Several professional groups, which are not health professionals, are more likely to witness situations requiring basic life support (BLS) due to the nature of their job. The aim of this study was to assess BLS learning after 150 min of training in undergraduate students of sports science and their retention after eight months. Participants trained on BLS (150-min session: 30 theory, 120 practice). After training (T1) and after 8 months (T2), we evaluated their performance of the BLS sequence and two minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). At T1, the 23 participants presented a mean score of 72.5 ± 21.0% in the quality of the CPRs (compressions: 78.6 ± 25.9%, ventilation: 69.9 ± 30.1%). More than 90% of the participants acted correctly in each step of the BLS sequence. At T2, although the overall quality of the CPR performed did not decrease, significant decreases were observed for: correct hand position (T1: 98.2 ± 8.8, T2: 77.2 ± 39.7%), compression depth (T1: 51.4 ± 7.9, T2: 56.0 ± 5.7 mm), and compression rate. They worsened opening the airway and checking for breathing. In conclusions, participants learned BLS and good-quality CPR after the 150-min training session. At eight months they had good retention of the BLS sequence and CPR skills. Training on airway management and the position of the hands during CPR should be reinforced.

Integrons mediate the acquisition and expression of gene cassettes (GCs). The production of beta-lactamases (BLs) is the most relevant mechanism of beta-lactams resistance. To explore the role of integrons in BL genes dissemination, we retrieved sequences and metadata from the INTEGRALL database and performed literature review.

Pseudosymmetric hetero-oligomers with three or more unique subunits with overall structural (but not sequence) symmetry play key roles in biology, and systematic approaches for generating such proteins de novo would provide new routes to controlling cell signaling and designing complex protein materials. However, the de novo design of protein hetero-oligomers with three or more distinct chains with nearly identical structures is a challenging unsolved problem because it requires the accurate design of multiple protein-protein interfaces simultaneously. Here, we describe a divide-and-conquer approach that breaks the multiple-interface design challenge into a set of more tractable symmetric single-interface redesign tasks, followed by structural recombination of the validated homo-oligomers into pseudosymmetric hetero-oligomers.

Motor imagery electroencephalography (MI-EEG) is usually used as a driving signal in neuro-rehabilitation systems, and its feature space varies with the recovery progress. It is required to endow the recognition model with continuous learning and self-updating capability. Broad learning system (BLS) can be remodeled in an efficient incremental learning way.

Article Synopsis
- Lettuce, a cool-season crop from the Asteraceae family, was affected by a leaf disease in Beijing, China, showing dark lesions and a disease incidence of 10-40%.
- Infected leaves exhibited translucent spots that developed into large necrotic areas, prompting a series of tests on bacteria isolated from the samples.
- Pathogenicity tests on lettuce confirmed the disease symptoms within 7-10 days after exposure to specific bacterial isolates, which were then analyzed genetically to determine their identity.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different doses of radiotherapy (RT) affect the tumor immune environment and explores a strategy that combines low dose RT (LDRT) with high dose RT (HDRT) to enhance anti-tumor responses.
- Researchers conducted experiments on colorectal and breast cancer models in mice, finding that a technique called partial irradiation (PI) improved tumor control when paired with an immune treatment (anti-PD1).
- Results showed that PI reshaped immune cells in the tumor, increasing their ability to fight cancer, while also suggesting that adding a certain drug (CXCR2 antagonist) alongside RT and immunotherapy can enhance tumor control and survival rates.
