    Abstract The health benefits of fruit, vegetables and dietary fibre have been promoted for many years. Much of the supporting evidence is circumstantial or even contradictory and mechanisms underlying health benefits of specific foods are poorly understood. Colorectal cancer shows marked geographical differences in incidence, probably linked with diet, and explanations for this require knowledge of the complex interactions between diet, microbiota and the gut epithelium. Dietary fibres can act as prebiotics, encouraging growth of saccharolytic bacteria, but other mechanisms are also important. Some but not all soluble fibres have a 'contrabiotic' effect inhibiting bacterial adherence to the epithelium. This is particularly a property of pectins (galacturonans) whereas dietary fructans, previously regarded as beneficial prebiotics, can have a proinflammatory effect mediated via toxic effects of high butyrate concentrations. This also suggests that ulcerative colitis could in part result from potentially toxic faecal butyrate concentrations in the presence of a damaged mucus layer. Epithelial adherence of lectins, either dietary lectins as found in legumes, or bacterial lectins such as the galactose-binding lectin expressed by colon cancer-associated Fusobacterium nucleatum, may also be important and could be inhibitable by specific dietary glycans. Conversely, emulsifiers in processed foods may increase bacterial translocation and alter the microbiota thus promoting inflammation or cancer. Focusing on one condition is of limited value although in developing public health messages and growing evidence for impacts of dietary components on all-cause mortality is gaining more attention. We are only just starting to understand the complex interactions between food, the microbiota and health.

    Abstract Introduction: With the flood of engineered antibodies, there is a heightened need to elucidate the structural features of antibodies that contribute to specificity, stability, and breadth. While antibody flexibility and interface angle have begun to be explored, design rules have yet to emerge, as their impact on the metrics above remains unclear. Furthermore, the purpose of framework mutations in mature antibodies is highly convoluted.
    Methods: To this end, a case study utilizing molecular dynamics simulations was undertaken to determine the impact framework mutations have on the VH-VL interface. We further sought to elucidate the governing mechanisms by which changes in the VH-VL interface angle impact structural elements of mature antibodies by looking at root mean squared deviations, root mean squared fluctuations, and solvent accessible surface area.
    Results and discussion: Overall, our results suggest framework mutations can significantly shift the distribution of VH-VL interface angles, which leads to local changes in antibody flexibility through local changes in the solvent accessible surface area. The data presented herein highlights the need to reject the dogma of static antibody crystal structures and exemplifies the dynamic nature of these proteins in solution. Findings from this work further demonstrate the importance of framework mutations on antibody structure and lay the foundation for establishing design principles to create antibodies with increased specificity, stability, and breadth.

    Abstract The declining cost of performing bacterial whole-genome sequencing (WGS) coupled with the availability of large libraries of sequence data for well-characterized isolates have enabled the application of machine-learning (ML) methods to the development of nonlinear sequence-based predictive models.

    Abstract Background: Diagnostic dilemma exists in differentiating between neck and shoulder pathology, as both can give a rise to shoulder and arm symptoms. In addition, the hypersensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans may wrongly highlight non-clinically significant changes as potential targets for surgical intervention. The arm- squeeze test is a recognised recognized method used to help differentiate pathology arising from the shoulder or the neck. Performing this test preoperatively may prevent needless surgical intervention when diagnostic difficulties exist, even when MRI scans are not helpful.
    Case presentation: We report the case of a 41-year-old male who initially presented with numbness and pins and needles in both arms. Following clinical review and an MRI scan of the cervical spine, the patient underwent an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion. Unfortunately, there was no relief of symptoms following surgery. A post- operative clinical review identified the shoulder as a potential cause of the symptoms.
    Conclusion: The arm- squeeze test is not popular and is not routinely used in shoulder and cervical spine examinations. However, it is recommended by National Institute for health and care excellence to help differentiate between neck and shoulder pathology, and, hence, dissemination of this information is vital.
