  • - The ACTIV-4c trial examined the effectiveness of apixaban, given for 30 days after hospital discharge from COVID-19, but was halted early due to low rates of death or thromboembolism.
  • - Researchers aimed to find high-risk patients for whom post-discharge blood clot prevention might be beneficial by analyzing various factors like age, ethnicity, and D-dimer levels.
  • - Results showed that the overall occurrence of death and thromboembolism was low, especially in patients under 60, and the study concluded that there was no clear high-risk group that would benefit from additional blood clot prevention measures.

Cucumis sativus (cucumber) was tested to assess an ecotoxicity in soils contaminated by the heavy metals copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) separately and in combinations. The toxicity endpoint was plant growth, which was measured as shoot and root lengths after 5 day exposure. Sum of toxic unit (TU) at 50% inhibition for the mixture (EC50mix) was calculated from the dose (TU-based)-response relationships by the Trimmed Spearman-Karber method.
