Timing Matters: A Meta‐Analysis of BREAST‐Q Administration in Tissue‐Expander and Implant‐Based Breast Reconstruction

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background BREAST‐Q is the most widely used patient‐reported outcome measure following breast reconstruction, yet no consensus exists on optimal timing or duration of administration. We analyzed BREAST‐Q follow‐up after implant‐based reconstruction, comparing direct‐to‐implant (DTI) and two‐stage tissue expander (TE), to determine how outcomes

Crohn's disease-associated adherent-invasive Escherichia coli adhesion is enhanced by exposure to the ubiquitous dietary polysaccharide maltodextrin. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Crohn's disease (CD) is associated with intestinal dysbiosis evidenced by an altered microbiome forming thick biofilms on the epithelium. Additionally, adherent-invasive E.

The Mechanical Properties of E. coli Type 1 Pili Measured by Atomic Force Microscopy Techniques [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2006
The first step in the encounter between a host and a pathogen is attachment to the host epithelium. For uropathogenic Escherichia coli, these interactions are mediated by type 1 and P adhesive pili, which are long (approximately 1 microm) rods composed of more than 1000 protein subunits arranged in a helical structure.

Increase in Pilus Islet 2–encoded Pili among Streptococcus pneumoniae Isolates, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
To define the prevalence of pilus islet 2 (PI-2)–encoded pili in Streptococcus pneumoniae in a geographically defined area, we examined 590 S. pneumoniae isolates from population-based surveillance of invasive pneumococcal disease in Atlanta, Georgia ...

Pasteurella lipoprotein E interacts with host ABCF2 to facilitate adhesion and cell apoptosis

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Pasteurella multocida can cause serious diseases in many animal species and humans, yet the mechanisms of its pathogenesis remain to be elucidated. In this study, we found that the lipoprotein E (PlpE) of P. multocida contributed to bacterial adhesion to host cells.

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

Colonization factor antigens I and II and type 1 somatic pili in enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli: relation to enterotoxin type [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1983
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) isolates from 36 persons with acute traveler's diarrhea from whom no other pathogens were recovered were tested (after no more than three subcultures) for the presence of colonization factor antigens I and II (CFA/I and CFA/II) and type 1 somatic pili.

Plants back: Re‐envisioning botanical garden collections management for indigenous crops

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Botanical gardens and other ex situ collections play a key role in preventing plant extinctions, yet the needs of Indigenous crop cultivars are not being met by conventional botanical collections management practices. Inspired by Indigenous land care restoration movements centering plant–human–society relationships, we propose a path toward reciprocal ...

The Hare and the Tortoise in Ecological L2 Learning: Distributed Practice Effects in Vocabulary and Grammar

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Research on the distributed practice effect, that is the impact of different intervals between learning sessions, has investigated both intentional and incidental learning of second language vocabulary and grammar targets. This research is complex and has produced conflicting findings: whereas robust effects have been shown for intentional ...
