Bacteriophage Challenges in Industrial Processes: A Historical Unveiling and Future Outlook.

Humans have used fermentation processes since the Neolithic period, mainly to produce beverages. The turning point occurred in the 1850s, when Louis Pasteur discovered that fermentation resulted from the metabolism of living microorganisms. This discovery led to the fast development of fermented food production.

Assessment of Usefulness of Randomized Control Trials in Child Health Research Published in 2007 and 2017.

Objective: To examine how clinical usefulness in pediatric research with randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has changed over a 10-year period via a research usefulness tool composed of unique clinical usefulness criteria.

Study Design: We leveraged a pre-existing sample of child health RCTs published in 2007, used by our team in a previous study. Using the same methods, a research librarian executed a literature search in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for the 2017 cohort.

Reproducibility of in-home CFRD screening using continuous glucose monitoring and mixed meal tolerance test.

Background: Cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) is associated with insulin-remediable pulmonary decline, so early detection is critical. Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) have shown promise in screening but are not recommended by clinical practice guidelines. Little is known about the reproducibility of CGM results for a given patient.
