GA, with some evidence of environmental injustices. Additional work is needed to investigate specific drilling-related exposures that might explain these associations. https//doi.org/10.1289/EHP7678.

Residing near oil and gas drilling sites during pregnancy was associated with a small reduction in term birth weight but not SGA, with some…[Read more]

linical situations should be based on comprehensive consideration of their properties.Cell membranes are integral to the functioning of the cell and are therefore key to drive fundamental understanding of biological processes for downstream applications. Here, we review the current state-of-the-art with respect to biomembrane systems and…[Read more]

Supporting this view, the transcription by all RNAPs is regulated by signaling pathways that sense different environmental cues to adapt a global RNA transcriptional response. This review focuses on how the phosphorylation of RNAPs might regulate their function and we comment on the regulation by phosphorylation of some key transcription factors…[Read more]

icropollutant removal by UV/chlorine oxidation under real water matrix.Sulfate radical (SO4•-) based oxidation shows great promise in wastewater treatment and subsurface remediation. For the first time, we demonstrated that SO4•- could induce the transformation of ammonium (NH4+) to nitrophenolic byproducts. Using high-resolution mass spe…[Read more]

Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Pinewood nematode, PWN) is the causative agent of pine wilt disease (PWD) which caused serious threat to pine forests in the world, especially in East Asia and Western Europe. At present, the control of PWD mainly rely on the massive use of pesticide despite the damage to human health and environmental safety.…[Read more]

Differentiating between posterior extradural tumors versus sequestered lumbar disc herniations may be difficult even utilizing contrast-enhanced MR scans.

A 49-year-old male acutely presented with an incomplete cauda equine syndrome. When the MRI showed a L4-L5 posterior extradural lesion that enhanced with gadolinium, an urgent left…[Read more]

Most tools (93%) assessed communication skills using in-person role play exercises with standardized (61%) or real (32%) patients, but only 54% described the expertise of the raters who performed the evaluations. Overall, reporting of the psychometric properties of the assessment tools was poor -moderate (4.5 ± 1.3 out of 9). CONCLUSION Despite…[Read more]
