MtlD as a therapeutic target for intestinal and systemic bacterial infections.

Unlabelled: The ability to treat infections is threatened by the rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic microbes. Therefore, new antimicrobials are needed. Here we evaluate mannitol-1-phosphate 5-dehydrogenase (MtlD) as a potential new drug target.

Socio-Economic Determinants of Cancer Screening Adherence Among Cancer Survivors: Analysis from 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.

Background: Factors associated with cancer survivors' preventive health behaviors are understudied. We hypothesized that socioeconomic and healthcare access factors may be associated with adherence to recommended cancer screenings.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using the 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.

Effect of second iron injection on growth performance, hematological parameters, and fecal microbiome of piglets fed different dietary iron levels.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of a second iron injection for suckling pigs fed diets with different dietary iron levels in the nursery period on growth performance, hematological parameters, serum and liver trace mineral content, fecal score, microbiome, and metabolites. A total of 70 newborn pigs from 7 litters were assigned to either one or two iron injections within litter and received the first i.m.

Modeling HPV self-sampling impact on cervical cancer in East African immigrants.

Introduction: Cervical cancer screening uptake among East African immigrants (EAI) in the US is low. Offering self-collected samples for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing increases screening coverage among underserved populations, but the potential impact on cervical cancer incidence and mortality is understudied.

Methods: A Markov cohort state-transition model was used to predict the impact of primary HPV screening with self-sampling on cervical cancer incidence and mortality among EAI women in Washington state.
