Inactivation of enteritidis in liquid egg yolk and egg white using bacteriophage cocktails.

Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) is a significant global cause of foodborne illness, often linked to egg contamination. This study evaluated the inhibitory effects of eight bacteriophages (phages) against three SE strains isolated from poultry environments. The most effective phages were selected to formulate different phage cocktails, to enhance the efficacy and prolong inhibition.

Reduction of Nontyphoidal Salmonella enterica in Broth and on Raw Chicken Breast by a Broad-spectrum Bacteriophage Cocktail.

Globally, nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) causes approximately 150 million foodborne illnesses annually; many of which are linked to poultry products. Thus, improving food safety interventions in the poultry sector can reduce foodborne illness associated with prevalent NTS serotypes. Bacteriophages (phages) have shown promise as food-safe alternatives to current antimicrobial practices.

Sulforaphane has an additive anticancer effect to FOLFOX in highly metastatic human colon carcinoma cells.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Patients with CRC may need chemotherapy (CTx) in a neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative setting through the course of the disease. Unfortunately, its effect is limited by chemoresistance and chemotoxicity.

Detection of Critical Spinal Epidural Lesions on CT Using Machine Learning.

Background: Critical spinal epidural pathologies can cause paralysis or death if untreated. Although magnetic resonance imaging is the preferred modality for visualizing these pathologies, computed tomography (CT) occurs far more commonly than magnetic resonance imaging in the clinical setting.

Objective: A machine learning model was developed to screen for critical epidural lesions on CT images at a large-scale teleradiology practice.

[Which patient needs controls of laboratory values after elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy?-Can a score help?].

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is nearly exclusively carried out as an inpatient operation in Germany. The aim of the study was to evaluate for which patients postoperative laboratory control values are necessary.

Methods: This retrospective analysis included 100 patients who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
