Article Synopsis
- Alternative irrigation waters can contain harmful bacterial foodborne pathogens that may contaminate fruits and vegetables, making detection crucial for food safety.
- A study compared qPCR (real-time PCR) with traditional culture methods for identifying these pathogens, examining factors like water type, season, and sample volume over two years across multiple sites.
- The findings revealed that qPCR detection had reasonable predictive values, with better agreement observed in spring and summer, particularly in reclaimed and pond water compared to river water, indicating water type influences detection accuracy.
Background: There have been many research trials of various digital therapeutics, but few real world evaluations of their efficacy. This type of data, however, can provide a more rounded understanding of their impact, utility, reach, and adoption. Findings presented here focus on outcome and patient engagement data of SHUTi (Sleep Health Using the Internet), a digital therapeutic delivering Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), in a large real-world dataset of adults with insomnia.
