Continuous High-Precision Positioning in Smartphones by FGO-Based Fusion of GNSS–PPK and PDR by Amjad Hussain Magsi, Luis Enrique Díez, Stefan Knauth

“…However, challenges like inconsistent pseudo-range and carrier phase observations, limited dual-frequency data integrity, and unidentified hardware biases on the receiver side prevent the ambiguity resolution of smartphone GNSS. Consequently, relying solely on GNSS for high-precision positioning may result in frequent cycle slips in complex conditions such as deep urban canyons, underpasses, forests, and indoor areas due to non-line-of-sight (NLOS) and multipath conditions. …”

Successful eradication of acquired factor VIII inhibitors with rituximab: a report of two cases by Ma'in Abumuhfouz, Anas Al-sadi, Awni Alshurafa, Israa Jawarneh, Ruba Y. Taha, Sarah A. Elkourashy

“…In Case 1, a 38-year-old male with idiopathic AHA achieved normal factor VIII levels and aPTT, with complete resolution of symptoms and no recurrence. In Case 2, a 68-year-old male with congenital hemophilia A and superimposed AHA responded positively to rituximab, showing stabilized factor VIII levels and no further bleeding episodes at a six-month follow-up.Discussion The management of AHA is complex due to its rarity and severe bleeding risks. …”

Comparative proteomic analysis of metronidazole-sensitive and resistant Trichomonas vaginalis suggests a novel mode of metronidazole action and resistance by Anna-Lena Mayr, Ana Paunkov, Karin Hummel, Ebrahim Razzazi-Fazeli, David Leitsch

“…Based on this finding and on further experimental evidence as presented herein, we propose a novel mechanism of metronidazole activation which is based on ferrous iron binding to proteins, thereby rendering them susceptible to complex formation with metronidazole. Upon resolution of iron-protein-metronidazole complexes, metronidazole radicals are formed which quickly react with thiols or proteins in the direct vicinity, leading to breaks in the peptide backbone.…”

What lurks in the dark? An innovative framework for studying diverse wild insect microbiota by Karol H. Nowak, Emily Hartop, Monika Prus-Frankowska, Mateusz Buczek, Michał R. Kolasa, Tomas Roslin, Otso Ovaskainen, Piotr Łukasik

“…Results Here, we implemented a novel multi-target amplicon sequencing approach to study microbiota in complex, species-rich communities. It combines four methodological innovations: (1) To establish a host taxonomic framework, we sequenced amplicons of the host marker gene (COI) and reconstructed barcodes alongside microbiota characterisation using 16S-V4 rRNA bacterial gene amplicons. (2) To assess microbiota abundance, we incorporated spike-in-based quantification. (3) To improve the phylogenetic resolution for the dominant endosymbiont, Wolbachia, we analysed bycatch data from the COI amplicon sequencing. (4) To investigate the primary drivers of host-microbe associations in massive multi-dimensional datasets, we performed Hierarchical Modelling of Species Communities (HMSC). …”
