Controllable Synthesis of Magnetic 2D Non-Layered Cobalt Sulfide Nanocrystals Using Chemical Vapor Deposition.

Among 2-dimensional (2D) non-layered transition-metal chalcogenides (TMCs), cobalt sulfides are highly interesting because of their diverse structural phases and unique properties. The unique magnetic properties of TMCs have generated significant interest in their potential applications in future spintronic devices. In addition, their high conductivity, large specific surface area, and abundant active sites have attracted attention in the field of catalysis.

SEASONAL VARIATION OF BLOOD ANALYTES ASSOCIATED WITH SKIN HEALTH IN ALASKAN ICE SEALS.

Recent unusual mortality events involving skin pathology in bearded (), ringed (), and spotted seals () in Alaska highlight the potential sensitivity of ice-associated species to the complex effects of climate change. The regulation of thyroid hormones, cortisol, and vitamin A have been shown to play essential roles in skin health and seasonal molt in some pinnipeds. Unfortunately, the lack of available reference data for healthy Alaskan ice seals has prevented the adequate evaluation of these factors in cases associated with mortality events.

PHARMACOKINETICS OF CEFTAZIDIME IN SIGNAL CRAYFISH () FOLLOWING A SINGLE DOSE.

Crustaceans are housed in zoos and aquariums and have also gained importance in the private sector and food industry. Shell lesions are common and often attributed to bacterial infections. However, few controlled studies have been performed evaluating antibiotics in crustaceans.

Association between age or duration of diagnosis in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and response to mavacamten treatment: Exploratory analysis of the EXPLORER-HCM trial.

Background And Aims: In patients with symptomatic, obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), it is unclear if response to cardiac myosin inhibition varies with older age or a longer duration of diagnosis. This study evaluated the response of these subgroups to mavacamten therapy for all primary, secondary, and exploratory endpoints in the EXPLORER-HCM trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03470545).

Seroepidemiology of trachoma in a low prevalence region receiving annual mass azithromycin distribution in Maradi, Niger.

Background: Trachoma programs use the indicator trachomatous inflammation--follicular (TF) to monitor indication for and response to treatment for trachoma at the district level. Alternative indicators, including serologic markers, are increasingly being evaluated for trachoma surveillance. We evaluated seroprevalence of IgG antibodies to the Pgp3 antigen in two districts in Maradi, Niger thought to have low TF prevalence.
