Sports Orthopedics by Wippert P-M, 2, Puschmann A-K, Gantz S, Pfeifer A-C, de Witt Huberts J, Neubauer E, Riewe E, Schiltenwolf M

“…Relevant risk factors for the development of CLBP in athletes are pain experience and tolerance, stress, social and medical environment. However, as existing screening tools are not suitable for athletes, there is a need for indices that predict the risk of future back complaints and infer a stratified treatment allocation respecting the response to physical activity.The National Research Networkfor Medicine in Spine Exercise (MiSpEx) is aiming to fill that gap: a biopsychosocial diagnostic tool was developed which supports health care professionals to 1) predict the risk for pain chronicity, disability or extended absenteeism (risk-index, RSI), and 2) recommend a personalized treatment allocation to uni- or multimodal training (prevention-index, RPI-S). …”

Rapid serotype-independent differential detection of biofilm-positive and biofilm-negative Salmonella using Fourier transform infrared biotyping by Asmita Shrestha, Smriti Shringi, Devendra H. Shah

“…Foodborne illnesses caused by Salmonella represent a global one health challenge, with biofilm-forming strains exhibiting enhanced public health risks due to their ability to persist due to resistance to antimicrobial agents, disinfectants, and environmental stresses. While food-safety and public health investigation primarily focus on Salmonella identification and source tracing, they often overlook the biofilm-forming capacity of isolates, limiting their predictive value for risks posed by biofilm producing Salmonella. …”
