MR Imaging of Entrapment Neuropathies of the Hip.

Entrapment neuropathies of the hip (ENH) can occur due to a variety of causes with clinical symptoms that may mimic musculoskeletal disorders. Etiologies include entrapment in a fibromuscular canal, tethering due to posttraumatic fibrosis and extrinsic compression from muscle hypertrophy or a mass. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging enables detection and characterization of peripheral nerve pathology.

A neuromuscular clinician's guide to magnetic resonance neurography.

Magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) is increasingly used in clinical practice for the evaluation of patients with a wide spectrum of peripheral nerve disorders. This review article discusses the technical aspects of MRN highlighting the core sequences performed for clinical care. A robust, high-resolution, heavily T2-weighted fluid-sensitive sequence performed on a 3.

A novel antibody treatment reduces deformed wing virus loads in the western honey bee ().

Unlabelled: The deformed wing virus () (DWV) is a key driver of colony loss in the western honey bee (). Here, we demonstrate that orally delivered anti-DWV antibodies can act systemically to reduce DWV loads in naturally infected honey bees. Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) was produced in adult chickens against two DWV proteins, harvested from their eggs, and fed to bees in a sucrose solution.

Medications for community pharmacists to dose adjust or avoid to enhance prescribing safety in individuals with advanced chronic kidney disease: a scoping review and modified Delphi.

Background: Community pharmacists commonly see individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and are in an ideal position to mitigate harm from inappropriate prescribing. We sought to develop a relevant medication list for community pharmacists to dose adjust or avoid in individuals with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 30 mL/min informed through a scoping review and modified Delphi panel of nephrology, geriatric and primary care pharmacists.

Methods: A scoping review was undertaken to identify higher risk medications common to community pharmacy practice, which require a dose adaptation in individuals with advanced CKD.

Introduction of 7-day amotosalen/ultraviolet A light pathogen-reduced platelets in Honduras: Impact on platelet availability in a lower middle-income country.

Background And Objectives: Honduras became the first lower middle-income country (LMIC) to adopt amotosalen/UVA pathogen-reduced (PR) platelet concentrates (PCs) as a national platelet safety measure in 2018. The Honduran Red Cross (HRC) produces ~70% of the national platelet supply using the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) method. Between 2015 and 2018, PCs were screened with bacterial culture and issued as individual, non-pooled PRP units with weight-based dosing and 5-day shelf-life.
