Draft genome sequence of sp. strain G4 isolated from the Calientes geothermal field in Tacna, Peru.

We report the draft genome sequence of sp. strain G4, isolated from a hot spring in the Calientes geothermal field, Tacna, Peru. The genome was assembled into 164 contigs, totaling 3,362,411 bp, with an N50 value of 236,119 bp and a guanine-cytosine (GC) content of 52.

Hyperthermophile diversity microbes in the Calientes geothermal field, Tacna, Peru.

Hyperthermophile microorganisms have been discovered worldwide, and several studies regarding biodiversity and the potential biotechnological applications have been reported. In this work, we describe for the first time the diversity of hyperthermophile communities in the Calientes Geothermal Field (CGF) located 4400 m above sea level in Tacna Region, Perú. Three hot springs were monitored and showed a temperature around 84 to 88 °C, for the microbiome analyzed was taken by sampling of sediment and water (pH 7.

Go, go …. You'll be happier. Psychological variables among cyclists during COVID-19 lockdowns.

COVID-19 lockdowns involved radical changes in the habits and lifestyles of many. Notably, athletes saw their training routines altered. The relationship between lockdown effects and psychological variables was analysed using a sample comprising 1032 cyclists (average age: 42.

Injectable amniotic membrane/umbilical cord particulate for facet joint syndrome: A retrospective, single-center study.

Background: Facet joint syndrome (FJS) pain is a significant contributor to back pain and has a high rate of opioid prescription. Unfortunately, there are a limited number of therapeutic options for these patients.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of amniotic membrane/umbilical cord particulate (AM/UC) in managing FJS pain.

Ultrafiltration ceramic membrane as oxidant-catalyst/water contactor to promote sulfate radical AOPs: a case study on 17β-estradiol and 17α-ethinylestradiol removal.

This work highlights the performance of an ultrafiltration ceramic membrane as photocatalyst support and oxidant-catalyst/water contactor to promote sulfate radical advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs). Peroxydisulfate (PDS) activation mechanisms include photolysis (UVC irradiation) and chemical electron transfer (TiO-P25 photocatalysis). The photoreactor is composed of an outer quartz tube (the "window"-radiation entrance to the reactor) and an inner tubular ceramic ultrafiltration membrane, where the catalyst particles (TiO-P25) are immobilized on the membrane shell-side.
