Study protocol: The development of a pilot study employing a randomised controlled design to investigate the feasibility and effects of a peer support program following discharge from a specialist first-episode psychosis treatment centre

Abstract Background Young people with first-episode psychosis (FEP) are at risk of a range of negative outcomes.Specialist FEP services have been developed to provide comprehensive, multi-disciplinary treatment.However, these services are often available for a restricted period and the services that young people may be transferred to are less ALMON

New weapons to fight old enemies: novel strategies for the (bio)control of bacterial biofilms in the food industry

Biofilms are microbial communities characterized by their adhesion to solid surfaces and the production of a matrix of exopolymeric substances (EPS), consisting of polysaccharides, proteins, DNA and lipids, which surround the microorganisms lending structural integrity and a unique biochemical profile to the biofilm.Biofilm formation enhances the a
