Objectives: To examine the association between employee resistance and injury and examine whether type or location of property stolen was associated with employee resistance during commercial robberies in a large metropolitan city.
Methods: Robbery data were abstracted from police crime reports between 2008 and 2012. Log binomial regression models were used to identify predictors of employee resistance and to evaluate the association between employee resistance and injury.
Results: Employees resisted a robber in nearly half of all robbery events. Active employee resistance was significantly associated with employee injury (Adj PR: 1.49, 95% confidence interval, 1.34 to 1.65). Goods being stolen were associated with active employee resistance and employee injury, whereas cash only being stolen was inversely associated with employee injury.
Conclusions: Results suggest that employee training in nonresistance can be an important strategy in protecting employees working with the exchange of cash and goods.

Physicochemical Properties of Curen® Filaments Versus Nylon Filaments in Toothbrush Bristles: An In Vitro Study.
Cureus
December 2024
Medical Affairs, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., Hyderabad, IND.
Background Toothbrush manufacturers commonly use bristle materials such as nylon, polybutylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, boar hair, bamboo, carbon fiber, silicone, polylactic acid, or their modifications such as Curen. Nylon filaments have long been demonstrated to be durable and are widely used, but not much is known regarding the performance of Curen filaments compared to nylon filaments. This in vitro study compared the stiffness, abrasion potential, abrasion resistance, and bristle surface changes of Curen and nylon filaments.

Challenges in drug development for rare diseases such as pulmonary arterial hypertension can be addressed through the use of mathematical modeling. In this study, a quantitative systems pharmacology model of pulmonary arterial hypertension pathophysiology and pharmacology was used to predict changes in pulmonary vascular resistance and six-minute walk distance in the context of oral treprostinil clinical studies. We generated a virtual population that spanned the range of clinical observations and then calibrated virtual patient-specific weights to match clinical trials.

In this study, we evaluated the combined effect between MLE-15, a modular lytic enzyme composed of four building blocks, and reline, a natural deep eutectic solvent. The bioinformatic analysis allowed us to determine the spatial architecture of MLE-15, whose components were bactericidal peptide cecropin A connected via a flexible linker to the cell wall binding domain (CBD) of mesophilic 201ϕ2 - 1 endolysin and catalytic domain (EAD) of highly thermostable Ph2119 endolysin. The modular enzyme showed high thermostability with the melting temperature of 93.

Introduction: Racial disparities in prostate cancer (PC) are well studied among Black or African American (BAA) patients but not among Hispanics, a quickly growing US minority group. This study compared overall survival (OS) and healthcare resource utilization (HRU) by race in Medicaid-insured patients with metastatic castration-sensitive PC (mCSPC) and metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective longitudinal cohort study of Medicaid claims was conducted to estimate racial disparities in OS (with a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model) and in HRU (with a multivariable Poisson model), adjusting for confounding by demographic and clinical characteristics.

Background And Aims: Vitamin D binding protein (DBP) serves a dual function as a vitamin D carrier and actin scavenger. Free DBP is present in high concentrations in serum, while a smaller pool is bound to lipoproteins like HDL and VLDL. The role of DBP's interaction with lipoproteins remains unclear.
