Article Synopsis
  • Real-world organisms face multiple stressors simultaneously, but lab studies usually focus on single stressors in simplified conditions.
  • This study uses microfluidics to apply both physical (shear flow) and chemical (hydrogen peroxide) stressors to the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, revealing that flow significantly enhances the effectiveness of HO on bacterial growth.
  • The findings show that natural levels of these stressors interact in ways that limit bacterial movement and survival, emphasizing the importance of studying multiple stressors to better understand their true effects.

Background: Patients who undergo hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) require lower extremity immobilization for an extended period of time. Periods of immobilization combined with surgery have been associated with decreased muscle mass and bone mineral density (BMD).

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to characterize postoperative body composition and BMD changes after arthroscopy for FAI.

Background: Vaccine hesitancy is increasingly recognized as a health challenge affecting populations worldwide. Given the biological vulnerabilities and structural barriers people who use substances and/or have behavioral addictions face, this systematic review aims to evaluate whether this subpopulation is less prone to adhere to vaccination recommendations.

Methods: Electronic searches of published original research were conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and PsycINFO from database inception to December 2022.

Article Synopsis
  • Photosynthesis in the ocean is mainly done by tiny organisms called phytoplankton, and one important type is Synechococcus, which is a type of cyanobacterium.
  • Synechococcus can change its pigments to capture light better depending on whether the light is blue or green, a process known as Type 4 chromatic acclimation (CA4).
  • This CA4 process helps them thrive in different light conditions and is found in over 40% of Synechococcus in the ocean, especially in colder areas and deeper waters.
