Novel procedures for fenthion hapten synthesis are described following three different strategies. The first one attaches the spacer arm to the oxygen atom of the aromatic fenthion ring. The second one binds it through the thiophosphate moiety and the third strategy consists on the attachment of the spacer arm to the sulfur atom of the molecule. A total of nine fenthion haptens have been synthesized and used for immunoreagent production (protein conjugates and polyclonal antibodies). The developed conjugate-coated format ELISA exhibited a detection limit of 0.03 ng/ml, an IC50 of 0.05 ng/ml and a dynamic range between 0.03 and 1 ng/ml. There was little or no cross-reactivity to similar tested compounds. The ELISA was used to determine fenthion residues in white wine samples without any purification or preconcentration steps. Recoveries ranged between 81% and 113%.

Purpose: Rectal spacers have gained popularity as a dose-sparing material for prostate cancer radiation therapy (RT). However, the procedure can be associated with unintended rectal wall infiltration (RWI) of the spacer gel. We therefore classified RWI severity as a function of depth and explored its association with rectal toxicity using a data set from prostate cancer patients treated with RT on a prospective randomized clinical trial (RCT).

Objective: We aimed to assess the acceptability of Mobile Direct Observed Therapy (MDOT) amongst the parents/caregivers of children with asthma.
Methods: This open-label pilot randomized controlled trial enrolled newly diagnosed children aged 5-15 years with asthma, who were followed up telephonically for six weeks. Parents of children in the intervention arm were requested to record a video of the metered dose inhaler with spacer (MDI-S) technique of their child on a mobile phone and share it through WhatsApp with investigator who then provided corrective measures as required by a text/video message.

ConspectusRigid-rod oligomers and polymers are mostly based on (hetero)aromatic rings connected with each other, either directly or via ethynylene or butadiynylene linkers, or by a combination of both structural elements. Although they are much more rigid than vinyl polymers, they exhibit considerable structural flexibility, often more than would be expected merely from their chemical structure. This disparity holds for both linear as well as for cyclic structures.

Background: Gap tension is an important factor influencing the clinical outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Traditional mechanical alignment (MA) places importance on neutral alignment and often requires additional soft tissue releases, which may be related to patient dissatisfaction. Conversely, the functional alignment requires less soft tissue release to achieve gap balance.
