The virus removal of protein A affinity chromatography, inactivation capacity, acid pH and a combination of high temperature with a chaotropic agent was determined in this work. The model viruses studied were sendaivirus, human immunodeficency virus (HIV-IIIb), human poliovirus type-II, human herpesvirus I and canine parvovirus. The protein A affinity chromatography showed a maximum reduction factor of 8 logs in the case of viruses larger than 120 nm size, while for small viruses (18-30 nm) the maximum reduction factor was about 5 logs. Non viral inactivation was observed during the monoclonal antibody elution step. Low pH treatment showed a maximum inactivation factor of 7.1 logs for enveloped viruses. However, a weak inactivation factor (3.4 logs) was obtained for DNA nonenveloped viruses. The combination of high temperature with 3 M KSCN showed a high inactivation factor for all of the viruses studied. The total clearance factor was 23.1, 15.1, 13.6, 20.0 and 16.0 logs for sendaivirus, HIV-IIIb, human poliovirus type-II, human herpesvirus I and canine parvovirus, respectively.

Background: Identification and management of hypertension is one of the most common problems for primary care providers. Rural settings have increased rates of hypertension due to a variety of factors including access to care, socioeconomic factors, and restricted strategies to identify hypertension outside of the clinic setting. To address this challenge, a self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) program was employed at a rural clinic in South Dakota with a goal of increasing the number of patients with well-controlled blood pressure.

Resident perceptions of learning challenges in concussion care education.

Can Med Educ J

December 2024

Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Queen's University, Ontario, Canada.

Background: Resident-focused curricula that support competency acquisition in concussion care are currently lacking. We sought to fill this gap by developing and evaluating Spiral Integrated Curricula (SIC) using the cognitive constructivism paradigm and the Utilization-Focused Evaluation (UFE) framework. The evidence-based curricula consisted of academic half-days (AHDs) and clinics for first- and second-year family medicine residents.

December 2024

Department of Food Science and Technology, Texas A&M AgriLife Research, College Station, TX 77843, USA.

This study investigated the survival and growth of in onion extracts and bulbs. The inhibition or retardation of growth by extracts of red, white, and yellow onions was tested against the onion germplasm and exposure to different light spectra during curing. Separately, survival of Newport was tested on red, white, and yellow onion bulbs on the external and internal onion layers with a syringe and needle.

Implementing a workplace participatory approach to support working caregivers in balancing their work, private life and informal care: results of a process evaluation.

BMC Public Health

January 2025

National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, Center for Prevention, Lifestyle and Health, Department Behaviour and Health, Antonie van Leeuwenhoeklaan 9, Bilthoven, 3721 MA, The Netherlands.

Background: Many organizations are faced with growing numbers of employees who combine their jobs with informal caregiving responsibilities. To support working caregivers in maintaining a good balance between work, private life and informal care, a workplace participatory approach (PA) intervention was implemented in four Dutch organizations. This study's aims were to evaluate the degree of PA implementation, contextual factors influencing implementation, and stakeholder experiences with the PA.
