Decapod crustaceans, commonly utilised for pure or applied scientific research and commercial food production, have generally remained outside ethical debate. However, in the last decade many parts of the world have seen an increase in public interest in the welfare of decapod crustaceans and statutory legal protection has been introduced in several countries. Although still limited to a small number of countries and remaining relatively unharmonised, relevant legislation could be increasingly broadened to include decapods in further jurisdictions.

Background: The management of uncertainty is a core general practice skill best learnt in clinical practice.

Objective: This article outlines strategies a general practice supervisor can implement to help registrars acquire the skills of managing and coping with uncertainty.

Discussion: The medical education literature recommends supervisors being explicit about the different paradigm operating in primary care and normalising the existence and tolerance of uncertainty.

PET imaging of GABA receptors in pancreatic islets by [C]flumazenil.

EJNMMI Res

December 2024

Department of Medical Cell Biology, Department of Medical Sciences, Science for Life Laboratory, Uppsala University, Box 571, 75123, Uppsala, Sweden.

Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a progressive β-cell destruction. There are no clinically established methods for quantifying endocrine cells of the pancreas and current knowledge is almost exclusively based on autopsy material and functional measurements. Based on the expression of the γ-aminobutyric acid A receptors (GABARs) in pancreatic islets and the fact that GABAR agonists are being explored as treatment for T1D, we hypothesized that the positron emission tomography (PET) tracer [C]flumazenil ([C]FMZ) could serve as a marker of the endocrine mass of the pancreas.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
  • - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
  • - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.

Are Repeat-Dose Toxicity Studies Informative for Safety Assessment of Vaccine Candidates? A Survey of Vaccine Developers.

Int J Toxicol

October 2024

Preclinical Sciences and Translational Safety, JnJ Innovative Medicine, Janssen R&D LLC, A Johnson & Johnson Company, Beerse, Belgium.

A BioSafe-sponsored survey investigated how vaccine companies (n = 12) perceive the value of the repeat-dose toxicity studies for safety assessment of vaccine candidates. As all major vaccine developers were part of the survey, it was considered representative for the industry practices up to 2022. Vaccine developers indicated that they see scientific value in performing repeat-dose toxicity studies with vaccines, especially when novel components (e.
