- Acetaminophen poisoning is primarily treated using N-acetylcysteine (NAC), with a traditional three-bag protocol, but a simpler two-bag protocol has been gaining popularity as an alternative.

- The two-bag regimen was associated with fewer non-allergic anaphylactoid reactions compared to the three-bag regimen, indicating it may be a safer option for patients.
Background: Few studies have investigated the association between radon and thyroid cancer despite the sensitivity of the thyroid gland to radiation. Our goal is to investigate the association between county-level radon and incidence of female thyroid cancer in the US States of Iowa, New Jersey, and Wisconsin.
Methods: Thyroid cancer incidence data were provided by individual state cancer registries and span 1990-2013.
Gd4O2S:Yb:Tm rare-earth upconversion phosphors have been utilised to monitor the redox behaviour of flavin mononucleotide and report on the turnover of a flavo-protein, (pentaerythritol tetranitrate reductase). The presence of two bands separated by over 300 nm in the UCP emission spectra allows ratiometric signalling of these processes with high sensitivity.
