The 4-day working week is gaining interest, with international trials reporting enhanced staff wellbeing and performance, despite spending less time on the job. Here, we argue that improved performance on a 4-day working week arises through two psychological mechanisms of recovery and motivation: because better rested, better motivated brains, create better work.

Optimization of the preparation of a spiny spore high-concentrated Aspergillus brasiliensis suspension.
Lett Appl Microbiol
December 2024
Cantel Medical Italy, a STERIS Company, Via Laurentina, 169, 00071 Pomezia, Italy.
This work aimed to improve some steps of the existing guidelines of the European Standards to obtain an Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC 16404 spore suspension with >75% spiny spores without mycelia and a concentration of at least 1.5×108 CFU ml-1. Several manufacturers' combinations "strain/medium" were assessed in terms of yield of spiny spores.

The estrous cycle is a sensitive endpoint from an endocrine disruptor perspective and is included in rodent reproductive toxicity studies. In this paper, the methods for estrous cycle timing and different approaches followed by testing laboratories for evaluating the days of the estrous cycle were reviewed. No major differences are identified for counting 4-day estrous cycle.

The management of acute abscesses is a common problem that is faced by surgical departments around the world. Once the decision is made to proceed to surgical drainage, allocating patients to an operative list can lead to delays and unnecessary admission to hospital overnight. The British Association of Day Surgery recognises acute abscess as a condition that can be managed in Day Surgery Centres.

- Longer periods between headache episodes may allow the nervous system to recover better, possibly enhancing patients' quality of life and disease status.
- The study, PROMISE-2, analyzed data from over 1,000 chronic migraine patients to examine the relationship between the length of interictal periods (time between headaches) and various patient-reported health outcomes.
- Results showed that patients with interictal periods longer than 21 days reported significantly better improvements in headache impact, overall health status, and bothersome symptoms compared to those with shorter periods.
The role of lag phases between real-term marine heatwaves in the trait responses of two macrophyte species.
Mar Environ Res
December 2024
Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO-CSIC), Centro Oceanográfico de A Coruña, A Coruña, Spain. Electronic address:
Coastal marine macrophytes are critical ecosystem engineers providing valuable ecosystem services. However, they experience detrimental impacts from climate change-induced stresses such as marine heatwaves (MHW), which are becoming more intense and frequent. This study investigated trait responses in real-term heatwaves, Continuous (1MHW) and Consecutive (with a 4-day lag phase, 2MHW), on two key macrophytes, the seaweed Fucus vesiculosus and seagrass Zostera marina.
