Extending digital biology: Bacterial survival and morphological heterogeneity under antibiotic stress.

Summary Bacterial morphology is modified by antibiotic stress depending on the antibiotic mechanism of action, while changes in morphology can contribute to cell survival. Here we present a workflow that generates morphological signatures for the progeny of individual bacterial cells across 168 antibiotic conditions. The workflow uses stationary microfluidic droplets to encapsulate and grow bacteria and confocal microscopy to image the droplet content. A custom image analysis pipeline labels mo...

Bitter taste receptors are involved in asthma relieved by aspirin: A hypothesis.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) typically do not affect asthma symptoms in most people. However, there are unique subgroups of patients whose responses to NSAIDs diverge considerably from the norm. Among these individuals, some experience an exacerbation of their asthma – commonly identified as aspirin- or NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD and N-ERD, respectively). In contrast, others exhibit a remarkable improvement in their asthma symptoms following the administration o...

Frequencies of thyroid-related diagnoses and dyslipidemia among Japanese women with menstrual-related disorders aged under 40 years: A nationwide cross-sectional study using health insurance claims data

Women with endometriosis and dysmenorrhea are increasingly recognized as having systemic comorbidities beyond pelvic disease, but large-scale data on endocrine and metabolic comorbidities across a broad menstrual-related disorders population remain limited. Using the Japan Medical Data Center Claims Database, we conducted a nationwide cross-sectional study of women aged under 40 years enrolled in 2023. Women with confirmed diagnoses of endometriosis (ICD-10: N80) and/or dysmenorrhea (N94.4 or N9...

Pregnant women’s health beliefs about pre-eclampsia in a resource-limited setting: A qualitative study

Introduction: Pre-eclampsia, a high-risk pregnancy complication, poses significant threats to maternal and fetal health. Globally, little is known about how women navigate a pre-eclampsia diagnosis or their perceptions of the pathology, unpredictable course, and treatment. Guided by the Health Belief model, this study explores pregnant women’s beliefs about pre-eclampsia in Ghana’s most populous region. Materials and methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted at a district hospital i...

Changes in postnatal outcomes following implementation of a family-led postnatal care model: A pre-post intervention study in Ada’a District, Ethiopia

Postnatal care is crucial for assessing the health of both mother and newborn, yet its coverage remains low in Ethiopia. Timely, high-quality postnatal care, especially within the first week after birth, is essential to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates. Family-led postnatal care is an innovative model for reaching postnatal mothers and newborns during the first week of life. Leveraging self-care principles, mothers, with the support from family, perform daily postnatal health checks...

High-intensity interval versus moderate-intensity continuous freestyle swimming in obese college students: A randomized controlled study protocol examining glycolipid and vascular endothelial responses

Background: Obesity among college students may be accompanied by early metabolic and endothelial abnormalities before overt cardiometabolic disease develops. Freestyle swimming combines whole-body energy expenditure with low weight-bearing load. This randomized controlled trial will compare high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) freestyle swimming and examine the relationships between changes in glycolipid markers and vascular endothelial marker...
