Phosphorus (P) is pivotal for all organisms, yet its availability is, particularly in the marine habitat, limited. Natural, puff-shaped colonies of Trichodesmium, a genus of diazotrophic cyanobacteria abundant in the Red Sea, have been demonstrated to capture and centre dust particles. While this particle mining strategy is considered to help evade nutrient limitation, details behind the mechanism remain elusive.

The current study emphasizes the antimicrobial resistance of three isolated bacteria, closely related to , , and , associated with red spotting in the cultured sea urchin . In vitro trials examined the susceptibility of these bacterial isolates to various antibiotics.

Background/objectives: Surgical deroofing is an essential part of ongoing management of Hidradenitis Suppurativa, including persistent lesions non-responsive to medical therapy. The variables associated with delayed wound healing after surgical deroofing are contradictory within the literature due to the inclusion of heterogeneous surgical intervention methods. We aimed to assess the predictors of time to wound healing after surgical deroofing in HS.

Article Synopsis
- Caucasian and Asian patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) show notable differences in demographics such as age, gender, and body mass index (BMI), which may affect the effectiveness of treatments including biologics.
- A study involving 170 patients in Australia found that Asian patients had lower BMI and higher disease severity, but both ethnic groups had similar treatment responses at Week 16.
- Ultimately, the study concluded that ethnicity does not impact the effectiveness of the biologic drug adalimumab for HS when factoring in demographics and disease characteristics.
