While melanoma is relatively rare among people of color, Black patients with have higher mortality than White patients. It remained unclear what subtypes and stage at diagnosis are associated increased in To investigate racial disparities between populations, we used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER 18) database focused on non-Medicaid insured (excluding uninsured Medicaid pati...

This summary presents the further analysis primarily corresponding to power spectral density (psd) of OFDM and PSK modulations. Here is the continuation of analysis of OFDM (chapter 2), description of PSK properties (chapter 3) and detailed derivation of PSK psd (chapter 4). The summary is concluded with compression of PSK bandwidth efficiency depending on the alphabet size and with introductio...

Sir,—I read with interest the article by Hawthorne and colleagues detailing failed intubations over 17 yr in a teaching maternity unit1. One result reported was that in only one of seven failed intubations for Caesarean section for fetal distress was neonatal outcome poor. In that instance it was thought that antepartum factors rather than the delay in delivery may have been responsible. Good n...

Gordonia amicalis strain CCMA-559 was isolated from an oil-contaminated mangrove swamp and shown to produce biosurfactants. This strain is a strict aerobe that readily degrades an array of carbon sources, including N-acetylglucosamine, cellobiose, Tween 80, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, and, like other G. amicalis strains, likely desulfurizes dibenzothiophene.

We report here the draft genome sequence of the biocontrol strain Pantoea agglomerans P10c, composed of a draft chromosome and two plasmids: the 559-kb large Pantoea plasmid 1 (pPag3) and a 182-kb plasmid (pPag1). A genomic island containing pantocin A biosynthesis genes was identified.
