Simon Rippon, revising an earlier argument against kidney sales, now claims that offers involving the performance of invasive acts, when extended to people under pressure, constitute a kind of rights violation, Impermissibly Disrespectful Demands. Since offers involving kidney sales so qualify, Rippon finds prima facie reason to prohibit them. The present article levels four independent objections to Rippon's argument: the account of Impermissibly Disrespectful Demands implausibly condemns kidney donation as much as kidney sales; the normative importance of having autonomous veto control over bodily incursions does not plausibly underwrite a right to not be extended invasive offers under pressure; Impermissibly Disrespectful Demands can easily be transformed into innocuous offers; and the prohibition has greater welfare costs than Rippon acknowledges.

The Final Rule in a Bind: What We Are Learning From Suboptimal Simultaneous Heart-Kidney Outcomes and Potential Solutions to the Problem.
Transplantation
November 2024
Division of Nephrology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ.
Background: The 2018 revision of the adult Heart Allocation Policy (aHAP) led to a notable increase in the rate of simultaneous heart-kidney transplants (SHKT) in the United States. However, this policy has faced criticism for its inability to enhance post-transplant survival rates or decrease mortality among SHKT recipients on the waitlist, although high-quality kidneys are used.
Methods: We analyzed data from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, covering 1549 SHKT cases from 2015 to 2021.
Cyclodextrin modified biocompatible Chitosan-Cinnamaldehyde Schiff base hydrogels: Their antibacterial, antioxidant, and drug delivery potential.

Soft Matter Research Group, Physical Chemistry Section, Department of Chemistry, University of Kashmir, Hazratbal, Srinagar 190006, J&K, India. Electronic address:
Chitosan (CS)-based hydrogels are promising platforms for drug delivery owing to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and functional versatility. However, pure CS Schiff base hydrogels lack mechanical strength and rely on toxic cross-linkers, necessitating bio-safe alternatives viz. Cinnamaldehyde (CA).

Jpn J Ophthalmol
February 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Juntendo University Graduate School of Medicine, 2-1-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, 113-0033, Japan.
Purpose: This retrospective observational study aimed to investigate the longitudinal changes in renal function and central macular thickness (CMT) and their impact on visual outcomes during anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy for diabetic macular edema (DME).
Study Design: This study employed a retrospective observational design and analyzed data from treatment-naive patients with DME (62 cases, 100 eyes) receiving anti-VEGF therapy for 36 months. Baseline and follow-up assessments were conducted at 12, 24, and 36 months.
Combined effect of mercury and ammonia toxicity and its mitigation through selenium nanoparticles in fish.

ICAR-National Institute of Abiotic Stress Management, Baramati, Pune 413115, India. Electronic address:
An experiment was conducted to mitigate mercury and ammonia toxicity (Hg + NH₃) in Oreochromis niloticus (GIFT strain) using selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs). The Se-NPs were synthesized using green methods, employing fish waste as the substrate. Experimental diets were prepared by supplementing Se-NPs at 0, 0.

The processing of beans begins with a particularly time-consuming procedure, the hydration of the seeds. Ultrasonic treatment (US) represents a potential environmentally friendly method for process acceleration, while near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) is a proposedly suitable non-invasive monitoring tool to assess compositional changes. Our aim was to examine the hydration process of red kidney beans of varying sizes and origins.
