Ameliorative effect of venom against arthritic influence of Freund's complete adjuvant FCA in paw and ankle of male rats.

Background: Pain and inflammation are closely associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which affects the bones and joints.

Aim: While there are a number of therapeutic options for arthritis, their side effects restrict their use and encourage the search for alternative, natural remedies.

Methods: In male rats, we examined the anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties of venom (NHV).

Sickle Cell Retinopathy Lost to Follow-up Study.

Purpose: To determine the outcomes of sickle cell retinopathy (SCR) patients who experienced at least one episode of being lost to follow-up (LTFU) compared to those who attended all appointments.

Methods: Adult SCR patients who visited Wills Eye Hospital Retina service (January 2012-December 2021) with >2 visits were reviewed for LTFU events, defined as failure to return for a follow-up appointment within 6 months of the scheduled date.

Results: One hundred and eighty-one eyes of 94 patients were included.

The Subtle evolution of pulmonary parenchymal changes: A case of lady windermere syndrome emerging from chronic MAC infection in an immunocompetent patient with scoliosis.

Mycobacterium avium complex, a commonly seen infection in individuals with a compromised immune system, can also affect people who are immunocompetent. One particularly important manifestation is in elderly females with a competent immune system, involving the middle lobe and lingula lobe of the lung. This is known as Lady Windermere syndrome (LWS).

Tailored Ni(OH)/CuCo/Ni(OH) Composite Interfaces for Efficient and Durable Urea Oxidation Reaction.

Electrocatalytic urea oxidation reaction is a promising alternative to water oxidation for more efficient hydrogen production due to its significantly lower thermodynamic potential. However, achieving efficient electrochemical urea oxidation remains a formidable challenge, and development of an improved electrocatalyst with an optimal physicochemical and electronic structure toward urea oxidation is desired. This can be accomplished by designing a tailored two-dimensional composite with an abundance of active sites in a favorable electronic environment.

Safety of Peripherally Infused Sympathomimetic Vasopressors in the Intensive Care Unit and Emergency Department.

Background: Sympathomimetic vasopressors may be administered through a peripheral catheter, but there are limited data available on the safety of peripheral use.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the safety of peripherally infused sympathomimetic vasopressors.

Methods: A multicenter, retrospective observational study was conducted to evaluate patients who received peripheral vasopressors.
