Quality testing of mifepristone and misoprostol in 11 countries.

Objective: Previous studies have demonstrated quality concerns with misoprostol. Mifepristone, however, has not been extensively assessed for quality. Between 2020 and 2021, Concept Foundation and the International Planned Parenthood Federation conducted a study to determine the quality of these medical abortion drugs in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).

Prepared omadacycline for injection: Nine-day stability and sterility in an elastomeric pump.

Objective: To investigate compatibility, stability, and microbiologic risk of omadacycline 1 mg/mL when prepared in an elastomeric infusion pump and stored under refrigeration for 9 days based upon requests for information from healthcare providers.

Methods: Omadacycline was reconstituted to 1 mg/mL with sodium chloride 0.9% w/v or dextrose 5% w/v in SMARTeZ elastomeric infusion pumps and refrigerated for up to 9 days.

An MRI evaluation of carpal tunnel dimensions in healthy wrists: Implications for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Background: Deviated wrist postures and pinch grip use have been linked to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome and are likely related to the size and shape of the carpal tunnel. The purpose of this study was to quantify carpal tunnel dimensions with changes in wrist posture and pinch grip.

Methods: Eight healthy volunteers (4 male, 4 female) underwent magnetic resonance imaging of their dominant wrists under seven conditions which included: 30 degrees wrist extension, neutral and 30 degrees flexion (with and without a 10 N pinch force) and a fist with a neutral wrist.
