Unplanned Emergency Department or Inpatient Acute Care Within 1 Week After Administration of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy: Frequency of Occurrence and Standard Operating Procedures for Radioprotection in These Situations.

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is a rapidly developing treatment modality. These treatments are indicated for patients who are either heavily pretreated and/or may have neurohormonal active disease, increasing the risk of acute adverse effects and the need for unplanned acute care. The goals of this report were to characterize the frequency of unplanned acute care utilization after PRRT infusion and detail a comprehensive standard operating procedure (SOP) for radioprotection during unplanned post-PRRT acute care.

The lived experiences of relatives of autistic adults, and their perceptions of their relationships with autistic adults across multiple age-related transitions and demands: A qualitative interview study with reflexive thematic analysis.

Background: There is a need to better understand autism across the life course, including the lives of both autistic people and supporting relatives. As part of a larger mixed methods cohort study involving autistic adults, carers and relatives this sub-study focused on the experiences of relatives alone to learn more about the lives of people from the wider personal networks. Our research questions were: 1.

Mouse Choroid Proteome Revisited: Focus on Aging.

Age is a major risk factor for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and age has a role in the disease phenotypes of heritable macular dystrophies. The proteomes of C57Bl6/J mouse choroids at 2 ages were analyzed to identify biochemical processes affected by aging. Proteins of interest were identified as those contributing most to the variance in principal component analysis and those showing the largest significant differences between ages.

Multi-omic assessment shows dysregulation of pulmonary and systemic immunity to e-cigarette exposure.

Electronic cigarette (Ecig) use has become more common, gaining increasing acceptance as a safer alternative to tobacco smoking. However, the 2019 outbreak of Ecig and Vaping-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI) alerted the community to the potential for incorporation of deleterious ingredients such as vitamin E acetate into products without adequate safety testing. Understanding Ecig induced molecular changes in the lung and systemically can provide a path to safety assessment and protect consumers from unsafe formulations.
