β-Lactam/β-lactamase inhibitors (BL/BLIs) are widely used in critically ill patients. Recent research has shown the importance of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of BLs, but few studies have highlighted the importance of detecting BLIs in critically ill patients. In our laboratory, we have developed and validated a simple and robust method for the determination of ceftazidime, cefoperazone, piperacillin, avibactam, sulbactam and tazobactam in human plasma by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).

Background And Objectives: Apheresis platelets products and plasma are essential for medical interventions, but both still have inherent risks associated with contamination and viral transmission. Platelet products are vulnerable to bacterial contamination due to storage conditions, while plasma requires extensive screening to minimize virus transmission risks. Here we investigate rapid irradiation to sterilizing doses for bacteria and viruses as an innovative pathogen reduction technology.

Radiotherapy (RT) has been shown to be a cornerstone of both palliative and curative tumor care. RT has generally been reported to be sharply limited by ionizing radiation (IR)-induced toxicity, thereby constraining the control effect of RT on tumor growth. FLASH-RT is the delivery of ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) several orders of magnitude higher than what is presently used in conventional RT (CONV-RT).

This work presents the results of a study on the influence of fillers on the neutron absorption capacity of materials made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Composite materials based on UHMWPE were obtained using gas-flame technology with the addition of powdered UHMWPE fillers (HBO, WC, and PbO). A radiation cassette has been developed and constructed for conducting studies on the neutron absorption capacity of the material, allowing for the placement of a sample with activation indicators.
