Genomic analysis, culturing optimization, and characterization of bacteriophage OSYSP, previously studied as effective pathogen control on fresh produce.

Advances in bacteriophage genome sequencing and regulatory approvals of some bacteriophages in various applications have renewed interest in these antibacterial viruses as a potential solution to persistent food safety challenges. Here, we analyzed in depth the genome of the previously studied bacteriophage OSYSP (phage OSYSP), revealed its application-related characteristics, and optimized its enumeration techniques for facilitating industrial implementation. We previously sequenced phage OSYSP genome completely by combining results from Illumina Miseq and Ion Torrent sequencing platforms and completing the remaining sequence gaps using PCR.

Validity and reliability of the modified four square step test in total HIP arthroplasty.

Introduction: The Modified Four Square Step Test (mFSST) evaluates dynamic stabilization by using tape instead of canes to prevent people from tripping over obstacles and losing their balance. There was no study investigating reliability and validity in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to evaluate the test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and minimum detectable change in the mFSST for individuals with primary THA.

The determination of mastitis severity at 4-level using Milk physical properties: A deep learning approach via MLP and evaluation at different SCC thresholds.

Current research aims to generate an alternative model to classical methods in the determination of subclinical mastitis at 4 levels (healthy, suspicious, subclinical, and clinical). For this purpose, multilayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural networks (ANN) was developed as test model. 5 variables from the physical properties of milk somatic cell count (SCC), electrical conductivity (EC), pH, density, and temperature at fore milking (TFM) were included in the model in the classification of mastitis.

Validity and Reliability of the Pieper-Zulkowski Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test for Use in Turkey.

Objective: To assess the validity and reliability of the Pieper-Zulkowski Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test (PZ-PUKT) for use in Turkey.

Methods: This methodological study was carried out at a state hospital from June to November 2022. The authors used the PZ-PUKT and nurse identification form for data collection.
