Laser-plasma acceleration of protons offers a compact, ultra-fast alternative to conventional acceleration techniques, and is being widely pursued for potential applications in medicine, industry and fundamental science. Creating a stable, collimated beam of protons at high repetition rates presents a key challenge. Here, we demonstrate the generation of multi-MeV proton beams from a fast-replenishing ambient-temperature liquid sheet.

This study investigates the diagnostic practices for mucormycosis among 30 French University Hospital mycology laboratories, in 2024. All laboratories perform both direct examination and culture, with fluorescent brighteners being the most commonly used method for direct examination. While 77 % of the participating laboratories routinely identify Mucorales to the species level, with 70 % having adopted Mucorales-specific quantitative PCR, primarily for the diagnosis of invasive fungal infections.

Bioethanol fermentation from lignocellulosic hydrolysates is negatively affected by the presence of acetic acid. The budding yeast adapts to acetic acid stress partly by activating the transcription factor, Haa1. Haa1 induces the expression of many genes, which are responsible for increased fitness in the presence of acetic acid.

Article Synopsis
  • Candida auris is a growing threat to healthcare facilities globally, necessitating systematic screening for patients from high-risk areas to prevent widespread outbreaks.
  • A study analyzing responses from 36 French mycologists found that only 30.6% were aware of any systematic screening protocols for C. auris in their hospitals.
  • Most post-admission screening focused on specific body sites, but only a small percentage utilized specialized testing methods, highlighting the need for increased awareness and better practices among healthcare professionals regarding systematic screening for this pathogen.

Purpose Of Review: Exercise training programs are an integral part of the management of solid organ transplantation (SOT) candidates and recipients. Despite this, they are not widely available and specific guidelines on exercise parameters for each type of organ are not currently provided. A review of this topic could help clinicians to prescribe appropriate exercise regimens for their patients.
