Management of decontamination in chemical accidents: a laboratory model

Scientific Reports, 2023
AbstractRapid and efficient decontamination of the skin is a major task for emergency rescue services in the event of a chemical accident involving humans. While rinsing the skin with water (and soap) has been the standard procedure, some skepticism has developed in recent years regarding the situational suitability of this method.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Pathways and pitfalls: a qualitative study of student experiences in biomedical science education

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biomedical science students from underrepresented backgrounds face barriers including financial strain, disrupted laboratory access and cultural exclusion. Peer networks provide vital support when institutional systems are difficult to navigate. To create inclusive learning environments and achieve academic success, educators should blend active, hands‐

CHEMICAL BURNS – CASE PRESENTATION [PDF]

Romanian Medical Journal, 2018
Burns are entirely particular lesions, which must always be regarded as severe, especially at extreme ages, which affect the body in its entirety. Both the local lesion and the general bodily reaction are dynamic and entail characteristic sequences ...

Beta1 subunits enable fentanyl‐induced BK channel activation and opioid regulation of cerebral artery diameter

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
During the current opioid crisis, the majority of overdose deaths are attributed to ultra‐potent synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl. While fentanyl exerts its action via opioid receptors, we propose that potassium channels in the brain blood vessels may also sense fentanyl.

Real‐World Safety of Concomitant Colchicine and Statin Therapy

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the risk of clinically meaningful muscle‐ and liver‐related outcomes associated with concomitant colchicine–statin therapy in a real‐world setting, and to determine whether concomitant therapy increases the incidence of toxicity compared with either agent alone.

Challenges and opportunities for assessing global progress in reducing chemical accident risks

Progress in Disaster Science, 2019
This paper gives the current outlook on assessing progress in reducing chemical accident risk from a global perspective. At the moment, there are very limited data collected for assessing the status of chemical accident risk globally.
