TL;DR: The Fukui function, f(→), was proposed as a tool for deducing the relative reactivity of different positions in a molecule by Parr and Yang in 1984 as discussed by the authors, with special emphasis on its logical motivation, interpretation, qualitative characteristics, and practical computation.
Abstract: The Fukui function, f(→), was proposed as a tool for deducing the relative reactivity of different positions in a molecule by Parr and Yang in 1984. Herein we sketch the theory of the Fukui function, with special emphasis on its logical motivation, interpretation, qualitative characteristics, and practical computation. We conclude with some words about the Fukui function's extensions, limitations, and importance.

TL;DR: Nearly 1 in 5 participants in Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort, a national study of CKD, had evidence of AF at study entry, a prevalence similar to that reported among patients with end-stage renal disease and 2 to 3 times of that reported in the general population.

TL;DR: To the knowledge, this is the first study reporting the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater in North America, including the USA, however, concentration methods and RT-qPCR assays need to be refined and validated to increase the sensitivity of Sars- CoV- 2 RNA detection in wastewater.

TL;DR: Comparing acute pathogenic SIV infection in pigtailed macaques to non-pathogenic infection in African green monkeys indicates that loss of the Th17 to Treg balance is related to SIV disease progression.
Abstract: Chronic immune activation and progression to AIDS are observed after SIV infection in macaques but not in natural host primate species. To better understand this dichotomy, we compared acute pathogenic SIV infection in pigtailed macaques (PTs) to non-pathogenic infection in African green monkeys (AGMs). SIVagm-infected PTs, but not SIVagm-infected AGMs, rapidly developed systemic immune activation, marked and selective depletion of IL-17-secreting (Th17) cells, and loss of the balance between Th17 and T regulatory (Treg) cells in blood, lymphoid organs, and mucosal tissue. The loss of Th17 cells was found to be predictive of systemic and sustained T cell activation. Collectively, these data indicate that loss of the Th17 to Treg balance is related to SIV disease progression.
