Purpose Complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) are a frequent indication for admission to Hospital-at-Home (HaH) and outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) programmes. We describe the clinical, urological and microbiological profile, antimicrobial treatment and outcomes of a cUTI cohort managed in a HaH unit, and explored, in an exploratory analysis, factors associated with the 30-day composite of unplanned r...
Background and aims Soil microbial communities are vital for ecosystem function and biodiversity, yet their composition and drivers in Mediterranean agroforestry systems remain underexplored. This study characterizes soil fungal and oomycete communities in the rhizosphere of Quercus ilex L. across Spanish dehesa grasslands. Methods High-throughput sequencing was used to assess how climate, soil properties, and tree health infl...
Adaptive Acoustic Monitoring for Endangered Cook Inlet Beluga Whales in Complex SoundscapesNARA Subscribed
Effective conservation of the endangered Cook Inlet beluga whale ( Delphinapterus leucas ) requires comprehensive spatiotemporal data, yet monitoring efforts remain spatially biased, underrepresenting important southern habitats. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) provides the necessary broad‐scale coverage, but its expansion introduces substantial computational challenges, including high soundscape variability, rarity of targe...
Elasmobranchs, with their slow growth, long lifespans and low reproductive output, are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in nutritional status and energy availability throughout ontogeny. Fatty acids serve as valuable biomarkers for studying trophic ecology, ontogenetic dietary shifts and energy allocation during key life periods such as growth and reproduction. This study examined fatty acid profiles in Raja undulata by...
Soil Microbial Diversity and Network Organization Respond to Land Use and Agricultural Inputs WorldwideNARA Subscribed
Soil microbiomes are critical for ecosystem functioning, yet the global influences of climate and agricultural practices on their diversity and structure remain incompletely characterized. Here we analyzed 1921 soil samples from 33 countries worldwide across diverse biomes to assess how climate gradients and agricultural inputs, including pesticides and fertilizers, shape prokaryotic and fungal communities. We found that micro...
Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) remain a serious complication following hip and knee arthroplasty, affecting 1–5% of patients in developed countries and posing significant challenges to patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems. Conventional prophylactic strategies, such as antibiotic-loaded bone cement, suffer from limited post-implantation drug release and potential compromise of mechanical integrity. To overcome t...
Key factors of the deranged antiviral response in elderly patients with COVID-19: a machine-learning analysisNARA Subscribed
Age is a well-known risk factor to develop severe viral respiratory infections, including severe COVID-19. This study aimed to identify the biological alterations linked to severe disease in elderly patients with COVID-19. For this purpose, we employed a derivation cohort with 450 SARS-CoV-2 infected and unvaccinated patients admitted to hospital wards and a validation cohort with 244 SARS-CoV-2 infected and unvaccinated patie...
Composite indices for the comprehensive assessment of coastal wetlands: a global systematic reviewNARA Subscribed
Coastal wetlands are highly productive ecosystems and essential for human well-being, but severely threatened or impacted by anthropogenic pressure and climate change. In response to this condition, composite indices have been generated and applied as key tools for comprehensively assessing these systems, integrating biophysical, social, economic, and governance indicators. However, their use still presents a significant amoun...
