Dickeya dadantii is a plant-pathogenic enterobacterium responsible for the soft rot disease of many plants economic importance. We present here sequence strain 3937, widely used as model system research on molecular biology and pathogenicity this group bacteria.
The marine genus Pseudoalteromonas is known for its versatile biotechnological potential with respect to the production of antimicrobials and enzymes industrial interest. We have sequenced genomes three sp. strains isolated from different deep sea sponges on Illumina MiSeq platform. isolates been screened various industrially important comparative genomics has applied investigate relationships between their host organisms, while comparing them free-living spp. shallow environments. sponge...
BackgroundOlder people in the Emergency Department (ED) are clinically heterogenous and some presentations may be better suited to alternative out-of-hospital pathways. A new interdisciplinary comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) team (Home FIRsT) was embedded our acute hospital's ED 2017.AimTo evaluate if routinely collected CGA metrics were associated with disposition outcomes.DesignRetrospective observational study.MethodsWe included all first patients seen by Home FIRsT between 7th...
Type 2 diabetes is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide pre-diabetes strong predictor development. To date, studies estimating the prevalence in Irish population are sparse conflicting. Monitoring knowledge associated factors required to inform policies prevent development type diabetes. Therefore, this research examined correlates sample middle- older-aged adults using three different methods for diagnosis.The Mitchelstown Cohort Rescreen (2016/17) was follow-up,...
Abstract Background Frailty screening and early comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in the emergency department (ED) is recommended to deliver optimal care for older adults with frailty reduce associated pressures on hospital systems.1 Interdisciplinary acute teams (AFT) are best placed lead these specialist assessments a newly-expanded AFT was launched February 2024.2 Activity data from initial months of AFT’s operations analysed understand patient profile, service demand vs capacity...

A high proportion T2DM cases are undiagnosed highlighting the importance effective detection methods such as non-invasive risk scores (DRSs). Thus far, no DRS has been validated in an Irish population. Therefore, aim this study was to compare ability nine DRSs detect...
Abstract Background Frailty intervention teams are now commonplace in Emergency Departments (EDs). A geriatric assessment the ED should be multidimensional and include demographics, details of presenting complaint, frailty, delirium. The aim present review was to establish which these dimensions most predictive patient disposition (i.e. admit vs. discharge) a large university hospital. Methods Data reviewed from attendees aged ≥65 years assessed by frailty team over three-month period. Age,...
Abstract Background Older People are attending Emergency Departments (EDs) in increasing numbers but the optimal assessment measures to use have yet be established. This study examined clinical utility of different assessments strength, functional mobility, sarcopenia, cognition and frailty used by physiotherapist an interdisciplinary team (IDT) ED determined any associations with outcomes. Methods observational cross-sectional recruited adults ≥70 years who were assessed IDT on weekdays...
