The dark web trades wildlife, but mostly for use as drugs

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 999-1009, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Contemporary wildlife trade is massively facilitated by the Internet. By design, the dark web is one layer of the Internet that is difficult to monitor and continues to lack thorough investigation. Here, we accessed a comprehensive database of dark web marketplaces to search across c. 2 million dark web advertisements over 5 years using c. 7 k

Transdermal drug delivery in horses: An in vitro comparison of skin structure and permeation of two model drugs at various anatomical sites

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 235-245, June 2023., 2023
Background – Oral and parenteral drug delivery in horses can be difficult. Equine‐specific transdermal drug formulations offer improved ease of treatment; development of such formulations requires a deeper understanding of the structural and chemical tissue barrier of horse skin. Hypothesis/Objectives – To compare the structural composition and barrier

Benign descriptors and ADNEX in two‐step strategy to estimate risk of malignancy in ovarian tumors: retrospective validation in IOTA5 multicenter cohort

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 231-242, February 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Objective Previous work has suggested that the ultrasound‐based benign simple descriptors (BDs) can reliably exclude malignancy in a large proportion of women presenting with an adnexal mass. This study aimed to validate a modified version of the BDs and to validate a two‐step strategy to estimate the risk of malignancy, in which the modified ...

Human Endothelial Cell Seeding in Partially Decellularized Kidneys

BioMed Research International, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The excessive demand for organ transplants has promoted the development of strategies that increase the supply of immune compatible organs, such as xenotransplantation of genetically modified pig organs and the generation of bioartificial organs. We describe a method for the partial replacement of rat endothelial cells for human endothelial cells in a ...

Wildlife collection for scientific purposes

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 5-11, February 2021., 2021
Abstract Illegal transfer of wildlife has 2 main purposes: trade and scientific research. Trade is the most common, whereas scientific research is much less common and unprofitable, yet still important. Biopiracy in science is often neglected despite that many researchers encounter it during their careers.

In Vitro Comparative Quality Assessment of Different Brands of Doxycycline Hyclate Finished Dosage Forms: Capsule and Tablet in Jimma Town, South‐West Ethiopia

Advances in Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Background. Persistent postmarket quality evaluation helps produce clear information on the current quality status of the different brands of a given drug and hence introduces a biopharmaceutical and therapeutically equivalent list of the products to the prescribers and users of it. This in turn facilitates access to essential medicines by breaking the

Pet and Stray Dogs as Reservoirs of Antimicrobial‐Resistant Escherichia coli

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
The close contact between dogs and humans creates the best bridge for interspecies transmission of antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria. The surveillance of its resistance including the detection of extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamases (ESBLs) in Escherichia coli as indicator bacteria is an important tool to control the use of antimicrobials.

Conjunctival Matrix Metalloproteinase‐9 Clinical Assessment in Early Ocular Graft versus Host Disease

Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Purpose. Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) typically affects the ocular surface, with a presentation resembling Dry Eye Disease (DED). Although the etiopathology is not completely known, the conjunctiva might be a key site of T‐cell activation. The differential diagnosis might be tricky at early stages, because of the lack of dedicated clinical and ...
