Article Synopsis
- * Nine studies were analyzed, focusing on various ball characteristics such as inflation pressure, mass, size, and stiffness, revealing that less inflation, lower mass, and decreased stiffness could reduce impact forces.
- * The review highlighted the need for more controlled studies to better understand the biomechanics of heading and suggested that standard testing methods could help in developing safer soccer balls to lower injury risks.
Pseudomonas lipopeptides (LPs) are involved in diverse ecological functions and have biotechnological application potential associated with their antimicrobial and/or antiproliferative activities. They are synthesized by multimodular nonribosomal peptide synthetases which, together with transport and regulatory proteins, are encoded by large biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). These secondary metabolites are classified in distinct families based on the sequence and length of the oligopeptide and size of the macrocycle, if present.

This study aimed to examine the added and interpretative value of the CGM-derived indices TIR and coefficient of variation (CV%) in T1DM patients stratified according to their level of glycemic control by means of HbA1C.
Methods: T1DM patients with a minimum disease duration of 10 years and without known macrovascular disease were enrolled.
The draft genome sequence of wheat rhizosphere isolate sp. strain SWRI103 is reported. This strain carries several gene clusters encoding nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs), including a system for cyclic lipopeptide (CLP) production, and genes for carotenoid biosynthesis.

Our aim is to describe the sphenoid drill out technique as a sphenoid salvage intervention and to outline its implications on clinical outcome and quality of life.
Methodology: 12 patients with chronic sphenoiditis undergoing a sphenoid drill out procedure were examined by nasal endoscopy preoperatively and postoperatively for one year.
