Relative improvement in language vs. motor functions with reperfusion therapies for large vessel occlusion by Zaka Ahmed, Vivek Yedavalli, Wladimir Sarmiento Gonzalez, Argye E. Hillis

“…Because deep and motor areas often infarct relatively early in acute stroke, we hypothesized that reperfusion therapies improve predominantly cortical functions more than motor function. In this retrospective review of a prospectively collected database of patients with acute stroke due to large vessel occlusion, we evaluated percent improvement (mean change in score/maximum score) for different items of the National Institutes of Health Score Scale with and without endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), and/or intravenous thrombolysis. …”

The CPEB protein Orb2 has multiple functions during spermatogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster. by Shuwa Xu, Nathaniel Hafer, Blessing Agunwamba, Paul Schedl

“…There are two CPEB subfamilies and most animals have one or more genes from each. Drosophila has a single CPEB gene, orb and orb2, from each subfamily. orb expression is only detected at high levels in the germline and has critical functions in oogenesis but not spermatogenesis. …”

Differentiation characteristics and evolutionary mechanisms of agricultural regional functions in Loess Hilly and Gully Region by LONG Pei, WANG Yongsheng, LU Xue

“…Distinct spatial variations were observed in agricultural regional functions. Agricultural production function demonstrated a “strong periphery-weak center” pattern, social security function was stronger in the western region, and ecological protection and leisure tourism functions were more prominent in the eastern region. (2) Cluster analysis results showed that agricultural regional functions in the loess hilly and gully region were mainly characterized by the ecological-leisure type, primarily distributed in the southeast, accounting for 33%. …”

PmtA functions as a ferrous iron and cobalt efflux pump in Streptococcus suis by Chengkun Zheng, Mengdie Jia, Miaomiao Gao, Tianyu Lu, Lingzhi Li, Pingping Zhou

“…Here, we established that PmtA functions as a ferrous iron [Fe(II)] and cobalt [Co(II)] efflux pump in Streptococcus suis, an emerging zoonotic pathogen responsible for severe infections in both humans and pigs. pmtA expression is induced by Fe(II), Co(II), and nickel [Ni(II)], whereas PmtA protects S. suis against Fe(II) and ferric iron [Fe(III)]-induced bactericidal effect, as well as Co(II) and zinc [Zn(II)]-induced bacteriostatic effect. …”

Cognitive neuroscience approach to explore the impact of wind turbine noise on various mental functions by Agnieszka Rosciszewska, Maciej Buszkiewicz, Gabriela Dobrzynska-Kobylec, Anna Klichowska, Tomasz Przybyla, Blanka B. Nagy, Andrzej Wicher, Michal Klichowski

“…The findings of this pilot study reveal that short-term exposure to wind turbine noise with a sound pressure level corresponding to the real-world situation (i.e., 65 dB SPL) does not adversely affect any of the examined cognitive functions and is not perceived as more stressful or bothersome than road traffic noise. …”

Uncovering novel functions of the enigmatic, abundant, and active Anaerolineae in a salt marsh ecosystem by Paige E. Payne, Loren N. Knobbe, Patricia Chanton, Julian Zaugg, Behzad Mortazavi, Olivia U. Mason

“…The data revealed that the belowground salt marsh Anaerolineae in the rhizosphere are important players in carbon cycling, including degradation of simple carbon compounds and more recalcitrant plant material, such as cellulose, using a diversity of electron acceptors and represent an unexplored reservoir of novel secondary metabolites.IMPORTANCEGiven that coastal salt marshes are recognized as biogeochemical hotspots, it is fundamentally important to understand the functional role of the microbiome in this ecosystem. …”
