National-scale biogeography and function of river and stream bacterial biofilm communities Open
Biofilm-dwelling microorganisms coat the surfaces of stones in rivers and streams, forming diverse communities that are fundamental to biogeochemical processes and ecosystem functioning. Flowing water (lotic) ecosystems face mounting press…

Influence of storage time on the stability of diatom assemblages using DNA from riverine biofilm samples Open
DNA sequencing of diatom assemblages from biofilms has already been used to assess the ecological status of freshwater in the UK. However, recent work using DNA data from these biofilms suggests that alternate metrics that capture the broa…

Pilot feasibility trial of dual contingency management for cigarette smoking cessation and weight maintenance among weight-concerned female smokers. Open
Many women who smoke cigarettes report that concern about weight gain is a barrier to quitting. Indeed, most quitters gain weight and some attribute relapses to weight gain concern. Contingency management (CM), which refers to reinforcing …

Prevalence of Periodontal Disease and Periodontopathic Bacteria in Anti–Cyclic Citrullinated Protein Antibody–Positive At-Risk Adults Without Arthritis Open
This study found increased prevalence of periodontitis and P gingivalis in CCP+ at-risk individuals. This suggests periodontitis and P gingivalis are associated with disease initiation and could be targets for preventive interventions in R…
