Lack of functional polyester-biodegrading potential in marine versus terrestrial environments evidenced by an innovative airbrushing technique.

Biodegradable plastics, primarily aliphatic polyesters, degrade to varying extents in different environments. However, the absence of easily implementable techniques for screening microbial biodegradation potential -coupled with the limitations of non-functional omics analyses- has restricted comparative studies across diverse polymer types and ecosystems. In this study, we optimized a novel airbrushing method that facilitates functional analyses by simplifying the preparation of polyester-coated plates for biodegradation screening.

Wellness and Session Rating of Perceived Exertion in Professional Basketball Players Within Different Weekly Contexts.

Molina, R, Lapresa, D, Arana, J, Álvarez, I, and Salazar, H. Wellness and session rating of perceived exertion in professional basketball players within different weekly contexts. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2024-The objective of this article was to analyze the level of well-being-through the wellness questionnaire-and the training load-based on the session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE)-in professional basketball players within different weekly contexts during the season 2020/2021.

Characterization of thrombosis risk in ambulatory patients with cancer: results of the observational, prospective, multicenter CARTAGO study.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the leading causes of death in patients with cancer. Currently, there is a need to develop an easily applicable risk model that can identify patients who will benefit from receiving primary thromboprophylaxis to reduce the incidence of VTE.

Patients And Methods: This was a non-interventional, multicenter, observational, prospective study carried out in 62 Oncology and Hematology services in Spain and Portugal between January 2018 and December 2019.

Immunoinformatic design of a multivalent vaccine against and its evaluation in a murine model using a DNA prime-protein boost strategy.

Introduction: The development of effective vaccines against is critical due to its significant impact on human and animal health. The objective of this study was to design and evaluate and a multivalent vaccine based on the immunogenic potential of three selected open reading frames (ORFs) of .

Methods: The designed construct, named S22, was analyzed to evaluate its physicochemical properties, antigenicity, allergenicity and toxicity.

Examining the Role of Medical School Faculty in Developing Students' Cultural Humility Skills: Insights From a Single-Center Multimethod Study.

Background: While the Liaison Committee on Medical Education emphasizes the teaching of cultural competence in medical education, the concept of cultural humility, focusing on self-reflection and lifelong learning, has been proposed as a more effective approach. Although there have been numerous discussions on both topics, understanding how faculty in clinical settings help students develop cultural humility skills remains limited.

Objective: Our multimethod study utilized a survey and semi-structured interviews to identify strategies that faculty at one institution use to help students develop cultural humility skills.
