New Insights in Microbial Stress Tolerance Mechanisms
Microorganisms are ubiquitous and can be found in various environments, ranging from extreme habitats like deep-sea hydrothermal vents, arctic glaciers, and outer space to more common environments such as soil, water, and the human gut. These microorganisms are exposed to diverse stressors, including temperature fluctuations, pH changes, toxin exposure, and nutrient deprivation, antimicrobial agents and host immune responses, which can threaten survival. However, many microorganisms have evolved numerous stress tolerance mechanisms that enable them to adapt and thrive in these challenging environments.
My Sax Life
Winner of 2005 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition Winner of 2005 National Medal of Arts Since defecting from Cuba in 1980—and indeed long before that in his native land— Paquito D'Rivera has received glowing praise time and again. A best-selling artist with more than thirty solo albums to his credit, D'Rivera has performed at the White House and the Blue Note, and with orchestras, jazz ensembles, and chamber groups around the world. My Sax Life is the English-language edition of D'Rivera's memoirs, published to acclaim in 1998. Propelled by jazz-fueled high spirits, D'Rivera's story soars and spins from memory to memory in a collage of his remarkable life. D'Rivera recalls his early nightclub appearances as a child, performing with clowns and exotic dancers, as well as his search for artistic freedom in communist Cuba and his hungry explorations of world music after his defection. Opinionated but always good-humored, My Sax Life is a fascinating statement on art and the artist's life.
Cubano Be, Cubano Bop
Based on unprecedented research in Cuba, the direct testimony of scores of Cuban musicians, and the author's unique experience as a prominent jazz musician, Cubano Be, Cubano Bop is destined to take its place among the classics of jazz history. The work pays tribute not only to a distinguished lineage of Cuban jazz musicians and composers, but also to the rich musical exchanges between Cuban and American jazz throughout the twentieth century. The work begins with the first encounters between Cuban music and jazz around the turn of the last century. Acosta writes about the presence of Cuban musicians in New Orleans and the “Spanish tinge” in early jazz from the city, the formation and spr...
Antimicrobial Resistance and Therapy in Critically Ill Patients
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States has deemed extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)-producing Enterobacterales and multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa as serious threats and carbapenem-resistant (CR) Enterobacterales (CRE) and CR Acinetobacter as urgent threats. Due to the prevalent drug resistance of these strains and lack of antimicrobial alternatives, the treatment of infections caused by these MDR Gram-negative pathogens rely on tigecycline, polymyxins (colistin and polymyxin B) or new β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combinations (such as ceftazidime-avibactam, CAZ/AVI). However, the critically ill patients with antimicrobial infection are associated with high mortality. Hence, the prevalence and optimal therapy for critically ill patients with antimicrobial resistance are worth further study.
Letters to Yeyito
A captivating memoir from one of jazz's most beloved practitioners, fourteen-time Grammy winner Paquito D’Rivera’s Letters to Yeyito is a fascinating tour of a life lived in music, and a useful guidebook for aspiring artists everywhere. Years after receiving a fan letter with no return address, Latin jazz legend Paquito D’Rivera began to write Letters to Yeyito in the hope of reaching its author, a would-be musician. In the course of advising his Cuban compatriot on love, life, and musicianship, D’Rivera recounts his own six-decade-long journey in the arts. After persevering under Castro’s brand of socialism for years, D’Rivera defected from Cuba and left his beloved Havana for that other great city: New York. From there, the saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer launched a dazzling—and still very active—career that has included fourteen Grammys, world tours, and extensive collaboration with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Yo-Yo Ma, and other music legends who make cameos in these pages. Full of humor, entertaining anecdotes, expert advice, and the musician’s characteristic exuberance, D’Rivera’s story is one of life on the move and finding a home in music.
