Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of buprenorphine (BTP) and ketoprofen (KTP) transdermal patches for managing post-operative pain specifically after total knee replacement surgeries, using 100 patients divided into two treatment groups.
  • Results show that the BTP group experienced significantly lower pain scores at rest on days 2 to 5 post-surgery, indicating better pain management, while the KTP group required more rescue pain relief.
  • Overall, buprenorphine patches appear to provide superior pain relief and higher patient satisfaction without significant side effects compared to ketoprofen in the early post-operative period.

Article Synopsis
  • Microbial interactions in ecosystems are heavily influenced by exopolysaccharides (EPSs), which are substances produced by microorganisms that play key roles in communication and cooperative behaviors.
  • EPSs function as signaling molecules that facilitate chemical communication among microbes and enable them to assess population density through a process called quorum sensing (QS).
  • This review highlights the importance of EPS in shaping microbial communities, affecting how they organize, stick together, and withstand environmental challenges, offering essential insights for future research in microbial ecology and its applications in various fields.

The production of recombinant proteins has become a focal point in biotechnology, with potential applications in catalysis, therapeutics, and diagnostics. Before their application, these proteins undergo cumbersome downstream processing, including multiple resin-based chromatography steps (ion exchange or affinity-based) to isolate the protein of interest from host cell proteins, which are more abundant. These methods often involve (1) nonspecific binding of host cell proteins onto the resin, (2) a trial and error approach in determining elution conditions for the protein of interest, and (3) complex functionalization of the resin.
