The influence of boiling, steaming, grilling and sous-vide treatments on bolus properties of vegetables was investigated. Cooking produced potato boluses with large particles or pasty boluses unsuitable for analysis. Celeriac preserved its brittleness and produced more small particles as mastication prolonged. Eggplant and zucchini were similar and both produced relatively large particles throughout the mastication. Saliva incorporation results showed an uncommon trend since boluses from the moment of swallowing did not have the highest moisture content. It was inferred that boiling had similar effects as steaming on one side, and grilling had similar effects as sous-vide on the other.

The ability for snakes to ingest large prey (macrostomy) is a widespread, derived trait that involves distending the skin during ingestion and metabolic upregulation during digestion. The material behavior of the skin must accommodate significant stretch associated with a large prey bolus, but data remain sparse for how the material properties of snake skin vary: longitudinally within an individual, after ingesting large prey and among species. To test whether these three factors affected the mechanical properties of snake skin, we quantified uniaxial stresses and strains in circumferential loops of skin from the neck, mid-body and tail of fasted and recently fed Boa constrictor.

CSL040 is a soluble, recombinant fragment of the complement receptor 1 (CR1) extracellular domain that acts as an inhibitor of all three pathways of the complement system. Systemic toxicity, toxicokinetics (TK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of CSL040 were assessed in two-week intravenous (IV) bolus studies in Han Wistar rats and cynomolgus monkeys. Recovery from any effects was evaluated during a four-week recovery period.

Xylazine exacerbates the respiratory depression induced by fentanyl. Because xylazine is a non-opioid, it is resistant to reversal by opioid receptor antagonists such as naloxone (e.g.
