A sensitive and selective method was developed for the determination of N-acetyl-p-aminophenol (APAP) and p-aminophenol (PAP) using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry were used to investigate the electrochemical reaction of APAP and PAP at the modified electrode. Both APAP and PAP showed quasireversible redox reactions with formal potentials of 367 mV and 101 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl), respectively, in phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.0. The significant peak potential difference (266 mV) between APAP and PAP enabled the simultaneous determination both species based on differential pulse voltammetry. The voltammetric responses gave linear ranges of 1.0×10(-6)-1.0×10(-4) mol L(-1) and 4.0×10(-6)-3.2×10(-4) mol L(-1), with detection limits of 4.0×10(-7) mol L(-1) and 1.2×10(-6) mol L(-1) for APAP and PAP, respectively. The method was successfully applied for the determination of APAP and PAP in pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is characterized by the accumulation of surfactant material in alveoli. Few aPAP cases with a history of dust inhalation show both paves stone-like changes and micronodules in the chest CT scan. We present a 52-year-old male patient withsilicosis complicated with aPAP due to long-term dust inhalation during the construction of bridge piers columns.

Article Synopsis
- Untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients increases health risks, making diagnosis and treatment difficult in this demographic.
- The study involved 27 AIS inpatients at Cleveland Clinic, where portable monitoring (PM) was used to identify OSA, and those with severe cases were offered therapy called auto-titrating positive airway pressure (APAP).
- Despite high ratings for ease of use of the PM device, only a small percentage of patients continued using the APAP treatment consistently, revealing significant barriers and the need for more research on better screening and treatment strategies for OSA in AIS patients.

Article Synopsis
- This study compares the effectiveness of first-line auto-adjusting positive airway pressure (aPAP) therapy and second-line hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) therapy for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients who meet specific criteria.
- Both therapies were analyzed based on pre- and post-treatment data, showing that after treatment, aPAP significantly reduced the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) compared to HGNS, which had a higher AHI post-treatment.
- Despite the higher AHI in the HGNS group, patients reported feeling less sleepy after treatment than those using aPAP, suggesting that HGNS may improve subjective sleepiness even if it doesn't reduce apnea events as much.

The present study focuses on the application of fungal-based microbial fuel cells (FMFC) for the degradation of organic pollutants including Acetaminophen (APAP), Para-aminophenol (PAP), Sulfanilamide (SFA), and finally Methylene Blue (MB). The objective is to investigate the patterns of degradation (both individually and as a mixture solution) of the four compounds in response to fungal metabolic processes, with an emphasis on evaluating the possibility of generating energy. Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) has been used for electrochemical analysis of the targeted compounds on a Glassy Carbon Electrode (GCE).

Electronic address:
Background: Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of surfactants in the alveoli. Most cases are classified as autoimmune PAP (APAP) because they are associated with autoantibodies against granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). However, GM-CSF autoantibody levels are unlikely to correlate with the disease severity or prognosis of APAP.
