Psychological researchers and practitioners collect increasingly complex time series data aimed at identifying differences between the developments of participants or patients. Past research has proposed a number of dynamic measures that describe meaningful developmental patterns for psychological data (e.g.

- Bacteria can host foreign genetic elements like plasmids and bacteriophages, which were once thought to be separate but now show significant interaction.
- Phage-plasmids (P-Ps) have unique functions, acting as both plasmids that exist independently and phages that can infect and destroy bacteria, allowing for the spread of genetic traits such as antibiotic resistance.
- The review highlights the need for more research on the ecological roles and prevalence of P-Ps in microbial communities, despite existing studies on their characteristics and functions.
Background: Achieving competence in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) requires extensive training. Recognizing the potential of simulator-based education for safe and effective skill development, we aimed to assess whether initial training with the Boškoski-Costamagna ERCP Trainer (BCT) is beneficial compared with conventional training alone (i.e.

A prime example of immunotherapies are cytokines - small immunomodulatory molecules that are widely used to stimulate immune cells. Undirected administration of cytokines, however, can cause severe side effects, preventing the use of potent cytokines, such as Interleukin (IL)-12, which induces IFNγ responses by cytotoxic effector lymphocytes, including NK cells.
