Lyophilization of ASFV vaccine candidate ASFV-G-ΔI177L offers long term stability.

For over a century African swine fever (ASF) has been causing outbreaks leading to devastating losses for the swine industry. The current pandemic of ASF has shown no signs of stopping and continues to spread causing outbreaks in additional countries. Currently control relies mostly on culling infected farms, and strict biosecurity procedures.

Nitrogen dioxide sterilization of a set of five ophthalmic active pharmaceutical ingredients: Impact on impurity profile and content.

Literature about sterilization of pharmaceutical substances is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen dioxide (NO) sterilization, a new emerging technology, on five different ophthalmic active pharmaceutical ingredients, i.e.

Dietary regulation of silent synapses in the dorsolateral striatum.

Obesity and drugs of abuse share overlapping neural circuits and behaviors. Silent synapses are transient synapses that are important for remodeling brain circuits. They are prevalent during early development but largely disappear by adulthood.

Quantifying the impact of surgical teams on each stage of the operating room process.

Introduction: Operating room (OR) efficiency is a key factor in determining surgical healthcare costs. To enable targeted changes for improving OR efficiency, a comprehensive quantification of the underlying sources of variability contributing to OR efficiency is needed. Previous literature has focused on select stages of the OR process or on aggregate process times influencing efficiency.
