Fate of the nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory veterinary drug flunixin in agricultural soils and dairy manure
Abstract A large percentage of flunixin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug widely used for treating livestock, is excreted in intact form and thus potentially available for environmental transport. As the fate of flunixin in the environment is unknown, our objective was to quantify sorption, desorption, and transformation in five agricultural soils and manure using batch equilibrium methods. Concentrations of flunixin and degradation products were determined by high performance...

Differences of the microbial community structures and predicted metabolic potentials in the lake, river, and wetland sediments in Dongping Lake Basin
Abstract In freshwater ecosystems, wetlands are generally distinguished from deep-water ecosystems by 2-m water level as boundary. However, the difference of sediment microbial communities between wetlands and deep-water ecosystems is still unclear. We combined 16S rRNA gene sequencing and community metabolic prediction to compare sediment microbial communities and predicted metabolic genes of wetlands (natural and constructed wetlands) and deep-water ecosystems (river and lake)...

The Effect of Translation Promoting Site (TPS) on Protein Expression in E. coli Cells
Abstract The study of translation initiation in prokaryotes assumes that there should be a mechanism different from the canonical model, which postulates the formation of the pre-initiation complex through the interaction of the Shine-Dalgarno sequence (SD) at the 5′-end of mRNA and the anti-Shine-Dalgarno site at the 3′-end of 16S rRNA. In this paper we’ve studied the effect of TPS (Translation-initiation Promoting Site) on β-glucuronidase expression in E. coli cells at different...

Homeless status and associations with treatment disparities for common skin conditions
Abstract Over 500,000 people experience homelessness in the United States on any given night.1 Skin disease is prevalent in homeless individuals, and increased morbidity has been attributed to environmental exposures, lack of resource access, and inconsistent healthcare.1,2 In this case‐control study, we identify differences in dermatologists' management of common conditions in homeless relative to non‐homeless patients that may contribute to healthcare disparities in the homeless.

Habitual scratching amplifies and perpetuates atopic dermatitis
Abstract We were fascinated and heartened to read this very helpful commentary1 on the study by Redhu et al2 who describe some precise physico‐biological pathways that link skin barrier disruption to itch in atopic dermatitis (AD). This may well explain how curtailing scratching in AD with the simple behavioural technique of habit reversal can so dramatically improve the condition3. It is important to note that scratching in AD over time often becomes not only a response to itch, but also to...

Ingenol mebutate 0.015% gel is safe for short‐term treatment of actinic keratoses on the face in solid organ transplant recipients
Abstract Immunosuppressed solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) have a high burden of AK, but have been excluded from clinical trials of ingenol mebutate 0.015% gel. This leaves dermatologists and transplant teams to extrapolate safety data from immunocompetent patients or from two case reports of use in SOTR. This single‐arm, open‐label investigator‐initiated study investigated the safety and tolerability of topical ingenol mebutate 0.015% gel in SOTR.

A Review of Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma Genomics
Retroperitoneal liposarcomas (RPL) are rare tumours that are challenging to manage surgically, and generally respond poorly to chemotherapy. They possess high local recurrence rates and in certain subtypes can metastasise. The retroperitoneum represents the second most common site of origin of these tumours after the extremities. There is general consensus in the sarcoma community that surgery to remove RPL with clear margins is the most beneficial intervention to improve recurrence free survival,...
