Evaluation of Robotic Systems on Cytotoxic Drug Preparation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

: With the increased prevalence of patients with cancer, the demand for preparing cytotoxic drugs was increased by health-system pharmacists. To reduce the workload and contamination of work areas in pharmacies, compounding robots preparing cytotoxic drugs have been introduced, and the use of the robots has been expanded in recent years. As reports on the comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of compounding robots remain lacking, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to provide descriptive and quantitative evaluations of the accuracy of preparing injectable cytotoxic drugs.

Delayed-onset subdural hematoma after mild head injury with negative initial brain imaging.

Mild head injuries are commonly encountered in the neurosurgical field and emergency room (ER). The usual step is to discharge if the mental status of the patient is good and the initial brain computed tomography (CT) findings are normal. Here, we report a rare case of an 82-year-old male patient who developed delayed-onset bilateral subdural hematoma five weeks after a mild head injury.

Effects of Oats ( L.) on Inflammation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Oat and its compounds have been found to have anti-inflammatory effects. Through this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to determine an evidence-based link between oat consumption and inflammatory markers. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed.

Lenzimycins A and B, Metabolites With Antibacterial Properties From sp. Associated With the Dung Beetle .

Symbiotic microorganisms associated with insects can produce a wide array of metabolic products, which provide an opportunity for the discovery of useful natural products. Selective isolation of bacterial strains associated with the dung beetle, , identified two strains, of which the antibiotic-producing sp. PTH23 inhibited the growth of sp.

Chronic mild stress decreases survival, but not proliferation, of new-born cells in adult rat hippocampus.

New-born cells continue to proliferate and survive to become mature granule cells in adult rat hippocampus. Although this process, known as neurogenesis, is inhibited by acute stress, it is not clear whether chronic stress affects neurogenesis. To determine whether chronic mild stress (CMS) influences neurogenesis in the adult rat hippocampus, male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to CMS and administered bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) before or after CMS to observe the survival/differentiation or proliferation of new-born cells, respectively.
