Scrub Power Adapters typhus is an insect-borne disease caused by Orientia sutsugamushi which may cause disseminated vasculitis and perivascular inflammatory lesions resulting in significant vascular leakage and cause end organ damage.Scrub typhus can lead to severe complications such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), myocarditis, hepat
Observational studies have reported high comorbidity between obesity and severe COVID-19.The aim of this study is to explore whether genetic factors are involved in the co-occurrence of the two traits.Based on the available genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary statistics, we explored the genetic correlation and performed cross-trait meta-
ObjectiveActive surveillance (AS) represents a fundamental shift in managing select cancer patients that initiates treatment only upon disease progression to avoid overtreatment.Given uncertain outcomes, patient engagement could support decision-making about AS.Little is known about how to optimize patient engagement for AS decision-making.This sco
Halotolerant microorganisms are promising in bio-treatment of hypersaline industrial wastewater.Four halotolerant bacteria strains were isolated from wastewater treatment plant, of which a strain LZH-9 could grow in the presence of up to 14% (w/v) NaCl, and it removed 81.9% chemical oxygen demand (COD) at 96 h after optimization.Whole genome sequen
