Pralidoxime for organophosphate poisoning
From their randomised trial, Kirti Pawar and colleagues report in today's Lancet on two pralidoxime-dosing schemes in 200 patients who had moderately severe self-poisoning with organophosphorus insecticide.1 After a 2-g loading dose over 30 min, half received a high-dose regimen of 1 g/h pralidoxime iodide for 48 h. The other half received a lower dose:

Role of the Calcium Plateau in the Neuronal Injury and Behavioral Morbidities Following Organophosphate Intoxication [PDF]
Organophosphate (OP) chemicals include nerve agents and pesticides, and there is a growing concern of OP based chemical attacks against civilians. Current antidotes are essential in limiting immediate mortality associated with OP exposure.

Nanoscale metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and nanocellulose composites have significant potential for the multi‐functional remediation of the environment. This review focused on the synthesis strategies (in situ growth, ex situ growth, and other approaches), typical forms (aerogel, hydrogel, beads, and membrane), and applications in the removal of ...

Multi‐Module Micro/Nanorobots for Biomedical and Environmental Remediation Applications
Multi‐module microrobots (MNRs) have overcome the limitations of single‐module systems by integrating components such as propeller, actuator, manipulator, and imaging modalities. They show promise in biomedical applications, such as targeted drug delivery and tissue repair, as well as in environmental remediation, including pollutant removal.

Organophosphate poisoning in marmosets
Due to faulty use of a chlorpyriphos-diazinon combination as a pesticide within a laboratory animal house, 19 marmosets of 2 species ( Saguinus fuscicollis and Callithrix jacchus) of 98 at risk died from organophosphorous poisoning (19% mortality). The clinical signs were those of cholinesterase inhibitors.

Inhibition of neurite outgrowth in differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells by phenyl saligenin phosphate: Effects on MAP kinase (ERK 1/2) activation, neurofilament heavy chain phosphorylation and neuropathy target esterase activity [PDF]
Sub-lethal concentrations of the organophosphate phenyl saligenin phosphate (PSP) inhibited the outgrowth of axon-like processes in differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells (IC50 2.5 μM).

Quantitative Analysis of Fluorescent Sensor Arrays
Fluorescent sensor arrays have great potential for the quantification of analytes in complex systems. Herein, statistical multivariate techniques and deep learning models to provide quantitative information from such arrays are reviewed. Fluorescent sensor arrays address the limitations of a single sensor by leveraging multiple sensing elements to ...
