Abstract
The use of organic fertilizers constitutes a sustainable strategy to recycle nutrients, increase soil carbon (C) stocks and mitigate climate change. Yet, this depends largely on balance between soil C sequestration and the emissions of the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O). Organic fertilizers strongly influence the microbial processes leading to the release of N2O. The magnitude and pattern of N2O emissions are different from the emissions observed from inorganic fertilizers and difficult to predict, which hinders developing best management practices specific to organic fertilizers. Currently, we lack a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of OFs on the function and structure of the N cycling microbial communities. Focusing on animal manures, here we provide an overview of the effects of these organic fertilizers on the community structure and function of nitrifying and denitrifying microorganisms in upland soils. Unprocessed manure with high moisture, high available nitrogen (N) and C content can shift the structure of the microbial community, increasing the abundance and activity of nitrifying and denitrifying microorganisms. Processed manure, such as digestate, compost, vermicompost and biochar, can also stimulate nitrifying and denitrifying microorganisms, although the effects on the soil microbial community structure are different, and N2O emissions are comparatively lower than raw manure. We propose a framework of best management practices to minimize the negative environmental impacts of organic fertilizers and maximize their benefits in improving soil health and sustaining food production systems. Long-term application of composted manure and the buildup of soil C stocks may contribute to N retention as microbial or stabilized organic N in the soil while increasing the abundance of denitrifying microorganisms and thus reduce the emissions of N2O by favoring the completion of denitrification to produce dinitrogen gas. Future research using multi-omics approaches can be used to establish key biochemical pathways and microbial taxa responsible for N2O production under organic fertilization.

Abstract
Through meta-analysis, we synthesize results from field studies on the effect of biochar application on NO emissions and crop yield. We aimed to better constrain the effect of biochar on NO emissions under field conditions, identify significant predictor variables, assess potential synergies and tradeoffs between NO mitigation and yield, and discuss knowledge gaps. The response ratios for yield and NO emissions were weighted by one of two functions: (i) the inverse of the pooled variance or (ii) the inverse of number of observations per field site. Significant emission reductions were observed when weighting by the inverse of the pooled variance (-18.1 to -7.1%) but not when weighting by the number of observations per site (-17.1 to +0.8%), thus revealing a bias in the existing data by sites with more observations. Mean yield increased by 1.7 to 13.8%. Our study shows yield benefits but no robust evidence for NO emission reductions by biochar under field conditions. When weighted by the inverse of the number of observations per site, NO emission reductions were not significantly affected by cropping system, biochar properties of feedstock, pyrolysis temperature, surface area, pH, ash content, application rate, or site characteristics of N rate, N form, or soil pH. Uneven coverage in the range of these predictor variables likely underlies the failure to detect effects. We discuss the need for future biochar field studies to investigate effects of fertilizer N form, sustained and biologically relevant changes in soil moisture, multiple biochars per site, and time since biochar application.

Abstract
RATIONALE In the last few years, the study of N2 O site-specific nitrogen isotope composition has been established as a powerful technique to disentangle N2 O emission pathways. This trend has been accelerated by significant analytical progress in the field of isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) and more recently quantum cascade laser absorption spectroscopy (QCLAS). METHODS The ammonium nitrate (NH4 NO3 ) decomposition technique provides a strategy to scale the 15 N site-specific (SP ≡ δ15 Nα - δ15 Nβ ) and bulk (δ15 Nbulk = (δ15 Nα + δ15 Nβ )/2) isotopic composition of N2 O against the international standard for the 15 N/14 N isotope ratio (AIR-N2 ). Within the current project 15 N fractionation effects during thermal decomposition of NH4 NO3 on the N2 O site preference were studied using static and dynamic decomposition techniques. RESULTS The validity of the NH4 NO3 decomposition technique to link NH4+ and NO3- moiety-specific δ15 N analysis by IRMS to the site-specific nitrogen isotopic composition of N2 O was confirmed. However, the accuracy of this approach for the calibration of δ15 Nα and δ15 Nβ values was found to be limited by non-quantitative NH4 NO3 decomposition in combination with substantially different isotope enrichment factors for the conversion of the NO3- or NH4+ nitrogen atom into the α or β position of the N2 O molecule. CONCLUSIONS The study reveals that the completeness and reproducibility of the NH4 NO3 decomposition reaction currently confine the anchoring of N2 O site-specific isotopic composition to the international isotope ratio scale AIR-N2 . The authors suggest establishing a set of N2 O isotope reference materials with appropriate site-specific isotopic composition, as community standards, to improve inter-laboratory compatibility.

