Factors Related to Mental Health During the COVID-19 Lockdown in Spain.

The COVID-19 disease has forced governments to adopt exceptional measures. The lockdown decreed in Spain in 2020 required citizens to stay confined at home, which might have affected their mental health. The objective is to identify factors that influenced adults' mental health during this period.

Lactose drives expansion to promote graft-versus-host disease.

Disruption of intestinal microbial communities appears to underlie many human illnesses, but the mechanisms that promote this dysbiosis and its adverse consequences are poorly understood. In patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), we describe a high incidence of enterococcal expansion, which was associated with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and mortality. We found that also expands in the mouse gastrointestinal tract after allo-HCT and exacerbates disease severity in gnotobiotic models.

Investigation of Fluorine and Nitrogen as Anionic Dopants in Nickel-Rich Cathode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Advanced lithium-ion batteries are of great interest for consumer electronics and electric vehicle applications; however, they still suffer from drawbacks stemming from cathode active material limitations (e.g., insufficient capacities and capacity fading).

Efficacy of Aedes aegypti control by indoor Ultra Low Volume (ULV) insecticide spraying in Iquitos, Peru.

Background: Aedes aegypti is a primary vector of dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and urban yellow fever viruses. Indoor, ultra low volume (ULV) space spraying with pyrethroid insecticides is the main approach used for Ae. aegypti emergency control in many countries.

Post-Condylectomy Histopathologic Findings in Patients With a Positive Tc Methylene Diphosphonate Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomographic Diagnosis for Condylar Hyperplasia.

Purpose: To describe and correlate with age the histopathologic findings observed in a group of specimens obtained from patients who underwent high condylectomy.

Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 27 condylar specimens from patients with facial asymmetry, suspected condylar hyperplasia (CH), and a positive diagnosis by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) were evaluated. Histopathologic variables measured in the mandibular condyles were thickness of fibrous, proliferative, and hyperplasic cartilage layers and total tissue thickness.
