Unfortunately, the sub themes within these domains are only partially considered, and sometimes superficially considered. Some topics that were not determined in the literature as relevant needs factors were seen as important by social workers, or assessed too soon, including the stay or leave question. These findings underline the realistic risk that staff members miss the actual reasons women stay with their partners or make certain choices in their help-seeking behavior. Incorrect needs assessments enhance the risk of female victims feeling unheard, and ineffective service provision, leading to care avoidance and low compliance with the services provided.Preprint servers can enhance the access to scientific literature by bidirectional linkage from published papers (postprints) to their counterpart preprint versions. The current state of linkage is to link preprints to their corresponding postprints (peer-reviewed articles published in journals). Here, I suggest an opposite automated linkage, from postprints to preprints wherever and whenever preprints are posted on a preprint server. Such connection from paid postprint versions to free preprint versions makes sense as it removes the barriers to get access to paywalled publications freely and easily.Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) increases the global disease burden due to its diverse adverse health effects on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. This study aimed to elucidate the potential indicators of length of stay (LOS) and pharmacotherapy advice among COPD patients. Thereafter, hospitalized COPD patients with clinical records and respiratory and cardiovascular pharmacotherapy advice were retrospectively collected from a tertiary hospital between April 2017 and September 2020, and the determinants of LOS and cardiovascular pharmacotherapy advice were explored using regression analyses. Overall, 475 patients with COPD were recruited and stratified according to exacerbation and presence of Cor pulmonale (CP). The extended LOS, increased B-type natriuretic peptides (BNP), and a higher percentage of cardiovascular pharmacotherapy advice were observed in COPD with CP regardless of exacerbation, although the percentage of respiratory prescriptions was comparable. The presence of CP indicated a longer LOS (B = 1.850, p less then 0.001) for COPD regardless of exacerbation. Meanwhile, elevated BNP levels indicated cardiovascular pharmacotherapy advise for both COPD in exacerbation (OR = 1.003, p = 0.012) and absence of exacerbation (OR = 1.006, p = 0.015). Moreover, advice for trimetazidine use for COPD in exacerbation (OR = 1.005, p = 0.002) has been suggested. Therefore, CP appears to be an important comorbidity resulting in extended LOS for COPD, which is likely to be advised with cardiovascular pharmacotherapy, which might be guided through BNP monitoring.Oxalis corymbosa DC. introduced into China as an ornamental plant in the mid-19th century is commonly known as an important medicinal and edible perennial herb (Zhou et al. 2021). The plant native to South America is also an invasive and widely distributed weed found in agricultural farms, gardens, and lawns, especially in sugarcane fields of Guangxi province, China. The coverage rate of O. corymbosa in sugarcane fields was normally more than 70%, sometimes up to 100%. In March of 2021, a leaf spot disease of O. corymbosa from sugarcane fields was encountered in Nanning city of Guangxi province, China. Early symptoms appeared as small yellowish round spots. The spots turned to be irregularly, usually exhibiting pale brown necrosis in the center with dark brown necrotic well-defined margins. Severely infected leaves turned to be blighted, then dead. To isolate the pathogen, diseased leave tissue fragments (4 mm × 4 mm) were soaked in 75% ethanol for 10 s followed by 2% sodium hypochlorite for 1 min, and rinsedost in sugarcane fields in Guangxi, China. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Nigrospora hainanensis causing leaf spot on Oxalis corymbosa in China.Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) leaf sheath blight was observed for the first time in Sinaloa, Mexico in the summer of 2020. Fungal isolates were obtained from symptomatic tissue in PDA. Fusarium spp. were associated with symptomatic plants in ten sampling sites under field conditions. No root and stalk rot were observed during the sampling period. Analysis of fragments of the EF-1a and RPB2 genes indicated that all isolates belong to the Fusarium fujikuroi species complex (FFSC). Five groups were delineated from this complex F. thapsinum, F. verticillioides, Fusarium sp. (four isolates), Fusarium sp. (Fus4), and Fusarium sp. (Fus16), which is closely related to Fusarium madaense. The morphological characteristics (colony color and morphometry of conidia) of isolates with sequence similarities to those of F. thapsinum and F. verticillioides were in the expected range for these species. The morphology of isolates Fus7a, Fus7b, Fus11 and Fus17, as well as Fus4 and Fus16, were similar to those of the FFSC, specially to F. andiyazi and F. madaense. Inoculations of sorghum with representative isolates of F. thapsinum, F. verticillioides and the unidentified Fusarium species resulted in reddish brown lesions similar to those observed under field conditions; the original isolates inoculated were reisolated fulfilling the Koch's postulates. Although leaf sheaths on sorghum plants were heavily damaged, root and stalk rot were not observed in the greenhouse inoculations or under field conditions. Future research should focus on determining the identity of the unknown Fusarium spp. in order to design control measures of the disease. This is the first report of Fusarium spp. causing sorghum leaf sheath blight in Mexico.Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most important fruit crops in Chile based on economic value. Phaeomoniella chlamydospora and Botryosphaeriaceae species have been reported as the major causal agents associated with dieback symptoms in Chile commercial vineyards (Díaz and Latorre 2014; Besoain, 2018; Larach et al. 2020). Recently Eutypa lata has been reported attacking Chilean vineyards with dieback symptoms (Lolas et al. 2020). In this study, two commercial cv. Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, located in O'Higgins Region of Chile, showing dead cordons, dead spur with a grayish color, canker, and vascular necrosis were sampled in fall 2018, with a high incidence of symptoms was observed. Four symptomatic wood samples were analyzed from these vineyards. Pieces of wood ( less then 1 cm2) were taken from the advance zone of the canker lesions, disinfected with 70% ethanol, rinsed in sterile distilled water, dried, and transferred to two media in Petri plates, potato dextrose agar acidified with 0.5 ml of ns. Non-inoculated plants remained asymptomatic. The lengths of the cankers were 22.0 ± 1.8 mm and 10.5 ± 0.6 mm, after inoculations of the trunk and cane, respectively. The vascular lesions were 37.0 ± 3.3 and 18.0 ± 2.0 mm, in trunk and cane inoculations, respectively. D. ambigua was re-isolated and reidentified morphologically from the inoculated symptomatic plants, confirming Koch's postulate. Also, the plants inoculated on the trunk showed premature leaf drop. To our knowledge, this is the first report of D. ambigua associated with dieback affecting grapevines in Chile. Previous D. ambigua was reported causing fruit rots (Auger et al. 2013; Díaz et al. 2017) and cordon dieback in kiwifruit (Díaz and Latorre, 2018), and stem canker and dieback in blueberry (Elfar et al. 2013) in Chile. This study reports a new species of fungi for Chile associated with the dead arm in vineyards. D. ambigua is a pathogen in essential crops in our country. Therefore, it is important to study its prevalence in the future.Accurate species-level identification of an etiological agent is crucial for disease diagnosis and management because knowing the agent's identity connects it with what is known about its host range, geographic distribution, and toxin production potential. This is particularly true in publishing peer-reviewed disease reports, where imprecise and/or incorrect identifications weaken the public knowledge base. This can be a daunting task for phytopathologists and other applied biologists that need to identify Fusarium in particular, because published and ongoing multilocus molecular systematic studies have highlighted several confounding issues. Paramount among these are (i) this agriculturally and clinically important genus is currently estimated to comprise over 400 phylogenetically distinct species (i.e., phylospecies), with over 80% of these discovered within the past 25 years; (ii) approximately one-third of the phylospecies have not been formally described; (iii) morphology alone is inadequate to distinguish most of these species from one another; and (iv) the current rapid discovery of novel fusaria from pathogen surveys and accompanying impact on the taxonomic landscape is expected to continue well into the foreseeable future. To address the critical need for accurate pathogen identification, our research groups are focused on populating two web-accessible databases (FUSARIUM-ID v.3.0 and the non-redundant NCBI nucleotide collection that includes GenBank) with portions of three phylogenetically informative genes (i.e., TEF1, RPB1 and RPB2) that resolve at or near the species level in every Fusarium species. The objectives of this Special Report, and its companion in this issue (Torres-Cruz et al. 2022), are to provide a progress report on our efforts to populate these databases and to outline a set of best practices for DNA sequence-based identification of fusaria.Globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus L.) is native to the Mediterranean region and cultivated worldwide for its edible flower buds and the medicinal value of its leaves (Pignone and Sonnante 2004). In 2019, artichokes were planted on 29 km2 predominantly in California, with a yield of over 100 million kg (USDA 2020). It has been grown as a specialty crop in Florida since 2017 (Agehara 2017a). Meloidogyne spp. (root-knot nematodes/RKNs) can lead to yield losses to artichoke (Greco et al. 2005). In June 2020, artichokes (cv. Imperial Star) with stunting, wilting, and galled-root symptoms were observed in a research field with sandy soil located at the University of Florida Gulf Coast Research and Education Center (UF/GCREC), Wimauma, Florida. The goal of this report was to identify the RKN species collected from two symptomatic artichoke roots. Morphological measurements (mean, standard deviation and range) of 15 second-stage juveniles (J2s) included body length = 409.1 ± 31.6 (360.3 - 471.3) µm, bsoilborne problems for its production in the state. Its long growing season (October - May) (Agehara 2017b) allows for high nematode reproduction rates. Several new growers have already reported RKN as a problem in their fields. For artichoke to become a commodity in Florida, managing RKNs will be critical. This report provides new information on the risk that RKNs pose to artichoke, a newly established specialty crop in Florida.Wuweizi [Schisandra chinensis(Turcz.)Baill.] is used for traditional medicine in northeastern China. In August of 2019, root rot of S. chinensis with an incidence of 30%-50% was observed in a commercial field located in Liaozhong city (41º29'57" N, 122º52'33" E) in the Liaoning province of China. The diseased plants were less vigorous, stunted, and had leaves that turned yellow to brown. Eventually, the whole plant wilted and died. The diseased roots were poorly developed with brown lesion and eventually they would rot. To determine the causal agent, symptomatic roots were collected, small pieces of root with typical lesions were surface sterilized in 2% NaOCl for 3 min, rinsed three times in distilled water, and then plated onto PDA medium. After incubation at 26°C for 5 days, whitish-pink or carmine to rose red colonies on PDA were transferred to carnation leaf agar (CLA). TTK21 Single spores were isolated with an inoculation needle using a stereomicroscope. Five single conidia isolates obtained from the colonies were incubated at 26°C for 7 days, abundant macroconidia were formed in sporodochia.
