Background: Actinobacteria are major producers of antibacterial and antifungal metabolites and are growing their search for substances of biotechnological interest, especially for use in agriculture, among other applications. The Amazon is potentially rich in actinobacteria; however, almost no research studies exist. Thus, we present a study of the occurrence and antifungal potential of actinobacteria from the rhizosphere of , a native South American plant and one that is economically useful in the whole of the Amazon.

- The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner (NYC OCME) investigates around 9,000-10,000 deaths annually, with a focus on formal identification processes.

Objective: To assess the relationship between surgeon volume and surgical approach for patients undergoing hysterectomy for benign indications among uteri of varying sizes.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent hysterectomy for benign indications from 2012 to 2021 within the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative registry. For each hysterectomy, the relative annual volume of the performing surgeon was assessed by calculating the proportion of hysterectomy cases contributed by the surgeon each calendar year relative to the total number of hysterectomies in the registry for that year.
Introduction: no previous large prospective studies have assessed the global quality of macronutrients in association with the risk of overweight/obesity. Objective: to prospectively assess the association of an overall macronutrient quality index (MQI) with weight change and the incidence of overweight/obesity in the Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra (SUN) cohort. Methods: the diet of 9,344 Spanish university graduates free of overweight/obesity (mean age: 36.
