The impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on longitudinal trends of surgical mortality and inpatient quality of care in Ontario, Canada

Journal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7556-7570, November 2025.
Abstract Aims Previous studies have shown the COVID‐19 pandemic was associated with reductions in volume across a spectrum of non‐SARS‐CoV‐2 hospitalizations. In the present study, we examine the impact of the pandemic on patient safety and quality of care. Design This is a retrospective population‐based study of discharge abstracts. Methods We applied

Whole genome sequence analysis reveals limited diversity among Clostridioides difficile ribotype 027 and 078 isolates collected in 22 hospitals in Berlin and Brandenburg, Germany

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control
Background Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI) present significant health risks and are among the most important nosocomial infections. Ribotype (RT) 027 poses a particular risk due to its proposed “hypervirulence”. Traditionally, C.

The Effect of Climate Change on Emergence and Evolution of Zoonotic Diseases in Asia

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 587-611, November 2025.
ABSTRACT As the climate of Asia changes under the influence of global warming, the incidence and spatial distribution of known zoonoses will evolve, and new zoonoses are expected to emerge as a result of greater exposure to organisms which currently occur only in wildlife.

Quantification of Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile in feces of calves of different age and determination of predominant Clostridioides difficile ribotype 033 relatedness and transmission between family dairy farms using multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis

BMC Veterinary Research, 2018
Background Community acquired Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile infection (CA-CDI) is a significant health problem in human and veterinary medicine. Animals are often considered as potential reservoirs for CA-CDI.

Commensal Viruses Promote Intestinal Stem Cell Regeneration Following Radiation Damage by Inhibiting Hyperactivation of RIG‐I and Notch Signals

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
Ionizing radiation disrupts gut virome and bacteriome. Gut commensal viruses protect against intestinal damage and promote stem cell regeneration by inhibiting hyperactivation of RIG‐I and Notch signaling in stem cells. Fecal virome transplantation (FVT) from healthy donors can serve as a potential therapeutic intervention by enriching phages targeting

Half‐Pipe Melt Electrowritten Scaffolds Support Engineering of an Immunocompetent Hydrogel‐Embedded Intestine‐on‐a‐Chip

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
The immunocompetent Intestine‐on‐a‐Chip (IoC) is developed using melt electrowritten (MEW) half‐pipes. Intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) culture is optimized in the MEW‐based IoC, followed by co‐culture with monocyte‐derived dendritic cells (moDCs) and T cells in 3D hydrogels.

Targeting gut microbiota and metabolites in cancer radiotherapy

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Radiotherapy (RT) efficacy and toxicity are influenced by gut microbiota and their metabolites. This review explores how probiotics, prebiotics, and microbial byproducts (e.g., short‐chain fatty acids [SCFAs]) mitigate radiation damage and enhance tumour radiosensitivity.

Phenotypic and Genetic Characterization and Production Abilities of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Strain 484—A New Probiotic Strain Isolated From Human Breast Milk

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
Human breast milk (HBM) is a recognized source of probiotic bacteria, with species such as Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus demonstrating considerable potential for applications in both the medical and food industries. In this study, the probiotic potential of strain 484, isolated from HBM, was evaluated through comprehensive phenotypic and genetic ...
