Fusarium oxysporum , the causal agent of root rot and vascular wilt in common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris ), represents a substantial risk to legume cultivation. The current study offers a comparative examination of the antifungal efficacy of agro-industrial wastes from cumin ( Cuminum cyminum ), anise ( Pimpinella anisum ), and banana peel ( Musa paradisiaca ), and their green-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), against F...
Orientation and Swimming Behavior of Saithe ( Pollachius virens ) Larvae Increases the Chance of Recruitment to Nursery AreasNARA Subscribed
Saithe ( Pollachius virens ) is a semipelagic North Atlantic species supporting an important fishery. In the North Sea, saithe spawn east of the Shetland Islands, with larvae recruiting to coastal areas. Understanding the interaction between abiotic and biotic factors influencing larval dispersal is crucial for assessing their population structure. However, the swimming and orientation behaviors of saithe larvae, and their eff...
Sea lice can flourish when salmon are farmed in open sea‐cages, necessitating treatments to control outbreaks and reduce larval export. However, mobile ectoparasitic stages can be dislodged during crowding or other procedures, and potentially reinfest farmed or wild fish. We studied vertical movements and host‐finding behaviours of mobile salmon lice ( Lepeophtheirus salmonis ) released into the water column, and used those da...
The diverse contributions of nature to human well-being are evident among the Indigenous peoples. This study highlights the crucial role of traditional ecological knowledge systems (TEKS) in sustaining the flow of ecosystem services and nature’s values in agroecosystem-based livelihoods in the Cordillera Region. It aims to document TEKS, identify the ecosystem services and values derived from agroecosystems, and assess the inf...
The influence of prolonged aerobic exercise on cardiac, muscular, and renal biomarkers in trained individuals with obesityNARA Subscribed
Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of prolonged aerobic exercise on cardiac, muscular and renal inflammatory markers in a group of trained obese men. Methods Seventeen men (aged 40 ± 6 years; body mass index [BMI] 31.3 ± 2.8 kg m −2 , maximal oxygen uptake [V’O 2 max] 41.5 ± 5.6 ml kg −1 min −1 ) ran a half, 30 km, or full marathon. Troponin I (cTnI), the n-terminal creatine kinase-myocardial band (...
FreshLanDiv : A Global Database of Freshwater Biodiversity Across Different Land UsesNARA Subscribed
Motivation Freshwater ecosystems have been heavily impacted by land‐use changes, but data syntheses on these impacts are still limited. Here, we compiled a global database encompassing 241 studies with species abundance data (from multiple biological groups and geographic locations) across sites with different land‐use categories. This compilation will be useful for addressing questions regarding land‐use change and its impact...
Evidence of increasing juvenile white sharks ' ( Carcharodon carcharias ) habitat use at the Northern Channel IslandsNARA Subscribed
Juvenile white sharks ( Carcharodon carcharias ) typically aggregate along coastal beaches; however, high levels of recruitment and shifting oceanographic conditions may be causing habitat use expansions. Telemetry data indicate increased habitat use at the Northern Channel Islands (California, USA) by juvenile white shark that may be in response to increased population density at aggregation locations, or anomalous oceanograp...
Migraine, chronic kidney disease and kidney function: observational and genetic analysesNARA Subscribed
Epidemiological studies demonstrate an association between migraine and chronic kidney disease (CKD), while the genetic basis underlying the phenotypic association has not been investigated. We aimed to help avoid unnecessary interventions in individuals with migraine through the investigation of phenotypic and genetic relationships underlying migraine, CKD, and kidney function. We first evaluated phenotypic associations using...
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics, the neuroimaging features and associated anomalies observed in children affected by Dandy–Walker malformations (DWM) and variants (DWV) in a single tertiary hospital in Catania and compare our data to their existent in the literature. Methods A retrospective case series using the medical records has been performed on 28 children diagnosed with DWM and DWV admitted to a sin...
Kabuki syndrome is a well-recognized syndrome characterized by facial dysmorphism and developmental delay/intellectual disability and in the majority of patients a germline variant in KMT2D is found. As somatic KMT2D variants can be found in 5–10% of tumors a tumor predisposition in Kabuki syndrome is discussed. So far less than 20 patients with Kabuki syndrome and a concomitant malignancy have been published. Here we report o...
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and neuroimaging features of childhood presenting with gray matter heterotopia observed in a single tertiary Pediatric Department in Catania and compare the data with those reported in the literature. Methods A retrospectively review of the history, clinical findings, electrophysiological features and magnetic resonance images of 22 children presenting with gray matter hete...
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...
To determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass, we collected standardized morphometric, physical, and biological data in 230 lakes across the Mediterranean, Continental, and Boreal climatic zones of the European continent. Multilinear regression models tested on this snapshot of mostly eutrophic lakes (median total phosphorus [TP] = 0.06 and total nitrogen [TN] = 0.7 mg L −1 ), and its subsets (2 depth types and 3 climatic...
