Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Portopulmonary hypertension practice patterns after liver transplantation

Liver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) is a type of pulmonary arterial hypertension occurring exclusively in those with portal hypertensive liver disease. Liver transplantation (LT) can significantly improve outcomes. Current guidelines counsel against immediate adjustments to targeted therapy after LT and suggest routine echocardiography as ...

Carbogen inhalation during Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus: A quantitative analysis of EEG recordings [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Objective: To quantify the effect of inhaled 5% carbon-dioxide/95% oxygen on EEG recordings from patients in non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). Methods: Five children of mixed aetiology in NCSE were given high flow of inhaled carbogen (5% carbon dioxide/95% oxygen) using a face mask for maximum 120s. EEG was recorded concurrently in all patients.

Associations of Fire Smoke and Other Pollutants With Incident Rheumatoid Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether pollutants such as fire smoke–related particulate matter <2.5 μm (PM2.5) are associated with incident rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and RA‐associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD). Methods This patient–control study used Veterans Affairs (VA) data from October 1, 2009, to December 31, 2018.

Long‐Term Safety and Efficacy of Mepolizumab in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare, relapsing, inflammatory disease. Management of EGPA predominantly relies on oral corticosteroids (OCS), which are associated with many adverse effects. The phase 3 MIRRA trial demonstrated efficacy and safety of mepolizumab, anti‐interleukin‐5 biologic, for EGPA.

Microfluidic Bioelectrical Impedance Drug Delivery Device for Patients with Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease [PDF]

arXiv
Inhalers with corticosteroids and muscle relaxants are prescribed by pulmonologists to mitigate bronchospasms that happen due to tightening of the chest. An adhesive patch attached to a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can relieve episodes of bronchospasms in the event the prescribed inhaler is not nearby.

3D‐cultured BMSC exosomes improve cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury‐induced neuronal apoptosis by regulating the microglia polarization

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The study reveals that microglial activation significantly contributes to neuroinflammation following cerebral ischemia‐reperfusion injury. It demonstrates that utilizing GelMA hydrogel for three‐dimensional culture of bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) enhances the efficacy of BMSC‐derived exosomes in regulating microglial polarization

Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.
