Vineyard management systems influence arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi recruitment by grapevine rootstocks in New Zealand.

Aims: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can perform significant functions within sustainable agricultural ecosystems, including vineyards. Increased AMF diversity can be beneficial in promoting plant growth and increasing resilience to environmental changes. To effectively utilize AMF communities and their benefits in vineyard ecosystems, a better understanding of how management systems influence AMF community composition is needed.

Trends in the Use and Discussion of Race in Pediatrics Articles Over 75 Years.

Background And Objectives: Race-based medicine, which falsely assumes that race is biological, is common in the published medical literature. We analyzed trends in the use of race in Pediatrics articles over a 75-year period.

Methods: We analyzed a random sample of 50 original research articles published each decade in Pediatrics from 1948 to 2022.

The Haven Clinic: The Planning and Implementation of a Medical Home for Child Trafficking Survivors.

The authors describe the planning and implementation of a survivor-informed medical home for child trafficking survivors. Key partnerships necessary for establishing clinical infrastructure are highlighted. The trauma-informed clinical practices are described in detail.

Chromosome-level assembly of the genome reveals adaptation in effector gene families.

species are notorious plant pathogens, with some causing devastating tree diseases that threaten the survival of their host species. One such example is , the causal agent of kauri dieback - a root and trunk rot disease that kills the ancient, iconic and culturally significant tree species, (New Zealand kauri). A deeper understanding of how pathogens infect their hosts and cause disease is critical for the development of effective treatments.

DNA metabarcoding reveals high relative abundance of trunk disease fungi in grapevines from Marlborough, New Zealand.

Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) are a threat to grape production worldwide, with a diverse collection of fungal species implicated in disease onset. Due to the long-term and complex nature of GTDs, simultaneous detection of multiple microbial species can enhance understanding of disease development. We used DNA metabarcoding of ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) sequences, supported by specific PCR and microbial isolation, to establish the presence of trunk pathogens across 11 vineyards (11-26 years old) over three years in Marlborough, the largest wine producing region in New Zealand.

Human Trafficking ICD-10 Code Utilization in Pediatric Tertiary Care Centers Within the United States.

Background: Human trafficking is a global public health issue that affects pediatric patients widely. The International Labor Organization estimates children comprise approximately 25% of the identified trafficked persons globally, with domestic estimates including over 2000 children a year. Trafficked children experience a broad range of health consequences leading to interface with healthcare systems during their exploitation.

A Human Trafficking Educational Program and Point-of-Care Reference Tool for Pediatric Residents.

Introduction: Trafficked youth experience complex health issues such as substance abuse, severe physical trauma, and sexual health problems, with many entering trafficking between 15 and 17 years old. There is increasing awareness of the need to educate pediatric health care providers on identifying and aiding trafficked children; however, critical gaps in the literature exist regarding educational sessions specific to the human trafficking of pediatric patients. Our objective was to implement and evaluate a survivor-informed educational session for pediatric resident physicians to improve identification of and assistance to trafficked youth in the clinical setting.

Barriers to the access and utilization of healthcare for trafficked youth in the United States.

Background: Child trafficking is a pervasive public health problem in the United States, with significant health consequences for survivors. Previous studies demonstrated that survivors face barriers to healthcare, though much of the literature has not solely focused on domestic child trafficking.

Objective: To identify barriers to healthcare faced by survivors of child trafficking in the United States, and to characterize the landscape of available trauma-informed medical services.

Comparison of two commercial recirculated aquacultural systems and their microbial potential in plant disease suppression.

Background: Aquaponics are food production systems advocated for food security and health. Their sustainability from a nutritional and plant health perspective is, however, a significant challenge. Recirculated aquaculture systems (RAS) form a major part of aquaponic systems, but knowledge about their microbial potential to benefit plant growth and plant health is limited.

Molecular Phylogenomics and Population Structure of .

Functional analysis of RXLR effectors from the New Zealand kauri dieback pathogen Phytophthora agathidicida.

New Zealand kauri is an ancient, iconic, gymnosperm tree species that is under threat from a lethal dieback disease caused by the oomycete Phytophthora agathidicida. To gain insight into this pathogen, we determined whether proteinaceous effectors of P. agathidicida interact with the immune system of a model angiosperm, Nicotiana, as previously shown for Phytophthora pathogens of angiosperms.

Modern-day Slavery in our Health Care System: An Advocacy Journey.

The following is the winning submission from the third annual Section on Pediatric Trainees essay competition. This year's competition was informed by the 2018-2019 Section on Pediatric Trainees Advocacy Campaign: Advocacy Adventure, which empowered trainees to find their areas of passion, acquire and polish new skills, and organize advocacy efforts collaboratively. We asked writers to share experiences as physician advocates and were impressed with the broad variety of important topics submitted by trainees from around the country.

Barriers to the access and utilization of healthcare for trafficked youth: A systematic review.

Background: Healthcare has been identified as an important target for training on identification of trafficked youth. Survivors of human trafficking experience challenges in accessing healthcare, both during enslavement and in survivorship.

Objective: To examine the current evidence in the literature regarding barriers to healthcare faced by trafficked youth.

Genome sequencing of oomycete isolates from Chile supports the New Zealand origin of Phytophthora kernoviae and makes available the first Nothophytophthora sp. genome.

Genome sequences were generated for six oomycete isolates collected from forests in Valdivia, Chile. Three of the isolates were identified morphologically as Phytophthora kernoviae, whereas two were similar to other clade 10 Phytophthora species. One isolate was tentatively identified as Nothophytophthora valdiviana based on nucleotide sequence similarity in the cytochrome oxidase 1 gene.
