Background: The advantages of insulin degludec 100 U/mL (IDeg100) in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) include consistent release, predictable glucose-lowering effect, and minimal day-to-day variability.

Hypothesis/objectives: To describe the use of IDeg100 in dogs with DM, level of diabetic control and adverse effects.

Animals: Thirty-three client-owned dogs with DM.

Transient amorphous phases are known as functional precursors in the formation of crystalline materials, both in vivo and in vitro. A common route to regulate amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) crystallization is via direct interactions with negatively charged macromolecules. However, a less explored phenomenon that can influence such systems is the electrostatically driven formation of Ca-macromolecule dense phases.

Background: Uterus transplantation from deceased donors offers a promising solution to the organ shortage, but optimal preservation methods are crucial for successful outcomes. Our primary objective is to conduct an initial assessment of the contribution of oxygenated hypothermic perfusion in uterine transplantation.

Methods: We performed a preclinical study on a porcine model of controlled donation after circulatory death (60 min warm ischemia).

Article Synopsis
  • Silica polymerization is crucial in various chemical processes, but industrial methods often require extreme conditions, whereas nature can precipitate silica under mild conditions using dilute solutions.
  • The study highlights the role of amine-rich organic macromolecules, which enhance silica polymerization in a pH-dependent manner, demonstrating that this process operates independently of the concentration of silica.
  • The findings suggest a two-step phase separation for silica formation, leading to the creation of specialized organic-inorganic nanomaterials that mimic evolutionary principles in their design.
