    Abstract In the last couple of decades, much progress has been made in studying bacteria living in humans. However, there is much more to learn about bacteria immune cell interactions. Here, we show that anaerobic bacteria do not grow when cultured overnight with human cells under atmospheric air. Air contains about 18% oxygen, which inhibits the growth of these bacteria while supporting the cultivation of human cells. The bacteria cultured with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) inflamed with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) greatly increased the production of proinflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) while inhibiting the production of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), an important chemokine.

    Abstract Abstract: Thirty-three-year-old Caucasian male underwent initiation of levetiracetam following witnessed generalized seizure activity at the same time presenting with a right MCA territory ischemic stroke. He then developed elevated CPK and myalgias are highly suspicious for rhabdomyolysis following levetiracetam. Subsequent improvement noted following complete cessation of medication. At follow-up patient reported complete resolution of hemiparesis and myalgias and no new neurological deficits while tolerating valproic acid. This case exemplifies potential rare adverse effect of levetiracetam. Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic medication effective for both generalized and focal types of epilepsy by affecting a broad spectrum of neurotransmitter release via calcium channels GABA receptors and synaptic vessel protein 2A (SV2A). Typical adverse effects include mild dizziness, headache, nausea, somnolence and sometimes hostility. This case provides further evidence of a rare and potentially life-threatening adverse effect of rhabdomyolysis. Further study is needed to possibly detect the exact mechanism resulting in this rare and dangerous adverse effect.

    Abstract We present a theoretical account of some of the most likely hydrogen-related reactions with impurities in n-type and p-type solar-grade silicon. These include reactions with dopants and carbon, which are relevant in the context of life-time degradation of silicon solar cells, most notably of light and elevated temperature degradation (LeTID) of the cells. Among the problems addressed, we highlight a comparative study of acceptor-enhanced dissociation of hydrogen molecules in B- and Ga-doped material, their subsequent reaction steps toward formation of acceptor-hydrogen pairs, the proposal of mechanisms which explain the observed kinetics of photo-/carrier-induced dissociation of PH and CH pairs in n-type Si, analysis of reactions involving direct interactions between molecules with P and C, and the assignment of several electron and hole traps with detailed atomistic- and wavefunction-resolved models.

    Abstract The dentate gyrus of the anterior hippocampus is important for many human cognitive functions, including regulation of learning, memory, and mood. However, the postnatal development and aging of the dentate gyrus throughout the human lifespan has yet to be fully characterized in the same molecular and spatial detail as other species. Here, we generated a spatially-resolved molecular atlas of the dentate gyrus in postmortem human tissue using the 10x Genomics Visium platform to retain extranuclear transcripts and identify changes in molecular topography across the postnatal lifespan. We found enriched expression of extracellular matrix markers during infancy and increased expression of GABAergic cell-type markers

    Abstract (1) Background: This study examines the associations between risk behaviours and adolescent emotional and physical dating and relationship violence (DRV) victimisation and perpetration, and how these vary by gender. The risk behaviours explored include bullying, cyberbullying, sexting, alcohol, and cannabis use; (2) Methods: Cross-sectional self-report data from the School Health Research Network (SHRN) 2019 Student Health Wellbeing (SHW) survey of 48,397 students aged 11-16 from 149 schools across Wales were analysed using single and multiple-behaviour logistic regression models to explore the associations between each risk behaviour and emotional and physical DRV victimisation and perpetration; (3) Results: Bivariate analyses revealed a statistically significant association between DRV and all risk behaviours. In multivariate analyses, students who reported bullying, cyberbullying, sexting, and substance use, compared to those that had not, had significantly higher odds of experiencing and perpetrating emotional and physical DRV; and (4) Conclusions: Future studies on DRV should consider a mixed-methods approach to explore the context in which DRV and risk behaviours interrelate. Results from this study indicate the possibility that prevention and intervention programmes in school settings that seek to develop healthy school environments and peer-to-peer relationships, could inadvertently reduce the occurrence of future DRV and associated risk behaviours.

    Abstract Objective: The objective of our study was to compare the maternal and neonatal complications of periviable birth by the delivery route.
    Study design: A retrospective cohort study of periviable deliveries (22
    Results: After exclusion, 230 deliveries were included in the cohort. Maternal characteristics were similar between cohorts. For the primary outcome, cesarean delivery was associated with a trend toward increased maternal morbidity (22.6 vs. 10.7%, RR = 2.11 [1.03-4.43], aRR = 1.95 [0.94-4.03],
    Conclusion: Periviable birth has a high rate of maternal morbidity with a trend toward the highest risk among women undergoing cesarean delivery. These risks should be included in shared decision-making.
    Key points: · Periviable birth has high maternal morbidity (19%) and is highest after cesarean delivery (23%).. · Route of delivery does not impact neonatal survival or intact neonatal survival.. · Head entrapment is rare during vaginal breech delivery..

    Abstract A detailed understanding of where bacteria localize is necessary to advance microbial ecology and microbiome-based therapeutics. The site-specialist hypothesis predicts that most microbes in the human oral cavity have a primary habitat type within the mouth where they are most abundant. We asked whether this hypothesis accurately describes the distribution of the members of the genus Streptococcus, a clinically relevant taxon that dominates most oral sites. Prior analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequencing data indicated that some oral Streptococcus clades are site-specialists while others may be generalists. However, within complex microbial populations composed of numerous closely related species and strains, such as the oral streptococci, genome-scale analysis is necessary to provide the resolution to discriminate closely related taxa with distinct functional roles. Here, we assess whether individual species within this genus are specialists using publicly available genomic sequence data that provide species-level resolution. We chose a set of high-quality representative genomes for human oral Streptococcus species. Onto these genomes, we mapped shotgun metagenomic sequencing reads from supragingival plaque, tongue dorsum, and other sites in the oral cavity. We found that every abundant Streptococcus species in the healthy human oral cavity showed strong site-tropism and that even closely related species such as S. mitis, S. oralis, and S. infantis specialized in different sites. These findings indicate that closely related bacteria can have distinct habitat distributions in the absence of dispersal limitation and under similar environmental conditions and immune regimes. Substantial overlap between the core genes of these three species suggests that site-specialization is determined by subtle differences in genomic content.
