A Safety-Centric Study on the Use of Inflatable Abdominal Binders for Managing Orthostatic Hypotension.

The study focuses on the design and evaluation of inflatable abdominal binders for managing Orthostatic Hypotension. Orthostatic hypotension is a condition characterized by a significant drop in blood pressure when a person stands up, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and even fainting. The management of orthostatic hypotension typically involves a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies.

Biomechanical Effects of Seizures on Cerebral Dynamics and Brain Stress.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders globally, affecting about 50 million people, with nearly 80% of those affected residing in low- and middle-income countries. It is characterized by recurrent seizures that result from abnormal electrical brain activity, with seizures varying widely in manifestation. The exploration of the biomechanical effects that seizures have on brain dynamics and stress levels is relevant for the development of more effective treatments and protective strategies.

Assessment of Abdominal Constrictor's Forces for Informing Computational Models of Orthostatic Hypotension.

Orthostatic hypotension is defined as a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing from a sitting or supine position. The prevalence of this condition increases exponentially with age. Nonpharmacological treatments are always the first step in the management of this condition, such as the use of an abdominal constriction belt to optimize the blood volume in the abdomen.

Glycemic control in hospitalized patients not in intensive care: beyond sliding-scale insulin.

Glycemic control in hospitalized patients who are not in intensive care remains unsatisfactory. Despite persistent expert recommendations urging its abandonment, the use of sliding-scale insulin remains pervasive in U.S.

Mass spectrometric assessment and analytical methods for quantitation of the new herbicide aminocyclopyrachlor and its methyl analogue in soil and water.

Analytical methods have been developed for the detection and quantitation of a new herbicide active ingredient, aminocyclopyrachlor, and its analogue aminocyclopyrachlor methyl in environmental samples. The analytes were purified from soil extracts and water samples using solid phase extraction based on mixed-mode cation exchange/reverse phase retention. Analyte identification and quantitative analyses were performed by high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry by an electrospray ionization source.
