Pathogenic drug resistant fungi: a review of mitigation strategies
(MDPI, 2023-01-13)
Fungal pathogens cause significant human morbidity and mortality globally, where there is
a propensity to infect vulnerable people such as the immunocompromised ones. There is increasing
evidence of resistance to antifungal ...
Implications for the seafood industry, consumers and the environment arising from contamination of shellfish with pharmaceuticals, plastics and potentially toxic elements: a case study from Irish waters with a global orientation
(Elsevier, 2022-10-20)
Shellfish are a rich source of minerals, B-vitamins and omega-3 to the human diet. The global population is expected to reach 9.6 billion people by 2050 where there will be increased demand for shellfish and for sustained ...
Packaging environmental impact on seafood supply chains: a review of life cycle assessment studies
(Wiley, 2022)
Packaging is fundamental for food preservation and transportation but generates an
environmental burden from its production and end-of-life management. This review
evaluates packaging contribution to the environmental ...
Role of ascomycete and basidiomycete fungi in meeting established and emerging sustainability opportunities: a review
(Taylor & Francis, 2023-04-27)
Fungal biomass is the future’s feedstock. Non-septate Ascomycetes and septate Basidiomycetes,
famously known as mushrooms, are sources of fungal biomass. Fungal biomass, which on averagely
comprises about 34% protein ...
A review of Spaulding's classification system for effective cleaning, disinfection and sterilization of reusable medical devices: viewed through a modern-day lens that will inform and enable future sustainability
(Elsevier, 2023-03-22)
Despite advances in medicine and innovations in many underpinning fields including disease prevention and control,
the Spaulding classification system, originally proposed in 1957, remains widely used for defining the ...
Editorial: "The value of microbial bioreactors to meet challenges in the circular bioeconomy".
(Frontiers, 2023-04-05)
The use of microbial bioreactors has harnessed immense attention to support many
of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals where this innovative platform
provides crucial insights into unlocking a diversity ...
Bioprocessing and the production of antiviral biologics in the prevention and treatment of viral infectious disease
(MDPI, 2023-05-17)
Emerging, re-emerging and zoonotic viral pathogens represent a serious threat to human
health, resulting in morbidity, mortality and potentially economic instability at a global scale. Cer tainly, the recent emergence ...
Pulsed ultraviolet (PUV) disinfection of artifcially contaminated seawater seeded with high levels of pathogen disease indicators as an alternative for the shellfish industry depuration systems
(Springer, 2023-05-08)
The increase in pathogen levels in seawater threatens the safety of entire aquatic ecosystems. Foodborne pathogens can potentially accumulate in shellfish, especially in filter feeders such as bivalves, requiring an efficient ...
Perceived factors informing the pre-acceptability of digital health innovation by again respiratory patients: a case study from the Republic of Ireland
(Frontiers, 2023-10-24)
It is appreciated that digital health is increasing in interest as an important
area for efficiently standardizing and developing health services in Ireland,
and worldwide. However, digital health is still considered to ...
A proposed cleaning classification system for reusable medical devices to complement the Spaulding classification
(Elsevier, 2023-12-14)
A central tenet in infection prevention is the application of the Spaulding classification system for the safe use of medical devices. Initially defined in the 1950’s, this system defines types of devices and surfaces as ...
