Women's experiences of living with adenomyosis and perceptions of the diagnostic journey: a scoping review.

Objectives: Uterine adenomyosis is a common gynaecological disease that can be debilitating. It is poorly understood and may be overlooked in clinical settings. A research gap exists as there are currently no published scoping reviews on perceptions and experiences early in the illness course.

Methylation of foreign DNA overcomes the restriction barrier of and allows efficient genetic manipulation.

Unlabelled: causes bacterial cold-water disease (BCWD) in salmonids and other fish, resulting in substantial economic losses in aquaculture worldwide. The mechanisms uses to cause disease are poorly understood. Despite considerable effort, most strains of have resisted attempts at genetic manipulation.

Development and evaluation of an implementation strategy to increase HPV vaccination among underserved youth across Texas: a protocol paper.

Background: All for Them is a theory-based and evidence-informed multilevel, multicomponent program delivered through schools to increase HPV vaccination among medically underserved youth across Texas. Given the potential logistical challenges of program implementation, understanding how to best support the implementation and sustainment of the program is critical. The overall goals of this study are twofold: 1) develop a multifaceted implementation strategy, Implementing All for Them (IM-AFT); and 2) evaluate the impact of IM-AFT on implementation outcomes for schools and healthcare providers to successfully implement All for Them in their respective settings.

Trained Immunity Enhances Host Resistance to Infection in Aged Mice.

Aging significantly increases the incidence and severity of infections, with individuals aged 65 and above accounting for 65% of sepsis cases. Innate immune training, known as "trained immunity" or "innate immune memory", has emerged as a potential strategy to enhance infection resistance by modulating the aging immune system. We investigated the impact of β-glucan-induced trained immunity on aged mice (18-20 months old) compared to young adult mice (10-12 weeks old).

Targeting quorum sensing for manipulation of commensal microbiota.

Bacteria communicate through the accumulation of autoinducer (AI) molecules that regulate gene expression at critical densities in a process called quorum sensing (QS). Extensive work using simple systems and single strains of bacteria have revealed a role for QS in the regulation of virulence factors and biofilm formation; however, less is known about QS dynamics among communities, especially in vivo. In this review, we summarize the diversity of QS signals as well as their ability to influence "non-target" behaviors among species that have receptors but not synthases for those signals.
