Background: European health care systems regard information and communication technology as a necessity in supporting future health care provision by community home care services to home-dwelling older adults. Communication technology enabling synchronous communication between 2 or more human actors at a distance constitutes a significant component of this ambition, but few reviews have synthesized research relating to this particular type of technology. As evaluations of information and communication technology in health care services favor measurements of effectiveness over the experiences and dynamics of putting these technologies into use, the nuances involved in technology implementation processes are often omitted.

Here we explore whether this phenomenon can be harnessed to obtain riboflavin overproducing mutants. Using a riboflavin auxotrophic strain as a riboflavin biosensor, we screened cultures that had been exposed to temperature induced oxidative stress for up to one year.

- Influenza A virus (IAV) is a pathogen found in water birds like gulls and can infect humans and livestock; this study investigates IAV prevalence in ring-billed and Franklin's gulls over a year.
- The research involved testing over 1500 gulls for viral RNA and about 1000 for antibodies, revealing significant differences in infection rates based on age and species and a notable disconnect between virus presence and antibody levels.
- Findings underscore the importance of serological surveillance, which helps track past infections and future susceptibility, guiding resource allocation for monitoring this significant disease affecting humans and animals.
Background And Objective: To diagnose tuberculosis infection (TBI), whole blood is incubated with M.tuberculosis (Mtb)-specific peptides and the release of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is measured in IFN-γ-release assays (IGRAs). Hyperglycaemia and fluctuations in blood glucose may modulate IFN-γ-release.

To examine clinical significance, species distribution, and temporal trends of NTM in Denmark, we performed a nationwide register-based study of all unique persons with NTM isolated in the country during 1991-2022. We categorized patients as having definite disease, possible disease, or isolation by using a previously validated method.
