Aim: Comparing oral and gut microbiome profiles between patients with and without ulcerative mucositis during allogeneic stem cell transplantation (aSCT).
Materials And Methods: Specimens from oral mucosa, saliva, and stool were collected pre-(T0) and post- (T0 +28d ± 14d) aSCT (T1). Microbiome structure differences were analyzed by 16S-rRNA-gene sequencing, and associations to patients' clinical characteristics were investigated.
Animals within social groups respond to costs and benefits of sociality by adjusting the proportion of time they spend in close proximity to other individuals in the group (cohesion). Variation in cohesion between individuals, in turn, shapes important group-level processes such as subgroup formation and fission-fusion dynamics. Although critical to animal sociality, a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing cohesion remains a gap in our knowledge of cooperative behavior in animals.

- Adolescents with a history of conduct problems (CP) are more likely to use medical and psychiatric services, and this increase is linked to experiences of peer victimization and internalizing issues like anxiety and depression.
- The study analyzed data from 744 participants, assessing their CP history, service use, and related behaviors through questionnaires completed by themselves, their parents, and teachers.
- Results showed that peer victimization and internalizing problems play significant roles in the connection between CP and increased service use, and this impact is consistent across genders.
Article Synopsis
- - Cefiderocol is a new antibiotic effective against multidrug-resistant pathogens, showing potential against carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Cr-Pa) infections based on a study of 108 isolates.
- - Out of these isolates, nine displayed resistance with specific mutations linked to iron uptake systems and other resistance-related genes, while no correlation was found between carbapenemases and cefiderocol resistance.
- - The study indicates that while cefiderocol remains a viable treatment option, ongoing research is needed to understand the evolving resistance mechanisms and enhance strategies for managing antimicrobial resistance.
The obligate intracellular bacterial genus Chlamydia harbours species with zoonotic potential, particularly C. psittaci, causative agent of psittacosis, and C. abortus, which may lead to miscarriage in pregnant women.
