Background And Objectives: Yeasts play a dual role in dairy processing, serving as beneficial fermentative agents that enhance product quality through flavor, texture, and probiotic properties, while also posing spoilage risks if uncontrolled. This study aimed to characterize yeast isolates from industrial and traditional dairy products in Isfahan using PCR-sequencing and phylogenetic analysis.
Materials And Methods: A total of 155 dairy samples (fresh/stored, traditional/industrial) were collected. Yeasts were cultured and identified via PCR amplification and sequencing of the ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2 region.
Results: Analysis of ITS sequence data identified 28 yeast strains representing eleven species across seven genera, including (n=8) (n=6), (n=4), s (n=2), (n=2), (n=1), (n=1), (n=1), (n=1), (n=1), and (n=1). Phylogenetic analysis grouped isolates into two clusters. Industrial cheese and both industrial/traditional yogurts showed the highest yeast diversity and counts. Notably, was found only in industrial milk and cheese, suggesting potential processing-related contamination.
Conclusion: This study highlights the diversity of yeast microbiota in dairy products and underscores the efficacy of ITS sequencing for accurate yeast identification in the dairy industry, aiding quality control and spoilage prevention.

Background: Monochorionic twins, characterized by placental sharing and vascular anastomoses, carry a high risk of brain injury, including perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAIS). However, the pathophysiology and timing-related risk factors of PAIS remain unclear.
Methods: Retrospective cohort of all monochorionic twins with neuroimaging-confirmed PAIS born from 2005 to 2024 and evaluated at a Dutch national referral center.

Purpose: This study investigates how older foreign-born adults in Sweden experience and navigate social connectedness as a determinant of wellbeing.
Methods: Employing Glaser's grounded theory methodology, we collected qualitative data through individual ( = 1) and focus group ( = 5) interviews with 23 participants aged 60 + representing four distinct cultural-linguistic groups: Arabic, Finnish, Spanish, and Chinese speakers.
Results: The analysis identified "" as the core category, encompassing three dimensions: (1) , (2) , and (3) .

Individuals with childhood experience of out-of-home care (OHC) face elevated risks of criminal behavior and poor mental health compared with the majority population. Evidence on how trajectories of offending and psychiatric disorders covary among individuals with experience of OHC is needed. This study is based on a cohort of 14,608 individuals ( = 1,319 with OHC experience) born in the Stockholm metropolitan area in 1953 (49% women) from birth to age 63 (2016).

Young-onset monogenic disorders often show variable penetrance, yet the underlying causes remain poorly understood. Uncovering these influences could reveal new biological mechanisms and enhance risk prediction for monogenic diseases. Here we show that polygenic background substantially shapes the clinical presentation of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), a common monogenic form of diabetes that typically presents in adolescence or early adulthood.

Auxins are involved in the regulation of fruit set and development; however, the role of IAA is unclear in pea (Pisum sativum) since the endogenous auxin 4-Cl-IAA appears to be the auxin stimulating ovary (pericarp) growth. To further understand the role of auxins during fruit development, auxin localization, quantitation, transport, and gene expression activity were assessed in this model legume species. IAA levels and auxin activity (DR5::β-Glucuronidase [GUS] staining and enzyme activity) were substantially reduced in the pericarp vascular tissues, pedicels, and peduncles of fruit upon seed removal, reflecting auxin transport streams derived from the seeds through these tissues.
