January in Australia conjures up images of lazy summer days at the beach, long warm evenings, and crisp cool summer salads, made from a bit of this and a bit of that... the wonderful whole so much more than the sum of the individual parts. So we thought for our summer issue of Australian Family Physician, we would toss together some of our best ingredients... a bit of this and a bit of that... to create a crisp, healthy, educational salad for your consuming pleasure.

Objective: Given the increasing significance of digital health literacy (DHL) and health literacy (HL) in promoting informed decision-making and healthy behaviors, this study aimed to assess the influence of self-reported HL and DHL on treatment adherence and quality of life among patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TUR-BT) for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
Materials & Methods: This single-center observational study involved patients who underwent TUR-BT for NIMBC at a tertiary hospital from May 2022 to February 2024. Before the procedure, the patients' DHL and HL were evaluated using the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire short version and the eHealth Literacy Scale.

Proteins are indispensable for maintaining a healthy diet and performing crucial functions in a multitude of physiological processes. The growth of the global population and the emergence of environmental concerns have significantly increased the demand for protein-rich foods such as meat and dairy products, exerting considerable pressure on global food supplies. Single-cell proteins (SCP) have emerged as a promising alternative source, characterized by their high protein content and essential amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, inorganic salts, vitamins, and trace elements.

Despite the high incidence of knee injuries reported in non-professional sports, the implementation of specific training programmes aimed at mitigating the kinematic and kinetic factors associated with these injuries remains limited. To determine the effects of a tailored exercise programme on kinematic and kinetic variables during side-cutting activities. Fifty-seven physically active participants were randomised into control group (CG; n: 28) that received no intervention, and an experimental group (EG; n: 29), that performed an individualised exercise programme that included a combination of strength, neuromuscular, proprioceptive, eccentric training and whole-body vibration (WBV) exercises.

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs associated with PIWI proteins within the male germline, and they play significant roles in maintaining genome stability via the modulation of gene expression. The piRNAs are implicated in the progression of various cancers, but the simultaneous monitoring of multiple piRNAs remains a challenge. Herein, we construct a single-molecule biosensor based on polymerization-transcription-mediated target regeneration for the simultaneous one-pot detection of multiple piRNAs.

Logical analysis of multiple-miRNA expression information and immediate output of diagnostic results facilitates early cancer detection. In this work, we constructed an isothermal molecular classifier capable of performing computations on multiple miRNAs and directly providing diagnosis results. First, we developed linear-after-the-exponential rolling circle amplification (LATE-RCA), a nearly linear isothermal amplification that does not destroy the original quantitative information about miRNAs.
