Intravenous Glutathione and Vitamin Supplementation Causing Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome: A Case Report.

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis are severe mucocutaneous reactions with high morbidity and mortality, most commonly triggered by prescribed medications. Here, we report a case of a 33-year-old female who developed Stevens-Johnson/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis after receiving an IV vitamin infusion containing glutathione, vitamin C, and vitamin D. While not commonly associated with the development of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome glutathione has been previously reported to have been the inciting agent in Stevens-Johnson Syndrome cases.

Upper Limit on the Photoproduction Cross Section of the Spin-Exotic π_{1}(1600).

The spin-exotic hybrid meson π_{1}(1600) is predicted to have a large decay rate to the ωππ final state. Using 76.6  pb^{-1} of data collected with the GlueX detector, we measure the cross sections for the reactions γp→ωπ^{+}π^{-}p, γp→ωπ^{0}π^{0}p, and γp→ωπ^{-}π^{0}Δ^{++} in the range E_{γ}=8-10  GeV.

A web-based pesticide risk assessment tool for drinking water protection zones in Sweden.

To protect human health, wildlife and the aquatic environment, "safe uses" of pesticides are determined at the EU level while product authorization and terms of use are established at the national level. In Sweden, extra precaution is taken to protect drinking water, and permits are therefore required for pesticide use within abstraction zones. This paper presents MACRO-DB, a tool for assessing pesticide contamination risks of groundwater and surface water, used by authorities to support their decision-making for issuing such permits.

The PUG Flap: Conjoined Profunda Artery Perforator and Upper Gracilis Flap for Breast Reconstruction.

Abdominal-based free flaps are the mainstay of autologous breast reconstruction; however, the region may not be ideal for patients with inadequate soft tissue or history of abdominal surgery. This case describes the use of a novel conjoined flap based on the profunda artery perforator and upper gracilis pedicles, named the perforator and upper gracilis (PUG) flap. This flap design aims to maximize medial thigh flap volume while ensuring robust tissue perforation.
