Comparison of rat hypertrophic scar models: Caudal tension model with superior pathological consistency

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study compared hypertrophic scar (HS) formation in SD rats at ear, back, and tail sites with or without mechanical tension. The ear model healed spontaneously by day 30. Dorsal full‐thickness excision (1 × 8 cm) produced moderate HS. In contrast, the tail tension model showed the greatest scar thickness, fibroblast density, collagen deposition ...

Thermophilic anaerobic treatment and biogas generation from wastewater produced in an advanced biorefinery process

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Anaerobic digestion can be an alternative method for treating wastewater from second‐generation biorefineries while simultaneously producing biogas. However, the feasibility of the process and key operational parameters by which wastewater produced in lignocellulosic biorefineries affects reactor performance remain poorly understood.

Driving continuous improvement of sustainability certification for industrial biobased systems through comprehensive sustainability requirements

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Existing monitoring frameworks for sustainability certification schemes and labels (CSLs) have largely prioritised environmental aspects, while the social and economic pillars of sustainability remain comparatively underdeveloped. Also, dedicated circularity requirements tailored to biobased systems are still largely lacking, despite being ...

Extrapolation and pharmacokinetic protocol design optimization for ceftriaxone as an exemplar for the development of antibiotics for children

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin commonly used for the treatment of acute, severe infections; however, there are conflicting data on its disposition properties in children, making it a suitable case study for the evaluation of the appropriateness of extrapolation approaches based on exposure matching principles for paediatric patients and exploring ...

Somatosensory perception in Visual Snow Syndrome: a comparison to age-, sex- and migraine-matched controls using Quantitative Sensory Testing - no evidence of altered somatosensory thresholds

The Journal of Headache and Pain
Background Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS) is characterized by persistent, television noise like visual disturbances, accompanied by other visual and non-visual symptoms. Although VSS is recognized as a clinical entity, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly

From Global Standards to Local Compliance: Implementation Heterogeneity in Cocoa Certification in Indonesia

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certified companies translate voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) into local practice, yet little is known about how company‐level implementation of VSS relates to farmer compliance. This paper examines Rainforest Alliance (RA) implementation by three certified companies in the Indonesian cocoa sector. Drawing on compliance and regulatory
