Synopsis The term long COVID was coined by patients to describe the long-term consequences of COVID-19. One year into pandemic, it clear that all patients—those hospitalized with COVID-19 and those who lived disease in community—were at risk developing debilitating sequelae would impact their quality life. Patients asked for rehabilitation. Many them, including previously healthy fit clinicians, tried fight postviral fatigue exercise-based We observed a growing number experienced adverse...
The combined high pressure and heat resistances of spores five proteolytic Clostridium botulinum strains the nonpathogenic surrogate strain sporogenes PA3679 were compared with their heat-only on basis equivalent accumulated thermal lethality, expressed as minutes at a reference temperature 105 degrees C (F(105 C). Comparisons made three model (i.e., diluted) products, namely, 30% (wt/wt) Bolognese sauce, 50% cream rice water agar. Pressure was determined to act synergistically during...
Abstract Introduction The British Geriatrics Society ‘Joining the Dots’ blueprint recommends delivery of inter-professional education aligned with Skills for Health Frailty Core Capabilities Framework as part a system wide frailty strategy. Our ambition is to educate and train entire health care in awareness through Guildford & Waverley Academy (GWFA). Methods GWFA developed Awareness course Tier 1 introduced this programme workforce development frailty. was embedded e-learning platforms...
Characterizing starch-degrading Lactobacillaceae and associated enzymes remains relevant as various industries seek to harness their activity produce valuable by-products, develop novel food applications, aid the sustainable bioconversion of starch-rich resources. To support this, we developed a targeted methodological analysis framework utilizing complimentary phenomic genomic assays informative starch degrading potential . Adapted agar plate incorporating diversified sources states...
The inactivation of spores four low-acid food spoilage organisms by high pressure thermal (HPT) and thermal-only processing was compared on the basis equivalent lethality calculated at a reference temperature 121.1°C (F(z)(121.1)(°)(C, 0.1 MPa or 600 MPa)) characterized as synergistic, not different protective. In addition, relative resistances microorganisms to HPT were compared. Processing performed in both laboratory pilot scale systems model (diluted) actual products. Where statistical...
Vertically-aligned carbon nanotube arrays treated with inductively-coupled plasmas demonstrate selective support of biofilms Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
Abstract Fungal flora in coastal/inland beach sand and recreational water is a neglected field of study, despite its potential impact on human health. A joint ISHAM/ECMM working group was formed 2019 with the task to set up vast international initiative aimed at studying fungal contamination beaches bathing waters. Here we review importance topic, list main results achievements from 12 scientific publications. exists different levels genera most frequently found were Aspergillus spp.,...
Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is a complex, multi-system neurological condition. The defining feature of ME post-exertional malaise (PEM) with over 30 symptoms triggered by physical, cognitive, emotional and social activity. cause PEM unclear but one area research using cardio-pulmonary exercise tests show reduced ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) repeated leading to PEM. Pacing heart rate monitoring (HRM) provides feedback maintain activity intensity below the VAT. There only piece...
The Lactobacillaceae are lactic acid bacteria harnessed to deliver important outcomes across numerous industries, and their unambiguous, species-level identification from mixed community environments is an endeavor. Amplicon-based metataxonomics using short-read sequencing of partial 16S rRNA gene regions widely used support this, however, the high genetic similarity among species restricts our ability confidently describe these communities even at genus level. Long-read (LRS) whole or near...
Antimicrobial resistance in bacteria is a threat to both human and animal health. We aimed understand the impact of domestication antimicrobial treatment on types numbers resistant bacteria, antibiotic genes (ARGs), class 1 integrons (C1I) equine gut microbiome. Antibiotic-resistant fecal were isolated from wild horses, healthy farm horses undergoing veterinary treatment, isolates (9,083 colonies) screened by PCR for C1I; these found at frequencies 9.8% (vet horses), 0.31% (farm 0.05% (wild...
Background and objectives Individuals with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) have shown altered physiological responses during maximum cardiopulmonary exercise testing. However, maximal testing is not representative of the everyday activities reported to cause or increase symptoms in ME, accessible for those severe very illness. The aim this study was assess feasibility acceptability a home-based protocol measure ME activity.Methods Researchers attended participants' homes collect data provide...
Food preservation has been practiced by humans for millennia through fermentation, salting and drying. The industrialisation of food manufacture brought processes like canning freezing to control microbial safety enzymatic spoilage foodstuffs. However, this often comes at the expense nutritional sensorial quality attributes and, thus, novel processing technologies continue be developed serve increasing demand healthy eco-friendly products. In contrast thermal processing, these new make use...
