Article Synopsis
- Seedling disease management relies on accurately identifying pathogens, and a recent study focused on isolating oomycetes from diseased cotton roots to determine the associated species.
- Culture-independent methods like PCR and high-throughput sequencing were used alongside traditional culture-based methods to identify oomycete species, revealing crucial data about their presence and abundance.
- The combined findings from both methods provided a detailed understanding of oomycetes related to cotton seedling disease, which is vital for future research and may encourage similar studies in other regions.
Cannabinoids have emerged as a potential treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This systematic review aimed to summarize the efficacy and safety of cannabinoids to treat OSA. Databases including Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, PsycINFO, and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts were searched; experimental and observational studies were eligible for inclusion.

This study aimed to analyze whether improvements in LASSI scores are sustained 1 year following an L2L elective course.
Methods: First-year pharmacy students in the classes of 2024 and 2025 completed the LASSI at the start of the fall semester and again immediately following an L2L course.
Objective: This study aimed to measure the effects of graded vs ungraded individual readiness assurance tests (iRATs) on the students' test scores and achievement goals in a team-based learning classroom.
Methods: A 2 × 2 crossover study was conducted in a required second-year pharmacotherapy course. Teams 1 to 8 were assigned to a UG iRAT during the first half of the course, followed by a G iRAT the second half of the course (G/UG group).
Many oomycete species are associated with the seedlings of crops, including upland cotton ( L.), which leads to annual threats. The diversity of oomycete species in Alabama needs to be better understood since the last survey of oomycetes associated with cotton in Alabama was 20 years ago-before significant updates to taxonomy and improvements in identification of oomycetes using molecular tools.
