The bee louse Braula spp. had until recently a distribution coincident with its host the honey bee. The adult fly usually attaches to a worker honey bee and steals food from its mouth. However, not all worker bees carry Braula spp. and the mechanism used by Braula spp. to select hosts is not well understood. Using choice remounting bioassays and chemical analyses, we determined host selection and the cues used by B. coeca, a species associated with the African honey bee Apis mellifera scutellata. Braula coeca successfully remounted bees from which they were initially removed and preferred their mandibular gland pheromones (MDG) over those of bees not carrying them...

The botnet attack is one of the coordinated attack types that can infect Internet of Things (IoT) devices and cause them to malfunction. Botnets can steal sensitive information from IoT devices and control them to launch another attack, such as a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack or email spam. This attack is commonly detected using a network-based Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) that monitors the network device's activity. However, IoT network is dynamic and IoT devices have many types with different configurations and vendors in IoT environments...

The emergence of COVID-19 dramatically changed social behavior across societies and contexts. Here we study whether social norms also changed. Specifically, we study this question for cultural tightness (the degree to which societies generally have strong norms), specific social norms (e.g. stealing, hand washing), and norms about enforcement, using survey data from 30,431 respondents in 43 countries recorded before and in the early stages following the emergence of COVID-19. Using variation in disease intensity, we shed light on the mechanisms predicting changes in social norm measures...

The mainstay of treatment of pediatric aortic coarctation is open surgery. One option for repair includes subclavian flap aortoplasty, first described by Waldhausen and Nahrwold in 1966. Within this technique, several modifications have been made over the years as long-term follow-up data became available. Early outcomes revealed little concern for left upper extremity limb ischemia or subclavian steal syndrome. These complications are rare but can have a significantly delayed presentation years after coarctation repair...

BACKGROUND: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is typically described as a peripheral nerve disorder in which exaggerated allodynia and hyperalgesia follow a minor injury. Some researchers propose a central mechanism, although current evidence is lacking. OBSERVATIONS: A 14-year-old female presented with classic CRPS symptoms of left upper-extremity weakness and hyperalgesia after a bout of sharp pain in her thumb while shoveling snow. A possible seizure prompted magnetic resonance imaging, revealing a right frontal Spetzler-Martin grade II arteriovenous malformation (AVM) adjacent to the primary motor cortex...

Women experiencing homelessness are marginalized not only through their housing status but also through their access and ability to manage their menstrual health. Currently, there are no existing published reviews exploring this topic. This study aimed to begin closing that gap, by systematically reviewing the literature examining women's experiences of menstruation whilst being homeless. In June 2020 (and updated in December 2022), we conducted comprehensive and systematic searches of four electronic databases: Medline, Web of Science, CINAHL, and PsychINFO, from which nine studies were found...

Vascular access (VA) flow suppression surgery augments VA flow resistance and can increase other circulation flows hindered by high-flow VA. However, whether VA flow suppression surgery affects cervical circulation has rarely been reported. We aimed to determine the effect of VA flow suppression surgery on the cervical circulation in patients with high-flow VA. This single-center, retrospective, observational study included 85 hemodialysis patients who underwent VA flow suppression surgery at the Kanno Dialysis and Access Clinic between 2009 and 2018...

Sirenomelia is a rare lethal multi-systemic birth malformation in which the two lower limbs are replaced with a rotated single midline tail-like limb. Several hypotheses try to explain this syndrome, with the most prominent theories being the "vascular steal hypothesis" and the "defective blastogenesis hypothesis." We report a case of a baby with sirenomelia who had a single femur and a single tibia, which classify the case as type VI on Stocker and Heifetz classification. The only risk factor in our case is young maternal age...

Pundits have speculated that the spread of conspiracies and misinformation (termed "misbeliefs") is leading to a resurgence of right-wing, reactionary movements. However, the current empirical picture regarding the relationship between misbeliefs and collective action is mixed. We help clarify these associations by using two waves of data collected during the COVID-19 Pandemic (in Australia, N = 519, and the United States, N = 510) and democratic elections (in New Zealand N = 603, and the United States N = 609) to examine the effects of misbeliefs on support for reactionary movements (e...

Low-molecular weight (LMW) thiols, encompassing peptides and small proteins with active cysteine residue(s), are important to bacteria as they are involved in a wide range of redox reactions. They include the tripeptide glutathione (GSH) and the small redox proteins, thioredoxins and glutaredoxins. We review the low MW thiols and related molecules in Francisella species and what role they may play in growth and virulence. Genes for GSH biosynthesis, metabolism and thioredoxins are present in all strains of Francisella , including the fully human-virulent strains...

People experiencing homelessness balance competing priorities resulting in reduced capacity to meet the care demands of chronic conditions, including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Arts-based performances present an avenue to expose others to these challenges. This article describes the process of incorporating qualitative research findings in a community-based participatory theater production to expose audiences to the day-to-day realities of living with T2DM while simultaneously experiencing homelessness...

Coronary arteriovenous fistulas are an abnormal conduit between a coronary artery and another cardiovascular lumen, without an intervening capillary bed. The reported prevalence is 0.002-0.3%. Physiologic consequences such as congestive heart failure, coronary steal phenomenon and fistula aneurysm formation and rupture are possible. There are limited reports of symptomatic coronary arteriovenous fistulas in association with pregnancy. We describe a 19-year-old woman with symptomatic left circumflex artery to coronary sinus fistula, terminating into a large exophytic varix in the right atrium, presenting for an elective caesarean section at 37 weeks gestational age...

Double Subclavian Steal Syndrome As Initial Manifestation of Erdheim-Chester Disease: A Case Report.
Josef Finsterer
Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a histiocytosis that infiltrates all organs, but especially large arteries such as the aorta and its branches, which become sheathed and lead to multiple stenoses or even occlusions. Subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) has not been reported in ECD. A 68-year-old female was diagnosed with ECD due to the typical sheathing of the aorta and its major branches. Five years previously, asymptomatic SSS due to stenosis of the left subclavian artery was incidentally diagnosed. In the following years, occlusion of the subclavian and left vertebral artery, and stenosis of basilar artery and right middle cerebral artery occurred...

Phage satellites commonly remodel capsids they hijack from the phages they parasitize, but only a few mechanisms regulating the change in capsid size have been reported. Here, we investigated how a satellite from Vibrio cholerae , phage-inducible chromosomal island-like element (PLE), remodels the capsid it has been predicted to steal from the phage ICP1 (Netter et al., 2021). We identified that a PLE-encoded protein, TcaP, is both necessary and sufficient to form small capsids during ICP1 infection. Interestingly, we found that PLE is dependent on small capsids for efficient transduction of its genome, making it the first satellite to have this requirement...

In today's digitalized era, the usage of Android devices is being extensively witnessed in various sectors. Cybercriminals inevitably adapt to new security technologies and utilize these platforms to exploit vulnerabilities for nefarious purposes, such as stealing users' sensitive and personal data. This may result in financial losses, discredit, ransomware, or the spreading of infectious malware and other catastrophic cyber-attacks. Due to the fact that ransomware encrypts user data and requests a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key, it is one of the most devastating types of malicious software...
