Genetic modification of microbes is central to many biotechnology fields, such as industrial microbiology, bioproduction, and drug discovery. Understanding how specific genetic modifications influence observable bacterial behaviors is crucial for advancing these fields. In this study, we propose a supervised model to classify bacteria harboring single gene modifications to draw connections between phenotype and genotype.

Article Synopsis
  • Lipoleiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that originates from mesenchymal and smooth muscle, and it's a specific subtype of liposarcoma found in the retroperitoneum, which is already a rare area for tumors.
  • A unique case of lipoleiomyosarcoma was reported, where it presented as a massive retroperitoneal mass measuring 50 × 50 × 30 cm, and was successfully treated with multi-visceral R0 resection.
  • The study recommends including lipoleiomyosarcoma in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal tumors and supports the effectiveness of R0 resection for improving patient prognosis.

Objective: Our goal was to assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) secukinumab for the treatment of adults with active axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in INVIGORATE-1.

Methods: INVIGORATE-1 (NCT04156620) was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, phase 3 trial in patients with active axSpA (either radiographic or nonradiographic). Patients were randomized one to one to receive IV secukinumab (6 mg/kg at baseline followed by 3 mg/kg every four weeks) or IV placebo for 16 weeks.

Background: In July 2011, Cystic Fibrosis (CF) was added to the Newborn Bloodspot Screening Programme in Ireland. The Irish Comparative Outcomes Study (ICOS) is a historical cohort study established to compare outcomes between clinically-detected and screen-detected children with CF. Here we present the results of economic analysis comparing direct healthcare costs in the first 2 years of life of children born between mid-2008 and mid-2016, in the pre-CF transmembrane conductance regulator modulator era.
