In the present study, five new wood-inhabiting fungal species, (Stereaceae, Russulales), (Punctulariaceae, Corticiales), (Auriculariaceae, Auriculariales), (Incertae sedis, Russulales), and (Punctulariaceae, Corticiales), collected from southern China, are proposed based on a combination of morphological features and phylogenetic evidence. is characterized by membranaceous and smooth basidiomata with white to cream surface and ellipsoid and verrucose basidiospores (9-11 × 5-7 µm); is characterized white to buff, membranaceous basidiomata and ellipsoid, thin-walled and smooth basidiospores (7-8 × 4.5-5.5 µm); is characterized by coriaceous and grandinioid basidiomata with buff to cinnamon-buff hymenophore and allantoid, thin-walled basidiospores (13.5-17.5 × 7-9 µm); is characterized by buff to cream, coriaceous and smooth basidiomata and globose, thick-walled and warted basidiospores (10-12 × 10-11.5 µm), and is characterized by resupinate to effused-reflexed basidiomata and ellipsoid, thin-walled and smooth basidiospores (8.5-10 × 5-6 µm). Sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and the large subunit (nLSU) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) markers of the studied samples were generated. Phylogenetic analyses performed based on the ITS+nLSUrDNA gene regions with the maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony, and Bayesian inference methods revealed that five new species belong to the genera , , , , and . Descriptions, illustrations, phylogenetic analysis results, and a comparison with closely related taxa of the five new species are provided.

Objective: During the menopause transition (MT), abnormal uterine bleeding, characterized by prolonged (PMB) or heavy (HMB) menstrual bleeding, occurs often. We assessed whether PMB or HMB was associated with fatigue.
Methods: We used longitudinal daily menstrual calendar data from 2,329 participants in the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation to identify episodes of HMB and PMB.

Recent reports suggest a favorable prognosis for PHF6 mutation (PHF6) in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and unfavorable in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We accessed 176 consecutive patients with a spectrum of myeloid neoplasms with PHF6, including AML (N = 67), CMML (N = 49), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS; N = 36), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN; N = 16), and MDS/MPN (N = 8). PHF6 mutations were classified as nonsense (43%) or frameshift (30%) with the PHD2 domain being the most frequently (64%) affected region.

Bacteriophages constitute one of the largest reservoirs of genes of unknown function in the biosphere. Even in well-characterized phages, the functions of most genes remain unknown. Experimental approaches to study phage gene fitness and function at genome scale are lacking, partly because phages subvert many modern functional genomics tools.

Objective: The 3-dimensional (3D) double echo steady state (DESS) magnetic resonance imaging sequence can image knee cartilage with high, isotropic resolution, particularly at high and ultra-high field strengths. Advanced undersampling techniques with high acceleration factors can provide the short acquisition times required for clinical use. However, the optimal undersampling scheme and its limits are unknown.

In this work, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were obtained from the wood of L. Willd (Huizache) via acid hydrolysis; then, they were used to reinforce polyacrylic acid-co-acrylamide (AAc/AAm) hydrogels synthesized in a solution process via in situ free radical photopolymerization. The nanomaterials were characterized using atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and the residual charge on the CNCs; the nanohydrogels were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, swelling kinetics, and Young's modulus.
