Introduction: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a severe complication in the postpartum period and equals a major depression occurring in the first weeks after delivery. During the COVID-19 pandemic, an increased incidence of PPD was observed. For this reason, we conducted an intervention study to test the effectiveness of the "7mind"-app, an app-based mindfulness training program, in the prevention of PPD.

Depending on the ambient pH, ionizable substances are present in varying proportions in their neutral or charged form. The extent to which these two chemical species contribute to the pH-dependant toxicity of ionizable chemicals and whether intracellular ion trapping has a decisive influence in this context is controversially discussed. Against this background, we determined the acute toxicity of 24 ionizable substances at up to 4 different pH values on the embryonic development of the zebrafish, Danio rerio, and supplemented this dataset with additional data from the literature.

Objective: Target-site concentrations obtained via the catheter-based minimally invasive microdialysis technique often exhibit high variability. Catheter calibration is commonly performed via retrodialysis, in which a transformation factor, termed relative recovery (RR), is determined. Leveraging RR values from a rich data set of a very large clinical microdialysis study, promised to contribute critical insight into the origin of the reportedly high target-site variability.
