Terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) is potentially reactive and, upon entering lake ecosystems, can be readily degraded to low-molecular-weight organic matter and dissolved CO. However, to date, there has been limited research on the links between long-term variation in the composition of DOM and CO emissions from lakes. Lake Taihu is a large, shallow, and hyper-eutrophic lake where DOM composition is strongly influenced by inputs from the rivers draining cultivated and urbanized landscapes.

Objective: To describe the use of plasma next-generation sequencing (NGS) and determine if it provided additional information from routine tests or lead to change in antimicrobial management.
Design And Setting: This retrospective cohort study evaluated patients with a NGS test performed who were admitted to a hospital health system in the greater Houston area between May 2022 and May 2023.
Patients: In total, 143 NGS tests were ordered in the span of one year for 135 unique patients.
Article Synopsis
- The corneal epithelium is vital for nutrient absorption and distribution on the eye's surface, relying on numerous nerve endings.
- Various studies have examined different methods to boost tear production and manage corneal disorders, emphasizing the importance of enhancing corneal nerve function through techniques like neurostimulation and medication.
- This review aims to summarize current research on improving corneal nerve function and overall eye health by focusing on modifying the trigeminal pathway, with an emphasis on finding new treatment strategies for corneal degeneration.
