Temperate phage-antibiotic synergy is widespread-extending to -but varies by phage, host strain, and antibiotic pairing.

Unlabelled: Bacteriophages (phages) are bacterial-specific viruses that can be used alone or with antibiotics to reduce bacterial load. Most phages are unsuitable for therapy because they are "temperate" and can integrate into the host genome, forming a lysogen that is protected from subsequent phage infections. However, integrated phages can be awakened by stressors such as antibiotics.

Exploring the lived experiences of deep vein thrombosis patients in Lahore, Pakistan: a qualitative phenomenological study on healthcare challenges, resilience and social support.

Objective: This study aimed to explore and describe the lived psychological and emotional experiences of sufferers of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and to narrate the effect of those experiences on their daily lives.

Design, Setting And Participants: For data collection, a phenomenological qualitative design was used using semistructured, in-depth interviews of patients with DVT aged 18-70 years. Data were transcribed and analysed using the interpretative inductive approach to identify emergent themes.

Effects of adverse childhood experiences on university students' ability to lead healthy lives: an exploratory qualitative study in Lahore, Pakistan.

Background: Adverse Childhood Experiences are a significant global public health concern as these experiences have adverse effects on all the health determinants.

Methods: The interpretive phenomenological research design was used to explore the implications of adverse childhood experiences on the adult life of university students. An interpretive thematic analysis method was employed to analyze this study.

Methods to achieve tissue-mimetic physicochemical properties in hydrogels for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

Hydrogels are water-swollen polymeric matrices with properties that are remarkably similar in function to the extracellular matrix. For example, the polymer matrix provides structural support and adhesion sites for cells in much of the same way as the fibers of the extracellular matrix. In addition, depending on the polymer used, bioactive sites on the polymer may provide signals to initiate certain cell behavior.

Perceived stigma, discrimination and psychological problems among patients with epilepsy.

Objective: The current study sought to investigate the effects of perceived stigma and discrimination on epilepsy patients' psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, and quality of life.

Study Design: A purposive sampling technique was used in this cross-sectional study.

Materials And Methods: The sample consisted of 186 patients with epilepsy.

Bringing resistance modulation to epidemic methicillin resistant S. aureus of dairy through antibiotics coupled metallic oxide nanoparticles.

The current study probed methicillin resistant S. aureus from milk of different dairy farms along with its response to multiple antibiotics, assessment of risk factors, and response to antibiotic coupled nanoparticle. XRD of Np was confirmed as miller indices (hkl) values i.

Temperate phage-antibiotic synergy eradicates bacteria through depletion of lysogens.

There is renewed interest in bacterial viruses (phages) as alternatives to antibiotics. All phage treatments to date have used virulent phages rather than temperate ones, as these can integrate into the genome of the bacterial host and lie dormant. However, temperate phages are abundant and easier to isolate.