Abstract
The taxonomy of the synnematous genera Cephalotrichum, Doratomyces and Trichurus, and other related genera Gamsia, Wardomyces and Wardomycopsis, has been controversial and relies mainly on morphological criteria. These are microascaceous saprobic fungi mostly found in air and soil and with a worldwide distribution. In order to clarify their taxonomy and to delineate generic boundaries within the Microascaceae, we studied 57 isolates that include clinical, environmental and all the available ex-type strains of a large set of species by means of morphological, physiological and molecular phylogenetic analyses using DNA sequence data of four loci (the ITS region, and fragments of rDNA LSU, translation elongation factor 1α and β-tubulin). The results demonstrate that Cephalotrichum, Doratomyces and Trichurus are congeneric and the genus Cephalotrichum is accepted here with Echinobotryum as a further synonym. The genera Acaulium and Fairmania, typified by A. albonigrescens and F. singularis, respectively, are distinct from Microascus and Scopulariopsis, Gamsia is distinct from Wardomyces, and Wardomycopsis is confirmed as a separate genus in the Microascaceae. Two new species of Cephalotrichum are described as C. brevistipitatum and C. hinnuleum. Nine new combinations are proposed, i.e. Acaulium acremonium, A. caviariforme, Cephalotrichum asperulum, C. columnare, C. cylindricum, C. dendrocephalum, C. gorgonifer, Gamsia columbina and Wardomyces giganteus. A neotype is designed for C. stemonitis. Lectotypes and epitypes are designated for A. acremonium, A. albonigrescens, C. gorgonifer, C. nanum and W. anomalus. Cephalotrichum cylindricum, C. microsporum, F. singularis and Gamsia columbina are also epitypified with new specimens. Descriptions of the phenotypic features and dichotomous keys for identification are provided for accepted species in the different genera.

Abstract
The family Stachybotriaceae was recently introduced to include the genera Myrothecium, Peethambara and Stachybotrys. Members of this family include important plant and human pathogens, as well as several species used in industrial and commercial applications as biodegraders and biocontrol agents. However, the generic boundaries in Stachybotriaceae are still poorly defined, as type material and sequence data are not readily available for taxonomic studies. To address this issue, we performed multi-locus phylogenetic analyses using partial gene sequences of the 28S large subunit (LSU), the internal transcribed spacer regions and intervening 5.8S nrRNA (ITS), the RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb2), calmodulin (cmdA), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1) and β-tubulin (tub2) for all available type and authentic strains. Supported by morphological characters these data resolved 33 genera in the Stachybotriaceae. These included the nine already established genera Albosynnema, Alfaria, Didymostilbe, Myrothecium, Parasarcopodium, Peethambara, Septomyrothecium, Stachybotrys and Xepicula. At the same time the generic names Melanopsamma, Memnoniella and Virgatospora were resurrected. Phylogenetic inference further showed that both the genera Myrothecium and Stachybotrys are polyphyletic resulting in the introduction of 13 new genera with myrothecium-like morphology and eight new genera with stachybotrys-like morphology.

