Unveiling root nodulation in Tribulus terrestris and Roystonea regia via metagenomics analysis.

Root nodule symbiosis is traditionally recognized in the Fabales, Fagales, Cucurbitales, and Rosales orders within the Rosid I clade of angiosperms. However, ambiguous root nodule formation has been reported in Zygophyllaceae and Roystonea regia (Arecaceae), although a detailed analysis has yet to be conducted. We aimed to perform morphological analyses of root structures in these plants and utilize metagenomic techniques to identify and characterize the bacterial populations within the nodule-like structures.

Breast cancer treatment delay and the Hispanic paradox: A SEER database analysis.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in US women. Knowledge gaps exist regarding healthcare inequities in Hispanic BC patients. This study assessed BC characteristics and treatment patterns among Hispanics.

Associations of blood pressure with white matter hyperintensities later in life; influence of short-term menopausal hormone therapy.

Objective: To assess the association of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) in recently menopausal women with white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume later in life and determine whether short-term menopausal hormone therapy (mHT) modifies these associations.

Methods: Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (KEEPS) was a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled 4-year mHT trial (oral conjugated equine estrogens or transdermal 17β-estradiol). KEEPS continuation was an observational follow-up of the participants 10 years after the end of mHT.

Red room temperature phosphorescence from lignin.

Materials with red room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) derived from sustainable sources are crucial but rarely reported. Here, we produced red RTP materials from lignin. Lignin was covalently modified with Upy (1-(6-isocyanatohexyl)-3-(6-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl) urea) to obtain Lig-Upy.

Ophthalmic Manifestations of Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia: A Systematic Review and Pooled Analysis of 86 Cases.

Purpose: This systematic review aims to consolidate evidence on ophthalmological manifestations of angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, focusing on its presentation, diagnosis, and management.

Methods: Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses-adherent systematic review was conducted across 3 databases from inception until September 2024. Case reports and series detailing angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia in ocular structures were included.
