Article Synopsis
  • * The review aimed to evaluate discharge opioid prescribing practices for neurosurgical patients and assess whether neurosurgeons are over-prescribing opioids, as existing literature on this topic is limited.
  • * A systematic review identified 23 relevant studies, revealing a mix of over-prescribing and under-prescribing of opioids, highlighting a need for individualized patient care and better quality research to help establish effective prescribing guidelines.

Isthmocele is emerging as an increasingly common yet troublesome diagnosis. The spectrum of potential symptoms is large, with subsequent management strategies continuing to evolve. For clinicians, having first recognized the inconsistencies in presentation, familiarity with the differing treatment options is important.

The in vitro production of animal-derived foods via cellular agriculture is emerging as a key solution to global food security challenges. Here, the potential for fiber-based scaffolds, including silk and cotton, in the cultivation of muscle cells for tissue formation was pursued. Mechanical properties and cytocompatibility with the mouse myoblast cell line C2C12 and immortalized bovine muscle satellite cells (iBSCs) were assessed, as well as pre-digestion options for the materials due to their resilience within the human digestive track.

During responses to outbreaks, the collection and analysis of data on employed case patients' industry and occupation are necessary to better understand the relationship between work and health outcomes. The occurrence of mpox by occupation and industry has not previously been assessed in the context of the 2022 outbreak. We analyzed employment data from 2548 mpox cases reported to the U.

Cultivated meat has the potential to revolutionize food production, but its progress is hindered by fundamental shortcomings of mammalian cells with respect to industrial-scale bioprocesses. Here, we discuss the essential role of cell line engineering in overcoming these limitations, highlighting the balance between the benefits of enhanced cellular traits and the associated regulatory and consumer acceptance challenges. We believe that careful selection of cell engineering strategies, including both genetic and non-genetic modifications, can address this trade-off and is essential to advancing the field.
