Use of telemedicine for trauma care since the Russian invasion of Ukraine: A qualitative assessment.

Introduction: Ukraine's health and trauma system has been detrimentally impacted since the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022. Use of telemedicine became critical to providing timely medical care. As such, the aim of this study was to describe telemedicine's use in the health and trauma system of Ukraine following the full-scale invasion.

The Emergence of MOVES SLC Life-Support System Equipment for En-Route Trauma Care in Ukraine During a Qualitative Assessment.

Introduction: Ukraine's health and trauma system has been detrimentally impacted since the Russian Federation invasion in February 2022. The number and extent of injuries experienced in Ukraine because of trench warfare and high-intensity large-scale combat operations has not been seen in recent conflicts. Understanding attitudes and perceptions around the use of devices and products including MOVES (monitor, oxygen concentrator, ventilator, and suction system) and its use in the large-scale combat operation environment can inform lessons learned for improved prehospital care in Ukraine, as well as in other future conflicts.

Customized digestion protocols for copepods, euphausiids, chaetognaths and fish larvae facilitate the isolation of ingested microplastics.

Degradation of oceanic plastic waste leads to the formation of microplastics that are ingested by a wide range of animals. Yet, the amounts that are taken up, especially by small zooplankton, are largely unknown. This is mostly due to the complex methodology that is required for isolating ingested microplastics from organisms.

Biodynamer Nano-Complexes and -Emulsions for Peptide and Protein Drug Delivery.

Background: Therapeutic proteins and peptides offer great advantages compared to traditional synthetic molecular drugs. However, stable protein loading and precise control of protein release pose significant challenges due to the extensive range of physicochemical properties inherent to proteins. The development of a comprehensive protein delivery strategy becomes imperative accounting for the diverse nature of therapeutic proteins.

Enhancing capacity for national genomics surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in public health laboratories in Kenya.

Genomic surveillance is vital for detecting outbreaks and understanding the epidemiology and transmission of bacterial strains, yet it is not integrated into many national antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance programmes. Key factors are that few scientists in the public health sector are trained in bacterial genomics, and the diverse sequencing platforms and bioinformatic tools make it challenging to generate reproducible outputs. In Kenya, these gaps were addressed by training public health scientists to conduct genomic surveillance on isolates from the national AMR surveillance repository and produce harmonized reports.
