Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Impact of bariatric surgery on alcohol‐use disorder and alcohol‐related liver disease: A retrospective study

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Increased risk of alcohol dependence is recognised following bariatric surgery. Modified gastrointestinal anatomy and neurohormonal profiles lead to altered alcohol metabolism, peak blood alcohol concentrations and enhanced reward circuits and cravings.

Basophils in Immunity: Activation Pathways, Roles in Allergy and AllergoOncology and Application of the Basophil Activation Test

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basophils, the least abundant leukocytes, are increasingly recognised as potent immunomodulators. Upon activation, they rapidly release preformed granule‐associated mediators including histamine and lipid mediators such as LTC4, while cytokine production occurs over a longer timescale, contributing to downstream immune responses.

A Spotlight on Yolk‐sac Tumors: Molecular Pathology, Current Diagnostics, and Novel Therapeutics

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Yolk‐sac tumors are an aggressive subtype of testicular cancer that significantly contribute to disease progression and therapy resistance, especially in adults. While testicular cancer generally has high cure rates with cisplatin‐based treatment, adult yolk‐sac tumors often appear as components of mixed tumors with poor response to

Assessing Cognitive Workload and Performance in the Operating Room: Challenges in Applying NASA‐TLX Among Experienced Surgeons

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Surgical performance and cognitive workload (CWL) are central determinants of operative outcomes. Most prior studies have relied on simulated environments, limiting their clinical relevance. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA‐TLX) to ...
