Article Synopsis
- Congenital syphilis (CS) is a preventable disease, but its control is complicated by socioeconomic and health system issues, particularly due to inadequately treated maternal syphilis (MaS) leading to severe complications.
- A study in a Brazilian public hospital examined the treatment of sexual partners (SP) of women with MaS, finding that from 2007 to 2014, there was a lack of treatment information for 73.9% of cases, with only 12.4% of the cases that had information indicating SP treatment.
- The research revealed a troubling trend of increasing missing data over time and low treatment rates for SP, suggesting that existing prenatal care services are not effectively resolving the issue, highlighting the need
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is a process of considerable economic, ecological and scientific interest. The central enzyme nitrogenase reduces H(+) alongside N2 , and the evolving H2 allows a continuous and non-invasive in vivo measurement of nitrogenase activity. The objective of this study was to show that an elaborated set-up providing such measurements for periods as long as several weeks will produce specific insight into the nodule activity's dependence on environmental conditions and genotype features.

The objective of the study was to follow Medicago truncatula nodule activity after nitrate provision continuously and to identify molecular mechanisms, which down-regulate the activity of the nodules. Nodule H2 evolution started to decline after about 4 h of nitrate application.
