Article Synopsis
- * Patients are categorized into anemic and nonanemic groups, as well as hyperglycemic and normoglycemic groups, to see how these factors affect the underestimation of ischemic core volume (ICuV).
- * Results showed that hyperglycemic patients had a higher rate of "perfusion scotoma" (65%) and a larger ICuV compared to normoglycemic patients, suggesting metabolic factors can significantly influence stroke outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- Tyrosinases (TYRs) are copper proteins important for hydroxylating and oxidizing phenolic compounds, producing melanins that protect against photo damage and inhibiting CO release in wetland ecosystems.
- This study focuses on two TYRs, HcTyr1 and HcTyr2, identified from the halophilic bacterium Hahella sp. found in a mangrove forest in Malaysia.
- HcTyr1's structure was resolved using X-ray crystallography, revealing its unique prokaryotic nature, while both enzymes showed variable activity affected by metals and conditions, with HcTyr1 demonstrating high salinity tolerance, making it a promising catalyst for its environment.
Background: Ampicillin/sulbactam, a combination of a β-lactam and β-lactamase inhibitor, is widely used in clinical settings. However, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of ampicillin is not commonly performed, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs). The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a rapid and cost-effective high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-ultraviolet spectrometry method to quantify ampicillin in human serum and evaluate its clinical application in ICU patients.

Materials & Methods: This retrospective study included patients with benign or malignant biliary stricture treated with PTBD at a single institution from 7/28/2004-3/30/2021. 357 patients met inclusion criteria, 77 (21.
