Objectives: To describe longer-term survival and morbidity outcomes after hospital discharge in a binational cohort of children who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation after cardiac surgery.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study from the Australia and New Zealand Congenital Outcomes Registry for Surgery database. All patients younger than 18 years of age (n = 12,290) undergoing pediatric cardiac surgical procedures between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2021, who required post-cardiotomy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the same admission were included.
Quantification of fungal biomass in mycelium composites made from diverse biogenic side streams.

November 2024
Mycelium composite materials are comprised of renewable organic substrates interconnected by fungal mycelium, allowing full biodegradability after use. Due to their promising material properties, adaptability, and sustainable nature, these biomaterials are investigated intensively. However, one crucial aspect that has hardly been covered so far is the proportion of fungal biomass in the composites, which would be necessary to assess its contribution to the material characteristics.

- - The study explores how circadian rhythms, seasonal changes, and weather conditions may impact thromboembolic events specifically related to popliteal artery aneurysms (PAA), as data was gathered from a German PAA registry and meteorological service.
- - Among the 1,200 cases analyzed, there were more symptomatic PAA patients in the first half of the year, particularly with symptoms appearing frequently in the morning; this suggests a seasonal and temporal pattern to their condition.
- - The research revealed a correlation between temperature drops and symptom onset, with older patients showing less sensitivity to temperature changes, highlighting a need for further study on how weather influences these vascular events.
Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new method called SAGES, which combines gene expression data with structural features of proteins to better understand protein evolution and function.
- Using SAGES and machine learning, researchers analyzed tissue samples from healthy individuals and breast cancer patients, focusing on gene expression and protein profiles.
- Key findings include the detection of intrinsically disordered regions in breast cancer proteins and potential links between drug responses and cancer signatures, indicating SAGES' broad applicability for studying biological processes.
The decision for or against mycoparasitic attack by Trichoderma spp. is taken already at a distance in a prey-specific manner and benefits plant-beneficial interactions.

September 2024
Background: The application of plant-beneficial microorganisms as bio-fertilizer and biocontrol agents has gained traction in recent years, as both agriculture and forestry are facing the challenges of poor soils and climate change. Trichoderma spp. are gaining popularity in agriculture and forestry due to their multifaceted roles in promoting plant growth through e.
