Electroencephalogram monitoring during anesthesia and critical care: a guide for the clinician.

Perioperative anesthetic, surgical and critical careinterventions can affect brain physiology and overall brain health. The clinical utility of electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring in anesthesia and intensive care settings is multifaceted, offering critical insights into the level of consciousness and depth of anesthesia, facilitating the titration of anesthetic doses, and enabling the detection of ischemic events and epileptic activity. Additionally, EEG monitoring can aid in predicting perioperative neurocognitive disorders, assessing the impact of systemic insults on cerebral function, and informing neuroprognostication.

Purification of AAV8 through a scalable two-step monolithic chromatography approach.

Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are becoming increasingly popular as a powerful tool for gene delivery therapy applications. Although processes to produce AAV are established, future demand for this type of viral vector requires further development of manufacturing processes to make them more robust, scalable, and flexible to accommodate the rise of engineered capsids. This study focuses on designing and evaluating a two-step chromatography process for capturing and polishing AAV8 using monolith chromatography media.

Anorexigenic and anti-inflammatory signaling pathways of semaglutide via the microbiota-gut--brain axis in obese mice.

Our study focused on a mouse model of obesity induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). We administered Semaglutide intraperitoneally (Ozempic ®-0.05 mg/Kg-translational dose) every seven days for six weeks.

The impact of patient-facility language discordance on potentially inappropriate prescribing of antipsychotics in long-term care home in Ontario, Canada: a retrospective population health cohort study.

Background: Appropriate use of medication is a key indicator of the quality of care provided in long-term care (LTC). The objective of this study was to determine whether resident-facility language concordance/discordance is associated with the odds of potentially inappropriate prescribing of antipsychotics (PIP-AP) in LTC.

Methods: We conducted a population-based, retrospective cohort study of LTC residents in Ontario, Canada from 2010 to 2019.

Haematopoietic cell transplantation for 106 infants and preschoolers with acquired and inherited bone marrow failures.

Aplastic anaemia in infants and young children presents unique challenges due to high prevalence of inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) in this age group. The objective of this study is assessing clinical characteristics and outcomes of haematopoietic cell transplantation in children ≤5 years with bone marrow failure syndromes. We analysied 106 patients (66% males), median age 4.
