CONCLUSION Results suggest that color, shape, and size of solid form of oral medications are important predictors of patients' acceptance. It can not only be expressed in monetary value, but also may serve as an important hint for companies designing new drugs, or policymakers who are happy to improve patient adherence with better prescribing, or dispensing. However, our findings are probably country-specific, and further research is necessary to better understand the relationship between solid drug characteristics, and patient's preferences across countries.Wild migratory birds are often implicated in the introduction, maintenance, and global dissemination of different pathogens, such as influenza A viruses (IAV) and antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria. Trapping of migratory birds during their resting periods at the northern coast of Egypt is a common and ancient practice performed mainly for selling in live bird markets (LBM). In the present study, samples were collected from 148 wild birds, representing 14 species, which were being offered for sale in LBM. All birds were tested for the presence of AIV and enterobacteriaceae. Ten samples collected from Northern Shoveler birds (Spatula clypeata) were positive for IAV and PCR sub-typing and pan HA/NA sequencing assays detected H5N8, H9N2, and H6N2 viruses in four, four, and one birds, respectively. Sequencing of the full haemagglutinin (HA) gene revealed a high similarity with currently circulating IAV in Egypt. From all the birds, E.coli was recovered from 37.2% and Salmonella from 20.2%, with 66%-96% and 23%-43% isolates being resistant to at least one of seven selected critically important antimicrobials (CIA), respectively. The presence of enzootic IAV and the wide prevalence of AMR enterobacteriaceae in wild birds highlight the potential role of LBM in the spread of different pathogens from and to wild birds. Continued surveillance of both AIV and antimicrobial-resistant enterobacteriaceae in wild birds' habitats is urgently needed.A microfluidic chip, which can separate and enrich leukocytes from whole blood, is proposed. The chip has 10 switchback curve channels, which are connected by straight channels. The straight channels are designed to permit the inertial migration effect and to concentrate the blood cells, while the curve channels allow the Dean flow to further classify the blood cells based on the cell sizes. Hydrodynamic suction is also utilized to remove smaller blood cells (e.g., red blood cell (RBC)) in the curve channels for higher separation purity. By employing the inertial migration, Dean flow force, and hydrodynamic suction in a continuous flow system, our chip successfully separates large white blood cells (WBCs) from the whole blood with the processing rates as high as 1 × 108 cells/sec at a high recovery rate at 93.2% and very few RBCs (~0.1%).Previous studies merely focus on the hot dipping properties of lead frame materials used in electronic industry. Yet, the environmentally friendly and cost-efficient traits of hot-dipped tinning process make it a possible promising surface modification technique compared with electroplating. As a result, the optimal hot-dipped tinning process routine is proposed in this paper. The hot-dipped tinning process of four different types of copper foils (C11000, C19400, C19210, and C70250), pretreatment parameters, mechanical properties of Cu substrates, thickness of IMC (intermetallic compound) layers and coatings, and microstructure of coatings were investigated to determine the copper substrate suitable for hot-dipped tinning and the optimized tinning procedures. The results indicate that a proper increase in alloying elements (e.g., Cu-Fe-P series alloys) towards Cu substrate leads to a decrease in hot dipping performance. The proper process routine is determined as alkaline cleaning→water scrubbing→accelerant solvent dipping→drying→hot-dipped tinning→cooling. The appropriate dipping temperature range is 260 to 280 °C, which assists to maintain acceptable micro hardness (i.e., maintaining at least 95% of the original hardness). The optimal dipping time should be set as 6-10 s. The proposed hot-dipped tinning process routine may present a guideline for the fabrication of tin coating in electronic industry.Japanese Black cattle (Wagyu) beef is characterized by high intramuscular fat content and has a characteristic sweet taste. However, the chemical components for characterizing the sweet taste of Wagyu beef have been unclear. In this experiment, we conducted a metabolomic analysis of the longissimus muscle (sirloin) in Wagyu and Holstein cattle to determine the key components associated with beef taste using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Holstein sirloin beef was characterized by the abundance of components such as glutamine, ribose-5-phosphate, uric acid, inosine monophosphate, 5-oxoproline, and glycine. In contrast, Wagyu sirloin beef was characterized by the abundance of sugar components (maltose and xylitol). Dietary fat is known to increase the intensity of sweet taste. These results suggest that the sweet taste of Wagyu beef is due to the synergetic effects of higher sugar components and intramuscular fat.The article is devoted to the construction of lattice endoprosthesis for a long bone. Clinically, the main idea is to design a construction with the ability to improve bone growth. The article presents the algorithm for such a design. The construction should be produced by additive manufacturing. Such an approach allows using not only metallic materials but also ceramics and polymers. The algorithm is based on the influence function as a method to describe the elementary cell geometry. Navitoclax cost The elementary cell can be described by a number of parameters. The influence function maps the parameters to local stress in construction. Changing the parameters influences the stress distribution in the endoprosthesis. In the paper, a bipyramid was used as an elementary cell. Numerical studies were performed using the finite element method. As a result, manufacturing construction is described. Some problems for different orientations of growth are given. The clinical test was done and histological results were presented.
