Introduction: and Importance: Bilateral shoulder dislocations are uncommon and those are usually posterior dislocations. Bilateral anterior fracture-dislocations are rarest of their kind following seizure episodes.
Case Presentation: We present a case of bilateral fracture-dislocations of the shoulder following a seizure episode.
Charcoal rot and Fusarium wilt, caused by and f. sp. , respectively, are major soil-borne diseases of strawberry that have caused significant crop losses in California.

Managing these interactions offers an opportunity for improving the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural production. By characterizing the bacterial and archaeal community (via 16S rRNA sequencing) associated with bulk and rhizosphere soil of sixteen strawberry cultivars in two controlled field studies, we explored the relationships between the soil microbiome and plant resistance to two soil-borne fungal pathogens (Verticillium dahliae and Macrophomina phaseolina).

This disease was a major limiting factor in strawberry production in California in the 1950s and was the main reason that preplant soil fumigation with methyl bromide (MB) was developed in the late 1950s. MB fumigation was so successful that over 90% of the commercial strawberry fruit production in California utilized this technique.

Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) has potential as a biologically regulated disease control method; however, the role of specific metabolites and microbial community dynamics contributing to ASD mediated disease control is mostly uncharacterized. Understanding the trajectory of co-evolutionary processes leading to syntrophic generation of functional metabolites during ASD is a necessary prelude to the predictive utilization of this disease management approach.
