Published: November 1992

Polymerized, pyridoxalated stroma-free hemoglobin (Poly PSFH), made from outdated human blood, has excellent attributes for use as a blood substitute. A hypothetical larger scale process for the production of Poly PSFH is detailed, and facility design and cost estimates are presented. This paper gives the opportunity to discuss the engineering activities of process scope definition, utilities selection, and aseptic processing techniques, etc. Compliance with cGMP and other FDA regulation will also be discussed.

Early and precise diagnosis of cancer is pivotal for effective therapeutic intervention. Traditional diagnostic methods, despite their reliability, often face limitations such as invasiveness, high costs, labor-intensive procedures, extended processing times, and reduced sensitivity for early-stage detection. Electrochemical biosensing is a revolutionary method that provides rapid, cost-effective, and highly sensitive detection of cancer biomarkers.

Neonicotinoids are systemic insecticides used in agriculture. In particular, imidacloprid (IM) and thiamethoxam (TM) have selective toxicity to insects, and they have been implicated in the steep decline of the global honeybee population, specifically in colony collapse disorder (CCD). Some scientific reports have shown that a significant amount of honey worldwide contains traces of neonicotinoids, at levels strong enough to cause damage to bees.

Supporting the home care workforce across the Southern United States: impetus, exploration, and policy strategies.

Southern states face severe home care labor shortages due to low wages, poor working conditions, and limited career advancement opportunities, which are exacerbated by the region's historical labor policies and economic inequalities. This study analyzed workforce size in relation to the population of older adults likely to require paid home care services, subsequently contextualizing those results using a thematic analysis of state American Rescue Plan Act section 9817 spending plans to identify trends in proposed initiatives designed to strengthen the workforce across the region. Our findings highlight significant disparities in workforce availability, with more diverse areas with higher concentrations of Hispanic, immigrant, and low-income populations exhibiting higher workforce capacity compared with less diverse regions.

Objective: This paper aims to address the need for real-time malaria disease detection that integrates a faster prediction model with a robust underlying network. The study first proposes a 5G network-based healthcare system and then develops an automated malaria detection model capable of providing an accurate diagnosis, particularly in areas with limited diagnostic resources.

Methods: The proposed system leverages a deep learning-based YOLOv5x algorithm to detect malaria parasites in thick and thin blood smear samples.

Peptides are highly receptor-affine molecules exhibiting suitable pharmacokinetics. Additionally, low-cost production, simple protocols allowing easy modifications, and tolerance toward harsh reaction conditions make peptides ideal ligands for preparation of radiopharmaceuticals for cancer detection and treatment. However, natural peptides being substrates for enzymes are susceptible to proteolysis, which limits the lifetime and the target uptake.
