An Outbreak of Synthetic Cannabinoid-Adulterated Tianeptine Products in New Jersey – Case SeriesNARA Subscribed
Background Tianeptine, an atypical antidepressant not approved in the United States, is readily purchased from unregulated markets such as the internet and gas stations. We became aware of a cluster of 34 patients in New Jersey who became ill following ingestion of the tianeptine containing-product Neptune’s Fix, the rate of which (4.6 cases per month) far exceeded the background rate for this substance of 0.5 cases per year....
Common, low-frequency, rare, and ultra-rare coding variants contribute to COVID-19 severityNARA Subscribed
The combined impact of common and rare exonic variants in COVID-19 host genetics is currently insufficiently understood. Here, common and rare variants from whole-exome sequencing data of about 4000 SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were used to define an interpretable machine-learning model for predicting COVID-19 severity. First, variants were converted into separate sets of Boolean features, depending on the absence or the pr...
Distribution and diversity of alternate hosts of Maruca vitrata Fabricius in three West African countriesNARA Subscribed
The evolution of resistance to the Bacillus thuringiensis ( Bt ) toxins by insect pests is a major threat to Bt technology. However, the rate of resistance can be slowed with appropriate integrated insect resistance management (IRM) strategies. Surveys were conducted to identify alternate host species for Maruca vitrata (commonly called the legume pod borer or Maruca ) that could serve as refuges for Pod-Borer Resistant (PBR)...
Following a lack of detected change in white shark Carcharodon carcharias L. 1758 diet and nutritional condition attributed to the interaction with the cage‐diving industry, Lusseau and Derous ( Tourism Management , 2019, 75, 547–549) cautioned the use of muscle lipids and fatty acids in this context, advocating for other biomarkers. This study provides additional evidence from peer‐reviewed literature to contend the usefulnes...
We developed a method to predict the susceptibility of New Zealand estuaries to eutrophication. This method predicts macroalgae and phytoplankton responses to potential nutrient concentrations and flushing times, obtained nationally from simple dilution models, a GIS land-use model and physical estuary properties. Macroalgal response was based on an empirically derived relationship between potential nitrogen concentrations and...
On the Relevance of ln(z0/z0T) = kB-1NARA Subscribed
Management and conservation of marine predator species relies on a fundamental knowledge of their movements and behaviour. Pop‐up satellite archival tags were used to investigate the vertical movement patterns of five blue sharks ( Prionace glauca ) and one thresher shark ( Alopias vulpinus ) within the southeastern Indian Ocean. Sections of similar depth distribution, identified using a split moving window analysis, were inve...
