Smartphone‐Guided Visible Light Modulation of RSNOs for Antimicrobial Activity via Controlled Nitric Oxide Release

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A light‐activated catheter insert combines antimicrobial blue light with nitric oxide release to generate complementary oxidative and nitrosative stress, producing potent broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity. The approach achieves greater than 4‐log reductions in bacterial and fungal viability and significantly reduces Staphylococcus aureus ...

Affected Persons in Laboratory Exposures to Human Pathogens and Toxins in Canada, 2016–2024: A Sector‐Specific Analysis

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Exposures to human pathogens and toxins in licensed facilities in Canada have been monitored by a federal surveillance system since 2015, yet the affected persons (APs) in these incidents remain uncharacterized. This study comprehensively describes APs, highlighting sector‐specific patterns and trends over time.

Neuroprotection after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion in male rats using kojic acid nanostructured lipid carriers: A behavioral, biochemical, and histological study on hippocampal CA1 region

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that kojic acid–loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (KA‐NLC) provide significant neuroprotection in a male rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)–induced stroke. Treatment with KA‐NLCs reduced cerebral edema, improved motor and coordination balance and neurological scores, and enhanced spatial and avoidance memory.
