Horticultural additives influence peat biogeochemistry and increase short-term CO production from peat.

Aims: Peat is used as a major ingredient of growing media in horticulture. Peat extracted from bogs can be acidic and low in nutrient availability and is therefore mixed with liming agents, nutrients, surfactants, perlite and so on. This study aims to estimate the rates at which raw peat and the modified peat ('growing media') decompose to release carbon dioxide (CO), to estimate the release of carbon (C) from liming agents and to estimate how peat biogeochemistry is changed.

Sleep difficulties related to psychopathology and neurocognition in people with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.

The 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome (22q11.2DS) is a multisystem genetic disorder with prominent sleep disturbances, neuropsychiatric conditions and neurocognitive challenges.

Guardians at the Gate: Optimization of Small Molecule Entry Inhibitors of Ebola and Marburg Viruses.

Ebola and Marburg (EBOV and MARV) filoviral infections lead to fatal hemorrhagic fevers and have caused over 30 outbreaks in the last 50 years. Currently, there are no FDA-approved small molecule therapeutics for effectively treating filoviral diseases. To address this unmet medical need, we have conducted a systematic structural optimization of an early lead compound, -(4-(4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4-(morpholinomethyl)benzamide (), borne from our previously reported hit-to-lead effort.

Intravascular Large B-Cell Lymphoma Case Report: A Diagnostic Challenge.

A 66-year-old female presented to the hospital for evaluation of multiple strokes over a three-month period. The patient underwent extensive testing to evaluate for autoimmune vasculitis and other hypercoagulable entities that were negative. Bone marrow and lymph node biopsies showed no evidence of lymphoma.
