Screening, treatment and vaccination programmes exist within prisons to reduce the incidence of hepatitis, although lower uptake has often been reported compared to similar programmes outside of prisons.

- The study investigates the effectiveness of probiotics during and after colorectal surgery, focusing on immune function and infection rates.

This study aimed to determine the impact of a novel formulation of a supplement composed of the natural ingredients, bromelain, quercetin, and , on the gut microbiota of healthy adult dogs. Adult healthy female dogs were administered either a placebo (CTR, = 15) or the supplement (TRT, = 15) over 28 days. Stool samples were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing before supplement administration (T0), at completion of supplement administration (T28), and one week after the end of supplement administration (T35) to characterize changes in the gut microbial communities.
