“…Liberal recreational deer harvest, baiting bans, and mitigation measures on farms have reduced but not eliminated bTB in deer nor have they eliminated transmission to cattle. With apparent prevalence in deer being low (1–2%) but constant, vaccination could be an additional tool to aid in addressing the problem and merits investigation. …”

“…The CrIS data are well correlated with ground-based Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC) retrievals for methanol (<span class="inline-formula"><i>r</i></span> <span class="inline-formula">=</span> 0.77–0.84); HCN and ethyne exhibit lower correlations (<span class="inline-formula"><i>r</i></span> <span class="inline-formula">=</span> 0.36–0.44 and 0.56–0.65, respectively) with an apparent 40 % CrIS–NDACC disparity for ethyne. The results reveal robust global distributions of the target VOCs from known biogenic, biomass burning, and industrial source regions, and they demonstrate the impact of anomalous events such as the 2015–2016 El Niño. …”

Reflections on the Yoruba Past: Toyin Falola on Isaac Delano by Wale Oyedeji

“…Understanding that the proliferation of such desecrating rhetoric that Africans are a people without history by Eurocentric scholars like Trevor Roper and David Hume was a consummate attempt to undermine their existence, and then justify their expansionist agenda, makes African scholars of various disciplines to stand in defense of their history, hence decolonization process in pre- and post-independence era. Apparently, it was Edward Said who asserts that, “domination and inequities of power and wealth are perennial facts of human society. …”

Immunologic and inflammatory consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection and its implications in renal disease by Hiam Naiditch, Michael R. Betts, H. Benjamin Larman, Moshe Levi, Avi Z. Rosenberg

“…Cytokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), some of which may be produced through mechanisms involving nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), likely contribute to the hyperinflammatory state in patients with severe COVID-19. Lymphopenia, more apparent among natural killer (NK) cells, CD8+ T-cells, and B-cells, can contribute to disease severity and may reflect direct cytopathic effects of SARS-CoV-2 or end-organ sequestration. …”