Abstract
Species in the genus Gliocephalotrichum (= Leuconectria) (Hypocreales, Nectriaceae) are soilborne fungi, associated with post-harvest fruit spoilage of several important tropical fruit crops. Contemporary taxonomic studies of these fungi have relied on morphology and DNA sequence comparisons of the internal transcribed spacer region of the nuclear rDNA (ITS) and the β-tubulin gene regions. Employing DNA sequence data from four loci (β-tubulin, histone H3, ITS, and translation elongation factor 1-alpha) and morphological comparisons, the taxonomic status of the genus Gliocephalotrichum was re-evaluated. As a result five species are newly described, namely G. humicola (Taiwan, soil), G. mexicanum (rambutan fruit from Mexico), G. nephelii (rambutan fruit from Guatemala), G. queenslandicum (Australia, endophytic isolations) and G. simmonsii (rambutan fruit from Guatemala). Although species of Gliocephalotrichum are generally not regarded as important plant pathogens, their ability to cause post-harvest fruit rot could have an impact on fruit export and storage.

Abstract
Epidermoid cysts are common benign cysts which occur particularly on the skin of the face, neck and upper trunk. Subconjunctival location of these cysts is very rare and, until today, only seen in patients with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome. Histopathological examination of these cysts show similarities with odontogenic keratocysts, a typical clinical manifestation of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome.

Abstract
One of the unintended nitrogen (N)-loss pathways from cropland is the emission of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas and ozone depleting substance. This study explores the potential of alternative agronomic management practices to mitigate N2O emissions from corn cropping systems in major corn producing regions in the U.S. and Canada, using meta-analysis. The use of the urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) in combination with the nitrification inhibitor Dicyandiamide (DCD) was the only management strategy that consistently reduced N2O emissions, but the number of observations underlying this effect was relatively low. Manure application caused higher N2O emissions compared to the use of synthetic fertilizer N. This warrants further investigation in appropriate manure N-management, particularly in the Lake States where manure application is common. The N2O response to increasing N-rate varied by region, indicating the importance of region-specific approaches for quantifying N2O emissions and mitigation potential. In general, more data collection on side-by-side comparisons of common and alternative management practices, especially those pertaining to N-placement, N-timing, and N-source, in combination with biogeochemical model simulations, will be needed to further develop and improve N2O mitigation strategies for corn cropping systems in the major corn producing regions in the U.S.

Abstract
Environmental conditions and agricultural management events affect the availability of substrates and microbial habitat required for the production and consumption of nitrous oxide (N2O), influencing the temporal and spatial variability of N2O fluxes from soil. In this study, we monitored for diurnal and event-related patterns in N2O emissions in the field, evaluated how substrate availability influenced denitrification, and assessed N2O reduction potential following major events in two tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) management systems on clay loam soils: 1) conventional (sidedress fertilizer injection, furrow irrigation, and standard tillage) and 2) integrated (fertigation, subsurface drip irrigation, and reduced tillage). Potential denitrification activity, substrate limitation, and reduction to N2 were measured with an anaerobic slurry technique. In the field, we found no consistent diurnal patterns. This suggests that controlling factors that vary on an event-basis overrode effects of diurnally variable controls on N2O emissions. The lack of consistent diurnal patterns also indicates that measuring N2O emissions once per day following major events is sufficient to adequately assess annual N2O emissions in those systems. Nitrous oxide emissions varied per event and across functional locations in both systems. This illustrates that mechanisms underlying N2O emissions vary at relatively small temporal and spatial scales and demonstrates the importance of studying N2O emissions in the context of events and functional locations. In the conventional system, N2O fluxes were high [74.2±43.9-390.5±90.1 μg N2O-N m(-2) h(-1)] and N2O reduction potential was significant. Both management systems exhibited carbon limitation on denitrification rates; and rates were N limited in the third fertigation event in the integrated system. Our findings suggest that denitrification is strongly contributing to high N2O emissions in conventional tomato cropping systems in California. Hence, management practices that reduce the conditions that favor denitrification, such as subsurface drip irrigation, are promising strategies for N2O reduction.

