Raman-Enabled Predictions of Protein Content and Metabolites in Biopharmaceutical Fermentations.

Raman spectroscopy, a robust and non-invasive analytical method, has demonstrated significant potential for monitoring biopharmaceutical production processes. Its ability to provide detailed information about molecular vibrations makes it ideal for the detection and quantification of therapeutic proteins and critical control parameters in complex biopharmaceutical mixtures. However, its application in fermentations has been hindered by the inherent strong fluorescence background from the cells.

Beat the heat: wearable-based study of perceived heat stress and physiological strain in swiss track workers in a controlled climate chamber.

Increasing temperatures pose new challenges for track workers (TWs), who endure prolonged exposure to extreme heat and humidity. New methods are critically needed to assess their performance and heat tolerance, aiming to mitigate workplace accidents and long-term health consequences. This study aimed to investigate the physiological effects of heat exposure on TWs, using wearable sensors to monitor key physiological parameters under controlled environmental conditions.

The cost of not investing in the next 1000 days: implications for policy and practice.

Building on the evidence from the first paper in this Series highlighting the fundamental importance of healthy and nurturing environments for children's growth and development in the next 1000 days (ages 2-5 years), this paper summarises the benefits and costs of key strategies to support children's development in this age range. The next 1000 days build on the family-based and health-sector based interventions provided in the first 1000 days and require broader multisectoral programming. Interventions that have been shown to be particularly effective in this age range are the provision of early childhood care and education (ECCE), parenting interventions, and cash transfers.

Overlap syndrome of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and juvenile polyposis syndrome: ten years follow-up-case series and review of literature.

Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal vascular dysplasia characterized by the presence of mucocutaneous telangiectasia and arteriovenous malformations in solid organs. The Curaçao criteria and/or detection of ALK1, ENG, and SMAD4 gene mutations are used for diagnosis. Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome (JPS) is diagnosed according to the number and localization of juvenile polyps, and family history of JPS.
