Topic: To compare face masking protocols for post-intravitreal injection endophthalmitis (PIE) prophylaxis.
Clinical Relevance: Though mask mandates are lifted, ophthalmologists may question whether continued investment into face masks will influence their PIE rate.
Methods/literature Reviewed: We included comparative studies of PIE incidence by masking policy (i.
This paper summarizes several attractive surface acoustic wave (SAW) biosensors, including Love-wave sensors, dual-channel SAW sensors, langasite SAW sensors, and SAW syringe filters. SAW sensors with different piezoelectric materials and high-frequency SAW sensors used for identifying the food pathogenic bacteria () are discussed together with the examples of methods based on such sensing technology that have been effectively utilized in diagnostics and epidemiological research. This review also emphasizes some of the limitations of using these biosensors, which have prompted the increased need for more rapid, sensitive, selective, portable, power-efficient, and low-cost methods for detecting these pathogens.

This study presents a gas chromatographic detector using alternating current (AC) discharged in air to generate μ-arc at atmosphereic pressure. This air-based μ-arc emission detector (μ-AED) was assembled by two stainless-steel syringe needles inside a quartz tube. The length of μ-arc (i.

Repurposing therapeutic agents with existing clinical data is a common strategy for developing radiation countermeasures. IEPA (imidazolyl ethanamide pentandioic acid) is an orally bioavailable small molecule pseudopeptide with myeloprotective properties, a good clinical safety profile, and stable chemical characteristics facilitating stockpiling. Here, we evaluated IEPA's radiomitigative efficacy in the hematopoietic subsyndrome of acute radiation syndrome (H-ARS) using total-body irradiation (TBI) models in C57BL/6J mice and WAG/RijCmcr rats, applying various posology schemes and introducing syringe feeding of the IEPA formulation in the pudding.