Abstract
PURPOSE Optic nerve and optic nerve sheath infiltration by a systemic lymphoma is uncommon, but is exceedingly rare when caused by a T-cell lymphoma. This then generally occurs in association with central nervous system (CNS) involvement. We report on a rare case of optic and facial nerve T-cell lymphoma infiltration, without CNS involvement. METHODS A 63-year old female with systemic T-cell lymphoma in clinical remission presented with painful loss of vision in the left eye. She was initially treated for presumed recurrent optic neuritis. A thorough clinical work-up was performed, followed by an optic nerve biopsy with histopathology. RESULTS There was no perception of light in the left eye, with a marked relative afferent pupillary defect. Fundoscopy showed significant optic disc oedema and a large peripapillary subretinal infiltration. Subsequently, she developed a 7th cranial nerve paresis. Cranial MRI showed thickening and contrast enhancement of the left optic nerve and right facial nerve. Optic nerve biopsy showed infiltration of CD3- and CD5- positive lymphocytes. A complete systemic workup revealed no evidence of disease elsewhere. The patient was thus considered to have bifocal cranial recurrence of T-cell lymphoma, for which radiotherapy was started. CONCLUSIONS Optic nerve infiltration from systemic lymphoma is rare and generally occurs with CNS involvement. A bifocal pattern of recurrence from systemic T-cell lymphoma involving the right facial nerve and left optic nerve was seen in this patient. A review of the literature highlights the highly atypical nature of this presentation.

Abstract
Infantile haemangiomas (IH) are benign vascular tumours characterised by their very rapid growth. Although usually innocuous, periocular IH can cause serious visual loss through induction of strabismic, deprivational or anisometropic astigmatism. Common treatment modalities for these IH include intralesional and systemic oral steroids; however, both treatments are associated with potentially severe side effects. A report was published recently demonstrating the impressive effect of propranolol in the treatment of IH. This exciting finding has provoked a paradigm shift in the management of this condition. So far little has been reported in the specific ophthalmologic literature, although case reports are emerging. This review gives an overview of the recent findings and includes the authors' experience with 10 patients treated with propranol.

Abstract
SUMMARY From two randomised controlled trials, it is shown that 3-month changes in biochemical markers of bone formation (bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and C-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen) were associated with 3-year bone mineral density (BMD) changes, but not fracture incidence in patients treated with strontium ranelate. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to assess if short-term change in biochemical markers of bone remodelling is associated with long-term BMD change and fracture incidence observed during treatment with strontium ranelate. METHODS From the SOTI and TROPOS trials, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), C-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP), serum C-terminal telopeptides (S-CTX) and urine N-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (U-NTX) were assessed at baseline and after 3 months. RESULTS Two thousand three hundred seventy-three women were included in this study. Multiple regression analysis showed that 3-month changes in PICP and BALP but not s-CTX I nor s-NTX I were significantly (p < 0.001) associated with 3-year BMD changes at the lumbar spine and the femoral neck. Changes in s-CTX I, PICP and BALP were significantly associated with change in total proximal femur BMD. Changes in biochemical markers explain less than 8% of the BMD changes. The 3-month changes in BALP, PICP s-CTX I and s-NTX I were not significantly associated with fracture incidence. CONCLUSIONS Short-term changes in biochemical markers of bone formation are associated with future BMD changes in patients treated with strontium ranelate, suggesting a bone-forming activity of this treatment, but are not appropriate to monitor the efficacy of strontium ranelate at the individual level.

Abstract
The effects of temperature, water activity (aw), incubation time, and their combinations on radial growth and ochratoxin A (OTA) production of/by eight Aspergillus niger aggregate strains (six A. tubingensis and two A. niger) and four A. carbonarius isolated from Moroccan grapes were studied. Optimal conditions for the growth of most studied strains were shown to be at 25 degrees C and 0.95 aw. No growth was observed at 10 degrees C regardless of the water activity and isolates. The optimal temperature for OTA production was in the range of 25 degrees C-30 degrees C for A. carbonarius and 30 degrees C-37 degrees C for A. niger aggregate. The optimal aw for toxin production was 0.95-0.99 for A. carbonarius and 0.90-0.95 for A. niger aggregate. Mean OTA concentration produced by all the isolates of A. niger aggregate tested at all sampling times shows that maximum amount of OTA (0.24 microg/g) was produced at 37 degrees C and 0.90 aw. However, for A. carbonarius, mean maximum amounts of OTA (0.22 microg/g) were observed at 25 degrees C and 0.99 aw. Analysis of variance showed that the effects of all single factors (aw, isolate, temperature and incubation time) and their interactions on growth and OTA production were highly significant.

