We show that a combination of DNA and ionic liquid significantly increases the stability and activity of HRP and achieves a 4.8-fold higher peroxidase activity than PBS buffer. Also, HRP retains 84% of its activity in IL+DNA compared to 24% in PBS against trypsin digestion.

- A study examined long-term opioid prescribing patterns among workers after work-related injuries, focusing on those who had received opioids before their injury.
- The research found that a significant number of workers continued to receive opioids after their injury, especially if they had been prescribed opioids in the three months leading up to the injury.
- Results indicated that 34% of workers with prior opioid prescriptions were still receiving opioids 9-12 months after their injury, compared to only 7% of those without prior use, highlighting the need for healthcare providers to consider a patient’s history with opioids when treating work injuries.
Article Synopsis
- Studying medicine is an active and demanding process that requires dedication, curiosity, and continuous learning through various means like observation and reading.
- The essence of being a student is rooted in the eagerness to acquire knowledge, not just in scientific terms but also in understanding the human aspects of medicine.
- Developing skills like empathy, active listening, and trust-building is crucial for medical students to effectively connect with patients and provide both care and comfort.
A light guide is an essential part of many scintillator counters and light collection systems. Our main interest is a light guide for a thin, wide scintillator that has high light transmission while converting the area of the light source to the shape of a photo-detector. We propose a variation of the light guide that avoids a 90° twist of the strips, reduces the length of the light pipe, and reduces the complexity of production.

Identification of individuals at risk for long-term opioid use can help support treatment decisions. The aim of this study was to determine psychosocial factors associated with opioid use 6 months after a work-related injury.
