- The study examines the variety of halophilic archaea in the geothermal waters of southern Tunisia, important for irrigation in arid regions.
- Three types of samples—water, sediment, and halite-soil crust—were collected from two geothermal springs and analyzed using advanced DNA sequencing techniques.
- Results indicated a shared presence of 20 out of 33 genera between the sources, with unique genera identified, suggesting these organisms can thrive in fluctuating conditions away from geothermal sites.
This article evaluates the current gaps around the impact of post-manufacturing processes on the product qualities of protein-based biologics, with a focus on user centricity. It includes the evaluation of the regulatory guidance available, describes a collection of scientific literature and case studies to showcase the impact of post-manufacturing stresses on product and dosing solution quality. It also outlines the complexity of clinical handling and the need for communication, and alignment between drug providers, healthcare professionals, users, and patients.

To counteract obesity-associated disorders, bariatric surgery is implemented as a very effective method. However, surgery such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is irreversible, resulting in life-long changes to the digestive tract.

- A study compared the prevalence and distribution of pressure injuries (PIs) in COVID-19 patients using two prone positioning methods: "Face Down" and "Swimmers Position."
- Results showed that 76% of patients in the Face Down group developed at least one PI, significantly higher than the 45% in the Swimmers Position group.
- The findings suggest that the Swimmers Position leads to fewer pressure injuries and supports updated clinical guidelines favoring this approach for mechanically ventilated patients.
