A polystyrene (PS)-based composite resin dosimeter (CRD) film comprising 2-(phenylamino)-6-(dipentylamino)-3-methylspiro[9-xanthene-9,3'-phthalide] (Black305) fluoran leuco dye, cerium-doped yttrium aluminum perovskite YAlO:Ce (YAP:Ce) scintillator, and 2-(4-methoxystyryl)-4,6-bis(trichloromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine (MBTT) photoacid generator was developed for the visualization of X-ray exposure doses in the range of 18-170 Gy. The color of the CRD film changed from yellow to black within this range based on the X-ray exposure dose. A CRD film based on Black305/YAP:Ce/MBTT/PS could be used to produce a dosimeter with various color change sensitivities by controlling the thermodynamic parameters of the constituent materials. A CRD film is a promising tool for measuring the X-ray exposure dose and can be used as an alternative to the existing radiochromic dosimeters.

Introduction: Visceral motor responses (VMR) to graded colorectal distension (CRD) have been extensively implemented to assess the level of visceral pain in awake rodents, which are inevitably confounded by movement artifacts and cannot be conveniently implemented to assess invasive neuromodulation protocols for treating visceral pain. In this report, we present an optimized protocol with prolonged urethane infusion that enables robust and repeatable recordings of VMR to CRD in mice under deep anesthesia, providing a two-hour window to objectively assess the efficacy of visceral pain management strategies.
Methods: During all surgical procedures, C57BL/6 mice of both sexes (8-12 weeks, 25-35 g) were anesthetized with 2% isoflurane inhalation.

The development of biobased antioxidant active packaging has been valued by the food industry for complying with environmental and food waste concerns. In this work, physicochemical properties for chitosan composite films as a potential active food packaging were investigated. Chitosan films were prepared by solution casting, plasticized with a 1:2 choline chloride: glycerol mixture as a deep eutectic solvent (DES) and incorporated with 0-10% of optimized açaí oil polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs).

Content and trigger warnings give information about the content of material prior to receiving it. Different typologies of content warnings have emerged across multiple sectors, including health, social media, education and entertainment. Benefits arising from their use are contested, with recent empirical evidence from educational sectors suggesting they may raise anxiety and reinforce the centrality of trauma experience to identity, whilst benefits relate to increased individual agency in making informed decisions about engaging with content.
