Evaluation of single and multispecies biofilm formed in the static and continuous systems.

Biofilms consisting of multiple species of bacteria compared to biofilms of single species are common in natural environments including food contact surfaces. The objective of this study was to understand the biofilm formation and the efficiency of sodium hypochlorite (50 ppm/5 mins) on the single and multiple species biofilm of Pseudomonas fluorescens, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes formed on stainless steel surfaces in static and continuous systems. The cell concentration of Listeria in the dual and triple species biofilm in the continuous system (7.

The protein composition of human adenovirus replication compartments.

Human adenoviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses that replicate in the cell nucleus and induce the formation of replication compartments (RCs) that are critical in viral replication and control of virus-host interactions. RCs are specialized virus-induced subnuclear microenvironments where not only viral genome replication and expression are orchestrated but also host proteins that restrict viral replication are co-opted and subverted. The protein composition of these RCs remains largely unexplored.

A Core set of patient-reported outcome measures to measure quality of life in obesity treatment research.

The lack of standardization in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) has made measurement and comparison of quality of life (QoL) outcomes in research focused on obesity treatment challenging. This study reports on the results of the second and third global multidisciplinary Standardizing Quality of life measures in Obesity Treatment (S.Q.

Comparing the effects of time-restricted eating on glycaemic control in people with type 2 diabetes with standard dietetic practice: A randomised controlled trial.

Aims: To test the efficacy of time-restricted eating (TRE) in comparison to dietitian-led individualised dietary guidance to improve HbA1c in people with Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: In a parallel groups design, 51 adults (35-65 y) with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and overweight/obesity (HbA1c ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol), BMI ≥25-≤40 kg/m) commenced a six-month intervention.
