Pregnancy experiences of transgender and gender-expansive individuals: A systematic scoping review from a critical midwifery perspective. [PDF]

Birth
Abstract Background Evidence suggests that transgender and gender‐expansive people are more likely to have suboptimal pregnancy outcomes compared with cisgender people. The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the role of midwifery in these inequities by analyzing the pregnancy experiences of transgender and gender‐expansive people ...

Botanical microbiomes on the cheap: Inexpensive molecular fingerprinting methods to study plant-associated communities of bacteria and fungi. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci, 2020
High‐throughput sequencing technologies have revolutionized the study of plant‐associated microbial populations, but they are relatively expensive. Molecular fingerprinting techniques are more affordable, yet yield considerably less information about the microbial community. Does this mean they are no longer useful for plant microbiome research?

The roadmap to net‐zero emission: Do geopolitical risk and energy transition matter?

Journal of Public Affairs, Volume 23, Issue 4, November 2023., 2023
Global crises have heightened policy uncertainties and efforts to address global climate change. Limited evidence exists in the literature on geopolitical risk's direct and indirect roles in addressing global emissions. In this study, we examine whether geopolitical risk could impede or facilitate efforts to attain a net‐zero emissions target through ...

Advantages and disadvantages of non‐starter lactic acid bacteria from traditional fermented foods: Potential use as starters or probiotics

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 1537-1567, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Traditional fermented foods are a significant source of starter and/or non‐starter lactic acid bacteria (nsLAB). Moreover, these microorganisms are also known for their role as probiotics. The potential of nsLAB is huge; however, there are still challenges to be overcome with respect to characterization and application.

A Comparative Analysis of Haemoglobinopathy Diagnostic Techniques-The Ghanaian Picture and the Way Forward: A Narrative Review. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Introduction and Aim Although there are efficient methods for diagnosing haemoglobinopathies all over the world, their widespread application in Ghana is constrained by cost, infrastructure issues, and restricted access. In this narrative review, haemoglobinopathy diagnostic methods are compared, including assessment of their use in Ghanaian ...

Early melting of supercoiled DNA topoisomers observed by TGGE [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2000
We have used temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) to measure the progress of local denaturation in closed circular topoisomer DNA as a function of temperature and superhelicity (sigma). We describe the versatility of this method as a tool for detecting various conformational modifications of plasmid DNAs.

Bacterial community composition and extracellular enzyme activity in temperate streambed sediment during drying and rewetting. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Droughts are among the most important disturbance events for stream ecosystems; they not only affect stream hydrology but also the stream biota. Although desiccation of streams is common in Mediterranean regions, phases of dryness in headwaters have been

Temperature-Programmed Capillary Electrophoresis for Detection of DNA Point Mutations

BioTechniques, 1996
A method for unambiguous determination of point mutations in genomic DNA, based on electrophoresis in thin capillaries, is reported here. The method is based on the principle of temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE), a variant of denaturing ...
