Sensitive, portable methods of detection for foodborne pathogens hold great significance for the early warning and prevention of foodborne diseases and environmental pollution. Restricted by a complicated matrix and limited signaling strategies, developing a ready-to-use sensing platform with ultrahigh sensitivity remains challenging. In this work, near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive AgBiS nanoflowers (NFs) and CuO nanocubes (NCs) were introduced to construct a novel target-induced photocurrent-polarity-switchable system and verified for the development of an all-in-one, ready-to-use photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor. NIR-responsive n-type AgBiS NFs and p-type CuO NCs producing anodic and cathodic photocurrents were conjugated with monoclonal (MAb) and polyclonal antibodies (PAb), respectively. Using a sandwich-type immunocomplex bridged by O157:H7, an efficient photocurrent-polarity-switching PEC system was formed on a paper-based working electrode (PWE). Owing to the spatial separation of the photogenerated carriers and the elimination of false-positive/negative signals by the polarity-switchable photocurrent, the proposed NIR PEC immunoassay for O157:H7 exhibits a considerably low detection limit of 8 colony-forming units/milliliter (CFU/mL) with a linear range from 25 to 5 × 10 CFU/mL. The platform includes a PWE with an automatic cleaning function and a portable PEC analyzer with smartphone-compatible Bluetooth capability, thus achieving point-of-care testing of O157:H7. The sensor was applied to the analysis of pork samples artificially contaminated with O157:H7, and the detection results were in good agreement with the plate counting method, a gold standard in the field. This work aimed to investigate the photoelectric activity of the NIR-responsive p/n-type composites and to provide a new signal-reversal route for the construction of an all-in-one ready-to-use PEC immunosensor for the detection of low-concentration biomolecules.

Background: Microlab Salmonella is an all-in-one solution for detection of Salmonella O Groups A-E that integrates, in a single disposable device, all elements to perform the analysis: a ready-to-use enrichment broth, a lateral flow immunochromatography test, and a chemical agent for bacterial inactivation. Microlab Salmonella can be easily used on-site and does not require specific laboratory equipment or technical skills. The device is sealed during the analysis, avoiding risks of contamination, and is therefore safe to use in food production environments.

Background: Machine learning and artificial intelligence have shown promising results in many areas and are driven by the increasing amount of available data. However, these data are often distributed across different institutions and cannot be easily shared owing to strict privacy regulations. Federated learning (FL) allows the training of distributed machine learning models without sharing sensitive data.

Parenteral nutrition has become a routine clinical nutritional treatment. The guidelines at home and abroad unanimously recommend and standardize the application of "all in one" parenteral nutrition."Multi-chamber bag" parenteral nutrition encapsulates nutrients such as fat emulsion, amino acid and glucose in a non polyvinyl chloride soft bag composed of two or three cavities.

Unsafe medication practices and medication errors are leading causes of injury and avoidable harm worldwide and are highest in vulnerable groups. In 2017, the World Health Organization launched the third Medication Without Harm Global Patient Safety Challenge to try to reduce risks related to medical treatment. Parenteral nutrition (PN) is in the unique position that, although licensed products are available from manufacturers, formulas may be prepared ad hoc for first-line use that might not be subject to the same regulatory oversight.
