We report a pediatric case of ecstasy intoxication via an unusual route. A mother called the emergency services after her daughter had inserted an ecstasy pill into her nose. During transportation, the child developed hypertension, tachycardia, and tachypnea. She was admitted to the nearest regional hospital, where a physical examination revealed psychomotor agitation, mydriasis, hypertension, tachycardia, and no hyperthermia. Blood tests showed no abnormalities. She was subsequently transferred to a tertiary-level pediatric hospital. During transportation, she was described as being intensely agitated with persistent mydriasis, tachycardia, and high blood pressure. Urinary toxicological screening confirmed the presence of MDMA. She was discharged after 24 h.

Streptococcus suis is a porcine pathogen that causes severe zoonotic infections in humans resulting in meningitis and sepsis. The main risk factors for S. suis zoonotic infections are consumption of raw pork products and direct contact with live pigs or pork, in particular in the presence of skin injuries.

Solid frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) shows remarkable advantages in the activation of small molecules such as CO, owing to the strong orbital interactions between FLP sites and reactant molecules. However, most of the currently constructed FLP sites are randomly distributed and easily reunited on the surface of catalysts, resulting in a low utilization rate of FLP sites. Herein, atomic tungsten-based FLP (N···W FLP) sites are constructed for photocatalytic CO conversion through introducing W single-atoms into polymeric carbon nitride.

Article Synopsis
- Xanthanolides, or seco-guaianolides, are unique compounds known for their diverse biological activities and typically have a lactone ring structure known as a 12,8-olide.
- The study uncovered the complete biosynthetic pathway for 8-epi-xanthatin, revealing that its structure originates from germacrene A acid through an oxidative process guided by a special cytochrome P450 enzyme.
- This new understanding of xanthanolide biosynthesis contrasts with previous findings about 12,6-guaianolides and paves the way for using synthetic biology to produce xanthanolides in microbes.

Nanophotonic structures have shown promising routes to controlling and enhancing nonlinear optical processes at the nanoscale. However, most nonlinear nanostructures require a handling substrate, reducing their application scope. Due to the underwhelming heat dissipation, it has been a challenge to evaluate the nonlinear optical properties of free-standing nanostructures.

, or Group A (GAS), is responsible for over 500,000 deaths per year. Approximately 15% of these deaths are caused by necrotizing soft-tissue infections. In 2008, we isolated an M5 GAS, named the LO1 strain, responsible for the nosocomial transmission of necrotizing fasciitis between a baby and a nurse in Belgium.
