    Abstract Treatment of mice with a pomegranate peel extract (PPX) decreased the pathogenicity of Citrobacter rodentium (Cr) infections. Here, we investigate the effects of PPX on the microbiome of uninfected or Cr‐infected C3H/HeNCr mice by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Mice were treated with water or PPX for 14 days, feces were collected, and then, the mice were infected with Cr and feces collected again at day 6 postinfection. DNA was isolated from the fecal samples and subjected to 16S rRNA gene sequencing to determine the microbial composition. Differences in the composition of the microbiome were observed for untreated and PPX‐treated mice with PPX mice having decreased diversity. PPX treatment decreased the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio by increasing Bacteroidetes and decreasing Firmicutes levels. The decrease in Firmicutes was driven by a large reduction in Lactobacillus. PPX treatment increased the abundance of Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobiae and decreased Actinobacteria. The relative abundance of Cr reached 22% in water‐treated but only 5% in PPX‐treated infected mice. These results suggest that consumption of pomegranate polyphenols altered the microbiome, making it more resistant to displacement by infection with Cr, indicating that pomegranate polyphenols may mitigate the pathogenic effects of food‐borne bacterial pathogens.

  6. Article ; Online: Managing lymphoedema following treatment for head and neck cancer: is complete decongestive therapy an effective intervention to improve dysphagia outcomes?

    Abstract Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to summarize current evidence regarding management of head and neck lymphoedema (HNL) to improve dysphagia outcomes following head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment. This review aims to support complete decongestive therapy (CDT) comprising compression, manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), exercises and skincare as an adjunct of dysphagia rehabilitation.
    Recent findings: Research in the limbs supports the use of CDT to improve lymphoedema outcomes. Emerging evidence supports the use of CDT for the head and neck, though, there is no consensus on optimal treatment required to improve dysphagia outcomes. Current evidence is limited due to a paucity of randomized controlled trials, case series or cohort studies with small participant numbers, and a lack of functional and instrumental dysphagia outcome measures. This provides a foundation to design and test an individually tailored programme of HNL intervention to evaluate swallowing outcomes post CDT.
    Summary: As the incidence of HNC is increasing with HPV, with patients living for longer with late effects of HNC treatment, it is vital to understand how the presence of HNL impacts on the swallow, and if functional dysphagia outcomes improve following treatment of HNL. Prospective, longitudinal research with objective and functional outcome measures are required to help determine optimal management of HNL and its impact on the swallow.

    Abstract ESA Swarm products are made available through a collection of free-to-access open-source projects. The VirES server provides robust API-based access; the VirES web interface provides a visual point-and-click interface (https://vires.services); the viresclient Python package provides the basis for a programmatic workflow (https://viresclient.readthedocs.io); the Virtual Research Environment (VRE) provides a ready-to-code Jupyter environment to empower researchers to quickly start writing and running code (https://notebooks.vires.services). Access to the server is also made more interoperable through adoption of the HAPI specification (https://hapi-server.org). The Swarm Product Algorithm Laboratory, SwarmPAL (https://github.com/Swarm-DISC/SwarmPAL), is a new Python package to add to this landscape, part of an overall strategy for integrating with the wider Python (and Jupyter) ecosystem (https://doi.org/10.3389/fspas.2022.1002697). SwarmPAL holds algorithms that can be directly applied in a configurable way to data retrieved via VirES, these algorithms being developed by scientists within the Swarm community. In this way we deliver new on-demand data products, directly in the programming environment popular with new researchers. Two activities which have already been incorporated within SwarmPAL are the TFA (Time Frequency Analysis), and DSECS (Dipolar Spherical Elementary Current Systems) toolboxes, for analysing wave activity and mid-latitude ionospheric currents respectively. We plan to gradually expand the range of available algorithms, while also providing pathways to integrate with other Python packages, for example within the Python in Heliophysics Community, PyHC (http://pyhc.org). These works contain contributions from EOX IT Services and many people across the Swarm community, including Swarm DISC (Data, Innovation, and Science Cluster).

    Abstract In his day, Raphael Cilento was one of the most prominent and controversial figures in Australian medicine. As a senior medical officer in the Commonwealth and Queensland governments, he was an active participant in public health reform during the inter-war years and is best known for his vocal engagement with public discourse on the relationship between hygiene, race and Australian nationhood. Yet Cilento's work on tropical hygiene and social welfare ranged beyond Australia, especially when he served as a colonial medical officer in British Malaya and in the Mandated Territory of New Guinea. He also worked with the League of Nations Health Organization in the Pacific Islands and oversaw international social welfare programs for the United Nations. On one level, this professional mobility allowed ideas and practices of public health and government to circulate between colonial spaces of northern Australia, the Pacific Islands and Asia. On another, it meant that Cilento's Pacific colonialism and colonial experience shaped his understanding of Australian national health and welfare. Rather than attempt a comprehensive biography of Cilento, this book instead uses this border-crossing career as a means to explore several material and discursive facets of Australia's relationships to the Pacific and the world
