Effects of a New Enzymatic Debrider (SN514-066b) on Eschar Protein Digestion, Burn Wound Debridement, and Healthy Skin Irritation.

SN514 is a thermolysin-like enzyme under development as a debrider. Preclinical and non-clinical studies supported a first in human healthy volunteer study to predict the need for protection of periwound skin. Pharmacologic activity testing compared digestion of collagen, fibrin, and elastin with relevant enzymes.

A Simple Staining Method Using Pyronin Y for Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy to Evaluate Gelatin Cryogels.

This study explores the novel application of pyronin Y for fluorescently labeling extracellular matrices (ECMs) and gelatin cryogels, providing a simple and reliable method for laser scanning confocal microscopy. Pyronin Y exhibited remarkable staining ability of the porous structures of gelatin cryogels, indicating its potential as a reliable tool for evaluating such biomaterials. Confocal imaging of pyronin Y-stained cryogels produced high signal-to-noise ratio images suitable for quantifying pores using Fiji/Image J.

Stronger color evasive racial ideologies predict lower likelihood of open adoption placement with same-sex couples.

Although the adoption rate among same-sex couples has been increasing, limited research has focused on factors influencing decision making related to placing children with such couples, particularly from the standpoint of birth mothers. Additionally, there is a gap in the literature regarding how biases may influence birth mothers' decision to place their child with a same-sex couple. This study sought to examine the association between birth mothers' racial ideologies and their decision to voluntarily place their children with same-sex couples ( = 29) or mother-father couples ( = 354) during the adoption process.

Novel Drug-Drug Interaction of Potential Rifabutin-Induced Edoxaban Failure: A Case Report.

To report an incident of a breakthrough deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and potential example of a drug-drug interaction in a patient treated with edoxaban and rifabutin who was being treated for respiratory tuberculosis. A 76-year-old male presented with anemia requiring transfusion and subsequent shortness of breath that was later diagnosed to be respiratory tuberculosis. He experienced a prolonged hospital stay due to persistently positive respiratory samples and a complicated social situation that required continuous hospitalization for approximately five months.

Impact of an Interprofessional Education Activity on Student Knowledge and Attitudes Regarding Patient Safety.

This study aimed to measure the impact of an interprofessional education (IPE) activity on student knowledge and attitudes regarding patient safety. Two 4 h IPE activities were designed to provide students with foundational information regarding patient safety. Interprofessional teams discussed the individual curricula and roles/responsibilities of each represented health profession.
