Microbial life is surprisingly abundant and diverse in global desert ecosystems. In these
environments, microorganisms endure a multitude of physicochemical stresses, including low …

Background Falls in elderly people are a major health burden, especially in the long-term
care environment. Yet little objective evidence is available for how and why falls occur in this …

149 Chinese children (70 boys, 79 girls) with Down's syndrome and congenital heart disease
were studied. Diagnosis of the cardiac abnormality was made by cardiac catheterisation in …

Numerous diverse microorganisms reside in the cold desert soils of continental Antarctica,
though we lack a holistic understanding of the metabolic processes that sustain them. Here, …

Ecological theory suggests that habitat disturbance differentially influences distributions of
habitat generalist and specialist species. While well-established for macroorganisms, this …

Soil microorganisms globally are thought to be sustained primarily by organic carbon sources.
Certain bacteria also consume inorganic energy sources such as trace gases, but they …

Background Hip protectors represent an attractive strategy for reducing hip fractures among
high-risk fallers in long-term care facilities. However, clinical studies yield conflicting results …

The microbial community composition and biogeochemical dynamics of coastal permeable (sand)
sediments differs from cohesive (mud) sediments. Tide- and wave-driven …

Molecular hydrogen (H 2 ) is an abundant and readily accessible energy source in marine
systems, but it remains unknown whether marine microbial communities consume this gas. …
