Conversely, few gains and duplications were observed for domains involved in 'Capsid assembly and structure', and 'DNA Replication, recombination and metabolism'. Among the forty-one primordial domains encoded by Herpesviridae ancestors, twenty-eight are still found in all present-day HVs. Because of their distinct evolutionary strategies, HV domain repertoires are very specific at the subfamily, genus and species levels. Differences in domain composition may not only explain HV host range and tissue tropism, but also provide hints to the origins of HVs. © The Author(s) 2020.

Although great advances have been made in acute stroke management, the most of post-stroke care to reduce a patient's dependency relies on rehabilitation. Purpose To compare the effectiveness of exercises using an Erigo tilt-table and conventional physiotherapy in the rehabilitation of acute stroke patients. Methods A total of 110 acute stroke patients (age 51.08 ± 7.48 years, 8.69 ± 4.62 days after stroke) were assigned randomly into two groups, 55 in each for 30 days of conventional physiotherapy (Group A) or Erigo tilt-table (Group B) rehabilitation. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Mini-Mental Scale Examination (MMSE), Modified Ashworth Scale were used to measure muscle tone, quality of life (QOL) and muscle strength (MMT), Affected upper (UE) and lower limb (LE) outcomes were assessed at baseline (day 0), after day 30 of the intervention and on 90th day of follow up. Repeated measures ANOVA followed by a Bonferroni post-hoc test and independent Student's t-test were used for statistical analysis to evaluate the improvement in outcome variables within and between the groups. Results Both the treatments were effective. Notably, Group B patients showed a significant improvement in both QOL (p less then 0.001) and lower limb strength (p = 0.030) at day 90 and muscle tone (p = 0.011) at day 30 compared to Group A. Conclusion Both the groups improved with time but the Erigo tilt-table group experienced greater improvement in QOL, NIHSS and muscle strength of the lower limb. Thus, Erigo tilt-table can be used for early rehabilitation of acute hemiplegic patients and improving their quality of life and motor system, resulting in better functional performances. © The Author(s). Ataluren 2020.Due to its deleterious effects on health, development of new methods for detection and removal of pesticide residues in primary and derived agricultural products is a research topic of great importance. Among them, imazalil (IMZ) is a widely used post-harvest fungicide with good performances in general, and is particularly applied to prevent green mold in citrus fruits. In this work, a composite film for the impedimetric sensing of IMZ built from metal-organic framework nanocrystallites homogeneously distributed on a conductive poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) layer is presented. The as-synthetized thin films are produced via spin-coating over poly(ethylene terephtalate (PET) substrate following a straightforward, cost-effective, single-step procedure. By means of impedance spectroscopy, electric transport properties of the films are studied, and high sensitivity towards IMZ concentration in the range of 15 ppb to 1 ppm is demonstrated (featuring 1.6 and 4.2 ppb limit of detection, when using signal modulus and phase, respectively). The sensing platform hereby presented could be used for the construction of portable, miniaturized, and ultrasensitive devices, suitable for pesticide detection in food, wastewater effluents, or the assessment of drinking-water quality. © 2020 The Authors.
