Lactococcosis caused by is a bacterial infection affecting fish with a considerable economic impact. Recently, has established itself as an opportunistic pathogen in humans. The aim of the current study was to test classical and molecular-biological methods for the identification of and examine antimicrobial susceptibility and capsule production, an important virulence factor.

However, very few dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors with this building block are currently known. Here, the selection of a novel DPP-4 inhibitor based on the thienopyrimidine scaffold is reported.

Background: Wound healing is a complicated process that can be heavily influenced by patient comorbidities, in some cases leading to a chronic non-healing wound. Evidence presented in the medical literature supporting the clinical use of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in treatment of such wounds is becoming increasingly compelling. Mechanisms involved include complex interactions between the patient's thrombocytes, cytokines, and growth factors.

This scoping review aimed to map existing literature on mental health for young people with IDD during the post-school transition period including how IDD and mental health are characterised in this context and the extent to which community members with lived experience are included in the design and/or production of research. In collaboration with a co-researcher, we used the JBI framework and PRISMA guidelines in accordance with a published protocol.
