Efficacy of resistance training during adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy in cancer care: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: To determine the effect of resistance training during adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy in cancer patients on measures of lean mass and muscle strength. Secondary aims were to analyse the prescription and tolerability of supervised resistance training in this population.

Methods: EMBASE, Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and Web of Science were searched from inception until 29 March 2021.

In situ localization of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in food by confocal scanning laser microscopy.

The aim of this study was to use confocal scanning laser microscopy to examine the in situ localization of Escherichia coli O157:H7 on beef (knuckle or brisket) and carrots and in semisoft cheese made from pasteurized milk. Using a combination of specific immunolabeling and dual-excitation confocal scanning laser microscopy, it was possible to clearly demonstrate the localization of E. coli O157:H7 within various food types.

Monitoring of complex industrial bioprocesses for metabolite concentrations using modern spectroscopies and machine learning: application to gibberellic acid production.

Two rapid vibrational spectroscopic approaches (diffuse reflectance-absorbance Fourier transform infrared [FT-IR] and dispersive Raman spectroscopy), and one mass spectrometric method based on in vacuo Curie-point pyrolysis (PyMS), were investigated in this study. A diverse range of unprocessed, industrial fed-batch fermentation broths containing the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi producing the natural product gibberellic acid, were analyzed directly without a priori chromatographic separation. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) were applied to all of the information-rich spectra obtained by each of the methods to obtain quantitative information on the gibberellic acid titer.
