Objective: To evaluate efficacy of topically applied eprinomectin against inhibited early fourth-stage larvae (IL4) of Ostertagia spp in calves.
Animals: 4 groups (n = 6 [replicates]) for dose titration; 2 groups (n = 8 calves [replicates]) for dose confirmation.
Procedure: 2 dose titration studies-0, 125, 250, and 500 micrograms of eprinomectin/kg of body weight-Louisiana and Georgia- and 2 dose confirmation studies of selected therapeutic dosage (500 micrograms/kg) in Scotland and France. Monitor calves were used to determine inhibition percentage of Ostertagia IL4. Test calves were ranked by weight in replicates of 4 (titration trials) or 2 (confirmation trials) animals each, and within replicates, were randomly allocated to treatment groups. Drug treatments were done on day 0, and animals were euthanatized by replicate, with holding time between treatment and euthanasia varying among trials from 14 to 27 days.
Results: Observations indicated high efficacy (> 99%) of 500 micrograms of eprinomectin/kg in removal of Ostertagia IL4. Ostertagia and Cooperia were only genera common across sites, with efficacy of aforementioned dosage against adult and larval stages of both genera consistently high (> 99%). Results of 1 or both titration studies (500 micrograms/kg) indicated > 99 to 100% efficacy against adult Haemonchus placei, Trichostrongylus axei, T colubriformis, Bunostomum phlebotomum, Dictyocaulus viviparus, and Oesophagostomum radiatum. Lower efficacy values were observed at minimal (125 micrograms/kg) dosage. In France, 500 micrograms/kg was 85% effective against Trichostrongylus spp adults; however, numbers of control calves infected with Trichostrongylus spp and degree of infection were low. Adverse reactions were not evident.
Conclusion: Eprinomectin given topically (500 micrograms) was highly effective against Ostertagia IL4 and other common nematodes of cattle.

Effect of phenylephrine infusion on postpartum blood loss after cesarean delivery: a placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial.

Background: Preclinical studies have documented the role of alpha-adrenergic agonists in myometrial contraction. Phenylephrine is frequently used to prevent and treat post-spinal hypotension during cesarean delivery. We hypothesized phenylephrine would reduce postpartum blood loss due to alpha-1 receptor-mediated uterine and vascular smooth muscle contraction.

Proteins undergo reversible -acylation via a thioester linkage in vivo. -palmitoylation, modification by C16:0 fatty acid, is a common -acylation that mediates critical protein-membrane and protein-protein interactions. The most widely used -acylation assays, including acyl-biotin exchange and acyl resin-assisted capture, utilize blocking of free Cys thiols, hydroxylamine-dependent cleavage of the thioester and subsequent labeling of nascent thiol.

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and acute pulmonary embolism (APE) present a diagnostic challenge in the emergency department (ED) setting. We aimed to identify key clinical characteristics and D-dimer thresholds associated with APE in SARS-CoV-2 positive ED patients.
Methods: We performed a multicenter, retrospective cohort study for adult patients who were diagnosed with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) and had computed tomography pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) performed between March 17, 2020-January 31, 2021.
Development of graphitization method for low carbon aerosol filter samples with Automated Graphitization System AGE-3.

The wide applications of the radiocarbon (C) approach in environmental, archeological, and geological research often necessitates the analysis of microgram-sized samples. The ability to measure low carbon samples is particularly relevant for aerosol particle filters, especially for samples from pristine environments. For this purpose, we investigated the sample dilution method for graphitization of low-carbon samples (20-200 μg C) with an Automated Graphitization System (AGE-3), and applied a mass balance equation for the calculation of C values.
