A 35-year-old woman complained of an unpleasant odor for a few days after a change in foundation cream. The patient had previously undergone conjunctivo-dacryocystorhinostomy with a Jones tube fixed with non-absorbable suture. Slit-lamp examination revealed an orange-colored discharge in the tube. A culture test of the discharge showed (1+), (1+), and (1+). After medical treatment and suture removal, the discharge completely disappeared. This is the first reported case of a Jones tube infection following conjunctivo-dacryocystorhinostomy with multiple microorganisms, including .

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are contaminants of increasing concern, with over seven million compounds currently inventoried in the PubChem PFAS Tree. Recently, ion mobility spectrometry has been combined with liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-IMS-HRMS) to assess PFAS. Interestingly, using negative electrospray ionization, perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs) form homodimers ([2M-H]), a phenomenon observed with trapped, traveling wave, and drift-tube IMS.

Flowering plant sexual reproduction relies on the communication between the pollen tube and synergid cells to induce pollen tube bursting. During this process, the MILDEW RESISTANCE LOCUS-O (MLO) protein NORTIA (NTA) is polarly trafficked from the Golgi, where it is inactive, to the filiform apparatus, where it is functional in synergids. MLOs were recently described as calcium channels and have been proposed to be negatively regulated through calmodulin (CaM) binding at a conserved C-terminal calmodulin binding domain (CaMBD).

Premise: Co-occurring plant species that share generalist pollinators often exchange pollen. This heterospecific pollen transfer (HPT) impacts male and female reproductive success through pollen loss and reductions in seed set, respectively. The resulting fitness cost of HPT imposes selection on reproductive traits (e.

The settling of particles in fluids is a widespread phenomenon and commonly involves accounting for the effects of walls. Particle settling and wall effects are well understood for Newtonian fluids but the consequences of non-Newtonian fluid properties on particle settling are less well known. Here, we present the results from a set of experiments quantifying wall effects on particle settling within quiescent shear-thinning and viscoelastic (non-Newtonian) fluids for sphere-to-tube diameter ratios .
