Intoxicated driving is a threat to both drivers and other road users. Exploring the association between intoxicated driving factors and traffic crashes is essential for taking effective countermeasures. Most previous works have studied the relation between intoxicated driving and traffic crash based on some large-sized cities. The current study aims to evaluate the effect of driving factors on traffic crashes among intoxicated drivers in a small-sized city in China. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression analysis are performed to guide the study, and the data (N=1010) for the period 2016-2017 in Wujiang (i.e., a small-sized city in China) are employed as the target samples. The results demonstrate age, years of driving experience, road position, week, hour and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) are associated with traffic crashes in Wujiang. Specifically, the age of "18-25", the years of driving experience of "≤2", the "road intersection", the "weekend", the period of "0:00-6:59" and the BAC of "above 150 mg/100 mL" are more likely to cause traffic crashes among intoxicated drivers. The findings can be referred to make some targeted policies or measures to relieve Wujiang's intoxicated driving situation and reduce the number of crashes caused by intoxicated driving.

Microalgae have well-established health benefits for farmed fish. Thus, this study aims to explore the potential protective effects of , is, and against pyrogallol-induced hematological, hepatic, and renal biomarkers in African catfish (), as well as the histopathological changes in the liver and kidney. Fish weighing 200 ± 25 g were divided into several groups: group 1 served as the control, group 2 was exposed to 10 mg/L of pyrogallol, and groups 3, 4, and 5 were exposed to the same concentration of pyrogallol, supplemented with at 20 g/kg diet, is at 50 g/kg diet, and at 5 g/kg diet, respectively, for 15 days.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on developing a smartphone-web app aimed at supporting DWI offenders and their concerned family members (CFMs) during and after the use of ignition interlock devices (IIDs).
- Key findings from interviews and focus groups revealed that both DWI offenders and CFMs face challenges such as a lack of information, financial strain, and the importance of supportive communication, leading to the creation of four app modules.
- Usability testing showed that the app was user-friendly and met the needs of its target audience, highlighting the need for further research to assess its effectiveness.

The relationship between chronic heavy drinking and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is well-documented; however, the impact of more common drinking patterns, such as a single episode leading to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.09 g/dL (moderate intoxication), remains underexplored. Given the frequent co-occurrence of PTSD and alcohol misuse, it is essential to understand the biological and behavioral factors driving this comorbidity.

Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) is an exceptionally potent neurotoxin of great therapeutic value; however, it is also considered a weapon of mass destruction, as it is one of the most poisonous biological substances known to man. The etiology behind BoNT/A is its action as a zinc-dependent protease, which can cause extended paralysis through the cleavage of SNARE proteins. Thiosemicarbazones, known zinc chelators, provide a privileged scaffold that can be leveraged for the development of BoNT/A LC inhibitors.
