A Bacillus stearothermophilus var. calidolactis C953 tube test was evaluated for its ability in detecting the residue of selected anticoccidial drugs in poultry, specially sulfamethazine, furazolidone, and amprolium. Various concentrations of each drug were injected into chicken liver and kidney tissues and these tissues were tested to determine the drug detection limits for each drug. The detection limit was defined as the drug concentration at which 95 % of the test results were interpreted as positive. The limits of detection in liver tissue were 0.35 microgram/ml for furazolidone, 0.70 microgram/ml for sulfamethazine and 7.80 microgram/ml for amprolium. In kidney tissues, they were 0.30 microgram/ml for furazolidone, 0.54 microgram/ml for sulfamethazine, and 7.6 microgram/ml for amprolium. It was concluded that this tube test could be used to screen for the residue of these three drugs in poultry.

Impact of Glaucoma Surgery on Corneal Graft Survival After Keratoplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Glaucoma

Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt.
Precis: Glaucoma surgery impacts corneal graft survival differently by procedure type, with GDDs being most effective at reducing intraocular pressure. However, graft survival rates are comparable across trabeculectomy, CPC, and GDDs. Trabeculectomy improves visual acuity best but often requires additional interventions.

Background: Cervical screening, aimed at detecting precancerous lesions and preventing cancer, is based on cytology and HPV testing. Both methods have limitations, the main ones being the variable diagnostic sensitivity of cytology and the moderate specificity of HPV testing. Various molecular biomarkers are proposed in recent years to improve cervical cancer management, including a number of mRNAs encoded by human genes involved in carcinogenesis.

Department of Radiation Oncology, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, United States.
Objectives: Preventing malnutrition during chemoradiation (CRT) for head and neck cancer is critical maximizing quality of life (QOL). We sought to assess patient-reported QOL outcomes after integrating exclusive liquid meal replacement with Soylent, a novel meal replacement agent, in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing CRT.
Methods: Patients undergoing definitive or adjuvant concurrent CRT for locally advanced head and neck cancer enrolled on our single-institution, prospective phase II protocol evaluating nutritional replacement with Soylent.
Identification of anti-c, E alloantibodies with autoantibodies mimicking anti-c, E alloantibodies.

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Shaoxing Central Hospital, Shaoxing, 312030, China.
Objectives: Autoantibodies mimicking alloantibodies (referred to as mimicking antibodies) are a type of specific antibody that reacts with all red blood cells, but exhibits a stronger reaction with red blood cells expressing the target antigens. This study aimed to explore immunohematologic methods for identifying mimicking antibodies, autoantibodies and alloantibodies, and to formulate safe transfusion strategies based on the results.
Methods: ABO, Rh blood types and direct antiglobulin test were determined using the tube saline method.
Accurate puncture of targets in the lower lung lobes with respiratory motion using a teleoperated robotic system and low-dose computed tomography fluoroscopy: an experimental animal study.
Quant Imaging Med Surg

Department of Diagnostic Radiology, First Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Traditional freehand puncture relies on non-real-time computed tomography (CT) images, which significantly affects the accuracy of puncturing targets in the lower lung lobes with respiratory motion. This study aims to assess the safety and feasibility of a teleoperated robotic system and low-dose CT for the accurate real-time puncture of targets in the lungs of live pigs during breathing under fluoroscopic guidance.
Methods: Two puncture methods were analyzed: freehand and robot-assisted.
