A set of bioluminescent tests was developed to monitor water quality in natural and laboratory ecosystems. It consisted of four bioluminescent systems: luminous bacteria, coupled enzyme system NADH:FMN-oxidoreductase-luciferase and triplet enzyme systems with alcohol dehydrogenase and trypsin. The set of biotests was applied for a small forest pond (Siberia, Russia), laboratory microecosystems polluted with benzoquinone and a batch culture of blue-green algae. Thereby effects of natural water compared to those of models of heavy pollution and "bloom" of blue-greens on the bioluminescent tests were revealed. The set of biotests was not affected by a natural seasonal variability of water quality in the unpolluted pond, but responded to the heavy pollution and the "bloom" of blue-greens. The set of biotests could be recommended as the alarm test to control the acute toxicity of natural water bodies.

Recommendations for Transitioning Young People with Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders and Autoinflammatory Diseases to Adult Care.
J Clin Immunol
December 2024
Department of Immunology, Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK.
Purpose: Significant improvements in the prognosis for young patients with Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases (PID) and Autoinflammatory Disorders (AID), which together make up the majority of Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI), have resulted in the need for optimisation of transition and transfer of care to adult services. Effective transition is crucial to improve health outcomes and treatment compliance among patients. Evaluations of existing transition programmes in European health centres identified the absence of disease-specific transition guidelines for PID and AID, as a challenge to the transition process.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists are studying how well AI can help find melanoma, a serious skin cancer, by testing it against dermatologists using a wide variety of skin images from different hospitals.
- They found out that the AI was better at catching melanoma early compared to the dermatologists, which could help patients get treated faster.
- The researchers think that using AI could be a great tool for doctors, especially for tricky cases of skin cancer.

Article Synopsis
- * A working group has developed new consensus recommendations for CMV management in SOT recipients, integrating recent advancements in cell-mediated immunity monitoring.
- * These recommendations were rated for their evidence strength and quality using the GRADE system and were formally endorsed by a consensus meeting of experts.
Purpose: Advances in surgical procedures and immunosuppressive therapies have considerably improved the outcomes of patients who have undergone liver transplantation in the past few decades. In 2020, the Italian Liver Transplant Working Group published practice-oriented algorithms for immunosuppressive therapy (IT) in adult liver transplant (LT) recipients. Due to the rapidly evolving LT field, regular updates to the recommendations are required.

J AOAC Int
November 2024
BIOLAN Microbiosensores S.L., Parque Tecnológico de Bizkaia, Laida Bidea 409, 48170 Zamudio, Bizkaia, Spain.
Background: In December 2021, the BIOFISH 300 SUL method for the determination of total sulfites in shrimp was adopted as a First Action Official Method of AnalysisSM by the AOAC INTERNATIONAL.
Objective: A collaborative study was conducted in February 2023 in order to test the reproducibility of the method.
Methods: The method is based on the use of a benchtop biosensor device that relates the concentration of sulfite to a quantifiable electric current signal.
