I-ioflupane (DaTSCAN®, GE) is a well-known ready-to-use radiopharmaceutical employed as a visualizing tool of the brain dopamine transporter receptor distribution. According to the Summary of Product Characteristics recommendations, we evaluated the stability of the DaTSCAN® after a 0.9% sodium chloride solution dilution. No significant increase in free I-iodide was revealed between diluted and undiluted samples over a 1-h timeframe. This stability in sodium chloride can compensate for potential dilution error and offers a suitable alternative method for syringing DaTSCAN®.

Butyrate may decrease intestinal inflammation and diarrhea. This study investigates the impact of oral application of sodium butyrate (NaB) and tributyrin (TB) on colonic butyrate concentration, SCFA transporter expression, colonic absorptive function, barrier properties, inflammation, and microbial composition in the colon of slc26a3 mice, a mouse model for inflammatory diarrhea. In vivo fluid absorption and bicarbonate secretory rates were evaluated in the cecum and mid-colon of slc26a3 and slc26a3 mice before and during luminal perfusion of NaB-containing saline and were significantly stimulated in both slc26a3 and slc26a3 colon by NaB.

A paper-based potentiometric sensor integrated with a polymeric hydrogel has been developed for sodium ion (Na) determination in human urine. The construction of an all-solid-state ion selective electrode (s-ISE) and an all-solid-state reference electrode (s-RE) on a photo paper substrate was achieved using an inkjet printing method. For s-ISE fabrication, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were printed on the substrate as a nanocomposite solid contact.

Background: A 12-month cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) demonstrated the effectiveness of an application-based education program in reducing the salt intake and systolic blood pressure (SBP) of schoolchildren's adult family members. This study aimed to assess whether the effect at 12 months persisted at 24 months.
Methods: Fifty-four schools were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group.
