Purpose: Biofilms are one of the main threats related to bacteria. Owing to their complex structure, in which bacteria are embedded in the extracellular matrix, they are extremely challenging to eradicate, especially since they can inhabit both biotic and abiotic surfaces. This study aimed to create an effective antibiofilm nanofilm based on graphene oxide-metal nanoparticles (GOM-NPs).

Bacteriophages may be an alternative method of food biopreservation and contribute to reducing the number of food poisonings requiring pharmacotherapy.

While considerable progress has been made in detailing the infectious cycle of , a full understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for virulence remains to be elucidated. Here, we apply a novel approach by modulating protein expression on the pathogen's ribosomes by inactivating a highly conserved rRNA methyltransferase.

- * It compared two groups of patients with treated hypertension: one group monitored during the pandemic and another monitored before it, looking at changes in hypertension phenotypes like sustained uncontrolled hypertension (SUCH) and sustained controlled hypertension (SCH).
- * Results showed no significant changes in the pandemic group’s hypertension phenotypes, while the pre-pandemic group saw an increase in SCH and a decrease in SUCH, suggesting the pandemic negatively impacted blood pressure management.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how the COVID-19 pandemic affected blood pressure control in patients with hypertension using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM).
- Data were compared between two groups: patients measured before the pandemic and those measured during it, with a total of 704 pandemic patients and 916 prepandemic patients included in the analysis.
- Results showed that during the pandemic, patients had higher blood pressure readings and a greater prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension, highlighting the need for strategies to manage blood pressure during such crises.
