Grapevine infections by Phaeoacremonium aleophilum in association with other pathogenic fungi cause complex and economically important vascular diseases. Here we present the first draft of the P. aleophilum genome sequence, which comprises 624 scaffolds with a total length of 47.5 Mb (L50, 45; N50, 336 kb) and 8,926 predicted protein-coding genes.

Novel luminescent silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) were synthesized utilizing DNA as templates by a simple, rapid and one-pot procedure. Luminescence studies indicated that these DNA-AgNCs exhibited strong emission with peak maximum at 624 nm. The fluorescence of the DNA-AgNCs was found to be quenched by Cu(2+) enabling its detection with high sensitivity and selectivity.

Similar to the 2006 consensus statement on the standardization of growth hormone (GH) assays (1 ), the guidelines regarding improvement of assay comparability in a recent consensus statement in Clinical Chemistry (2 ) are limitedto the recommendation to the recommendation of common use of the Second International Standard for Somatropin (IS 98/574), although it is recognized that discrepancies ...

Uterine rupture in women undergoing trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) has been associated with induction and length. Contemporary definitions normal progress, based on data collected by the Consortium Safe Labor depicted Zhang’s partogram, allow for longer duration, but excluded a uterine scar. Here, we present characteristics TOLACs complicated rupture, context contemporary management guid...