Abstract
Amino sugars in soils have been used as markers of microbial necromass and to determine the relative contribution of bacterial and fungal residues to soil organic matter. However, little is known about the dynamics of amino sugars in soil. This is partly because of a lack of adequate techniques to determine 'turnover rates' of amino sugars in soil. We conducted an incubation experiment where (13)C-labeled organic substrates of different quality were added to a sandy soil. The objectives were to evaluate the applicability of compound-specific stable isotope analysis via gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS) for the determination of (13)C amino sugars and to demonstrate amino sugar dynamics in soil. We found total analytical errors between 0.8 and 2.6 per thousand for the delta(13)C-values of the soil amino sugars as a result of the required delta(13)C-corrections for isotopic alterations due to derivatization, isotopic fractionation and analytical conditions. Furthermore, the delta(13)C-values of internal standards in samples determined via GC-C-IRMS deviated considerably from the delta(13)C-values of the pure compounds determined via elemental analyzer IRMS (with a variation of 9 to 10 per thousand between the first and third quartile among all samples). This questions the applicability of GC-C-IRMS for soil amino sugar analysis. Liquid chromatography-combustion-IRMS (LC-C-IRMS) might be a promising alternative since derivatization, one of the main sources of error when using GC-C-IRMS, is eliminated from the procedure. The high (13)C-enrichment of the substrate allowed for the detection of very high (13)C-labels in soil amino sugars after 1 week of incubation, while no significant differences in amino sugar concentrations over time and across treatments were observed. This suggests steady-state conditions upon substrate addition, i.e. amino sugar formation equalled amino sugar decomposition. Furthermore, higher quality substrates seemed to favor the production of fungal-derived amino sugars.

Abstract
Fungal endophytes were isolated from leaves of Centella asiatica (Apiaceae) collected at Mangoro (middle eastern region of Madagascar, 200 km from Antananarivo). Forty- five different taxa were recovered. The overall foliar colonization rate was 78%. The most common endophytes were the non-sporulating species 1 (isolation frequency IF 19.2%) followed by Colletotrichum sp.1 (IF 13.2%), Guignardia sp. (IF 8.5%), Glomerella sp. (IF 7.7%), an unidentified ascomycete (IF 7.2%), the non-sporulating species 2 (IF 3.7%) and Phialophora sp. (IF 3.5%). Using sequences of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, major endophytes (IF > 7%) were identified as xylariaceous taxa or as Colletotrichum higginsianum, Guignardia mangiferae and Glomerella cingulata. Results from in vitro fungal disk experiments showed a strong inhibitory activity of the xylariaceous non-sporulating species 1 against G. mangiferae and C. higginsianum and of C. higginsianum against G. mangiferae. This can be explained by antagonism between dominant taxa.

Abstract
The 5-Word test is a bedside memory test with free and cued selective recollection. Here, we evaluated its reliability Belgian French speakers. Five groups were studied : normal subjects, depressive patients, patients with AD, patients with vascular dementia and 47 patients for a validation of a logistic model. The results of the 5-Word test with the MMSE, both values were included as variables in a logistic regression model. The probability of diagnosis of AD and dementia can be calculated and used prospectively for assessment of new cases in a validation study. The importance of the study of free and cued response during immediate and delayed recall was assessed by variance analysis in 4 groups. A third order interaction (p < 0.001) was observed between the normal and AD groups, the normal and vascular dementia (VD) groups and between AD and VD groups. With this initial model, 98% of the 62 normal subjects and the 57 patients with AD were correctly classified (p < 0.001). For AD diagnosis at the onset, the sensitivity of the MMSE is increased when it is associated with the 5-Word. This low-tech bedside method associating the 5-Word test and MMSE has a good specificity for the diagnosis of AD. It is very useful for screening a population of patients at the onset of cognitive and memory deficiency and for selecting the patients requiring an examination at a memory clinic.

