Tilapia, a widely farmed aquaculture fish, produces substantial waste, including viscera that contain extracellular matrix (ECM) utilized as a biomaterial for tissue regeneration applications. Extracting ECM from viscera requires a specific decellularization method, as no standardized protocol exists. This study performed three decellularization methods: sonication, orbital shaking at room temperature, and agitation at 4°C, using SDS and TX100 at concentrations of 0.

- Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a non-cancerous bone condition that can cause bone pain, deformities, and fractures, particularly affecting the cranio-facial region.
- A study at a surgical oncology department followed seven patients with cranio-facial FD over 18.75 months, focusing on the effects of zolendronic acid, a medication used for bone conditions.
- Results showed significant improvements in patients' pain levels and other clinical markers, supporting the use of zolendronic acid as an effective treatment option for cranio-facial fibrous dysplasia.
Importance: Supplementing potassium in an effort to maintain high-normal serum concentrations is a widespread strategy used to prevent atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery (AFACS), but is not evidence-based, carries risks, and is costly.
Objective: To determine whether a lower serum potassium concentration trigger for supplementation is noninferior to a high-normal trigger.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This open-label, noninferiority, randomized clinical trial was conducted at 23 cardiac surgical centers in the United Kingdom and Germany.
Background: The pneumonitis associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection impacts the right ventricle (RV). However, the association between the disease severity and right ventricular systolic function needs elucidation.
Method: We conducted a retrospective study of 108 patients admitted to critical care with COVID-19 pneumonitis to examine the association between tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) by transthoracic echocardiography as a surrogate for RV systolic function with PaO/FiO ratio as a marker of disease severity and other respiratory parameters.
