Genome sequences of three temperate actinobacteriophages from clusters FA and AS.

Three novel temperate siphoviruses, Juno112, KHumphrey, and ChuckDuck, were isolated from soil at Stevenson University using the bacterium B-2979. Based on gene content similarity, Juno112 and KHumphrey are assigned to actinobacteriophage cluster AS3 and ChuckDuck to cluster FA. All three phages encode tyrosine recombinases, with ChuckDuck encoding two.

Characterization of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in Chinese river and lake sediments.

Sediment pollution by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) is an emerging environmental concern with far-reaching implications, attracting considerable public, scientific and regulatory attention. This study analyzed 72 articles published since 2010 to assess the accumulation, sources, spatiotemporal trends, and contributing factors of PFAS pollution in surface sediments across China. The total concentrations of PFASs at the reviewed sites ranged from 0.

Antioxidant Response as a Candidate Prognostic Factor for Dengue Hypotensive and Hemorrhagic Complications: Results from a Nested Case-Control Study in Colombia.

Dengue infection has been associated with oxidative stress (OS) induction; however, whether such a response predicts the development of complications remains unknown. We conducted a case-control study (1:2 ratio) nested within a cohort of febrile patients with a presumptive or confirmed diagnosis of dengue. Incident cases were patients who developed hypotension or severe bleeding during the follow-up, whereas controls did not.

Acute Immunological Profile and Prognostic Biomarkers of Persistent Joint Pain in Chikungunya Fever: A Systematic Review.

Chikungunya virus infection (CHIKV) increases the risk of persistent arthralgia; however, there is no consistent evidence regarding prognostic biomarkers of progression to chronic arthropathy. This systematic review provides an overview of currently available literature about the potential role of the acute immunologic response in predicting long-term joint pain in patients with a diagnosis of CHIKV. We searched for observational studies using the terms "chikungunya," "cytokines," "biomarkers," and "joint pain" in PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Cochrane Library Plus, and SCOPUS databases, restricting to articles published in English and up to April 2024.
