Context: Dihydroxylammonium 5,5'-biotetrazolium-1,1'-diolate (TKX-50) has two important properties of typical azole energy-containing ionic salts, including high energy and safety. Therefore, in today's era where more emphasis is placed on explosive performance and explosive detonation control conditions, TKX-50 is a very important object of research, and its reaction process in the initial stage of detonation is gradually receiving more and more attention from researchers in the field of energy-containing materials research.

Methods: In this paper, based on first-principles density-functional theory (DFT), the mechanism of chemical bond breakage of TKX-50 under pressure was determined based on the analysis of the strength and stability of chemical bonds inside the TKX-50 molecules using Raman spectroscopy relative intensity analysis. The results show that TKX-50 is dominated by N-H bond breaking and followed by H-O bond breaking in the initial reaction stage. These reactions lead to the reorganization and structural changes within the molecule, which eventually lead to the decomposition of TKX-50.

Background: As the COVID-19 pandemic has affected populations around the world, there has been substantial interest in wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) as a tool to monitor the spread of SARS-CoV-2. This study investigates the use of WBE to anticipate COVID-19 trends by analyzing the correlation between viral RNA concentrations in wastewater and reported COVID-19 cases in the Veneto region of Italy.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the cumulative sum (CUSUM) control chart method in detecting changes in SARS-CoV-2 concentrations in wastewater and its potential as an early warning system for COVID-19 outbreaks.

Infectious complications in peritoneal dialysis (PD) remain a constant challenge, with atypical pathogens posing significant risks. This case from Thailand highlights the rare occurrence of , an often-overlooked non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), as the causative agent in a catheter-related exit-site infection that progressed to peritonitis. Initially misattributed to  from preceding exit-site infections, was ultimately identified as the primary pathogen through multiple effluent cultures and advance polymerase chain reaction sequencing.

Introduction: A reported penicillin allergy reduces the likelihood that the patient will receive first-line surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP), which can increase the risk of developing a surgical site infection (SSI). This project aimed to increase the use of first-line SAP agents in orthopedic and pediatric surgery patients with a reported penicillin allergy.

Methods: The Institute for Healthcare Improvement quality improvement methodology was followed.

Testing of candidate monoclonal antibody therapeutics in preclinical models is an essential step in drug development. Identification of antibody therapeutic candidates that bind their human targets and cross-react to mouse orthologs is often challenging, especially for targets with low sequence homology. In such cases, surrogate antibodies that bind mouse orthologs must be used.
