A GPVI signalling defect in newly formed platelets generated in stress thrombopoiesis.

Background: Newly produced platelets are thought to be more functional than their older counterparts. However, recent work suggests that murine platelets formed following immune thrombocytopenia possess a transient glycoprotein VI (GPVI) signalling defect.

Objectives: In this study we explored if other models of stress thrombopoiesis would generate platelets that display a functional defect.

Colonial architecture modulates the speed and efficiency of multi-jet swimming in salp colonies.

Salps are marine pelagic tunicates with a complex life cycle including a solitary and colonial stage. Salp colonies are composed of asexually budded individuals that coordinate their swimming by multi-jet propulsion. Colonies develop into species-specific architectures with distinct zooid orientations.

Strategies to promote the completion of patient-reported outcome measures by culturally and linguistically diverse and Indigenous Peoples in clinical care settings: A systematic review.

Purpose: There is evidence of low completion of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) by people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds and Indigenous Peoples with chronic health conditions. We aimed to systematically identify ways to support and promote PROM completion by CALD communities and Indigenous Peoples in clinical care settings.

Methods: We searched Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collections and CINAHL databases from 1 January 2000 to 19 September 2024.

Antimicrobial Effectiveness of Clove Oil in Decontamination of Ready-to-Eat Spinach ( L.).

Due to an increased demand for natural food additives, clove oil was assessed as a natural alternative to chemical disinfectants in produce washing. This study assessed the antimicrobial activity of 5 and 10% (/) clove oil-amended wash liquid (CO) using a zone of inhibition (ZIB) test and determined the time required to completely inactivate pathogenic bacteria using bacterial death curve analysis. A washing experiment was used to evaluate CO's ability to inhibit bacterial growth on inoculated RTE spinach and in the wash water.