Abstract
Cyphellophora guyanensis sp. nov., isolated from leaf litter in French Guyana, is described and illustrated. This fungus is characterized by ampulliform to flask-shaped phialides, with a conspicuous, funnel-shaped collarette, and nearly straight to falcate or slightly sigmoid, (2-)3-6 septate conidia. Cyphellophora guyanensis is compared to the other Cyphellophora species, and the latter genus is compared to Kumbhamaya and Pseudomicrodochium. Kumbhamaya indica, P. fusarioides, and P. suttonii are transferred to Cyphellophora. The phylogenetic relationships of Cyphellophora with other genera of ascomycetes and related mitosporic fungi were inferred from the analysis of the partial nuclear ribosomal DNA SSU sequences data. The analysis supports a placement of Cyphellophora in Chaetothyriales, and probably in the Herpotrichiellaceae

Abstract
Giardiasis is an intestinal parasitosis affecting dogs and able to infect human beings. Its diagnosis can not be done with the only clinical signs, the main of which is non characteristic diarrhoea. It implicates to perform further tests to detect the parasite. The zinc sulfate concentration technique (ZSCT) is the more effective one if performed on two or three successive days. Fecal ELISA kits have been developed to detect Giardia in humans and were found to be less sensitive than the ZSCT in dogs. In this study, we used 30 infected Beagles to compare the sensitivity of one, two or three fecal examinations following ZSCT and one or two ELISA tests. We conclude that if a single ZSCT is insufficient, two or three ZSCT and one or two ELISA using the commercial kit ProSpecT Giardia have almost the same sensitivity.

Abstract
We report a patient with ocular abnormalities due to Alport syndrome. Considerable improvement of visual acuity was obtained following ocular lens extraction with foldable lens implantation in the right eye to compensate the effect of the lenticonus anterior. The presence of conjunctival telangiectasia is a new clinical finding in a patient with Alport syndrome.

Abstract
The full characterization of a novel insecticidal crystal protein, named Cry9Ca1 according to the revised nomenclature for Cry proteins, from Bacillus thuringiensis serovar tolworthi is reported. The crystal protein has 1,157 amino acids and a molecular mass of 129.8 kDa. It has the typical features of the Lepidoptera-active crystal proteins such as five conserved sequence blocks. Also, it is truncated upon trypsin digestion to a toxic fragment of 68.7 kDa by removal of 43 amino acids at the N terminus and the complete C-terminal half after conserved sequence block 5. The 68.7-kDa fragment is further degraded to a nontoxic 55-kDa fragment. The crystal protein has a fairly broad spectrum of activity against lepidopteran insects, including members of the families Pyralidae, Plutellidae, Sphingidae, and Noctuidae. A 50% lethal concentration of less than 100 ng/cm2 of diet agar was found for diamondback moth, European corn borer, cotton bollworm, and beet armyworm. It is the first insecticidal crystal protein with activity against cutworms. No activity was observed against some beetles, such as Colorado potato beetle. The protein recognizes a receptor different from that recognized by Cry1Ab5 in Ostrinia nubilalis and Plutella xylostella. In Spodoptera exigua and P. xylostella, it binds to a receptor which is also recognized by Cry1Cax but with a lower affinity. In these insects, Cry1Cax probably binds with a higher affinity to an additional receptor which is not recognized by Cry9Ca1. Elimination of a trypsin cleavage site which is responsible for the degradation to a nontoxic fragment did result in protease resistance but not in increased toxicity against O. nubilalis.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of a novel insecticidal crystal protein(Cry)-encoding gene from a Bacillus thuringiensis serotype kurstaki isolate is described. The gene is related to the known coleopteran-active cryIII genes and encodes a CryIIID that is much more active against Colorado potato beetle than other CryIII.
