Conventional application of high throughput techniques for formulation development have been limited to lower protein concentrations, which are not applicable to late stage development of high concentration therapeutics. In this work, we present a high throughput (HT) formulation workflow that enables screening at representative concentrations via integration of a micro-buffer exchange system with automated analytical instruments. The operational recommendations associated with the use of such HT systems as well as the efficiencies gained (reduction in hands-on time and run time by over 70% and 30%, respectively), which enable practical characterization of an expanded formulation design space, are discussed. To demonstrate that the workflow is fit for purpose, the formulation properties and stability profiles (SEC and CEX) from samples generated by the HT workflow were compared to those processed by ultrafiltration/diafiltration, and the results were shown to be in good agreement. This approach was further applied to two case studies, one focused on a formulation screen that studied the effects of pH and excipient on viscosity and stability, and the other focused on selection of an appropriate viscosity mimic solution for a protein product.
AKI is a known complication of PCI and is associated with higher rates of adverse events. We assessed temporal trends in rates of AKI, factors associated with risk of AKI and prognosis.

From a prospective registry of patients undergoing PCI at two hospitals of the Rabin Medical Center, 15,153 consecutive patients were assessed at two time periods 2006-2012 and 2012-2018. #link# AKI was defined as either a relative elevation of ≥25% in serum creatinine or an absolute elevation of ≥0.5mg/dl in serum creatinine at 48h post PCI.

Data for 7913 patients from 2006 to 2012 and 7240 during 2012-2018 was available for analysis. Mean age was 65.0±11.9y and 66.0±12.3y (p<0.001) and baseline creatinine was 1.08±0.87mg/dl and 1.15±0.97mg/dl, respectively (p<0.001). Rates of AKI were 11.1% in the early and 7.3% in the late period (p<0.001). Following adjustment, risk of AKI was lower in the late period (OR- 0.72; 95% CI 0.61-0.85, p<0.001). AKI was associated with increased MACE (HR 1.62; 95% CI 1.44-1.82, p<0.001 for the early period and HR 2.11; 95% CI 1.80-2.46, P<0.001 for the late period) and death (HR 1.86; 95% CI 1.64-2.11, p<0.001; HR 2.4; 95% CI 2.02-2.86; p<0.001) in both time periods.

Over time, there was an improvement in the rates of post-PCI AKI. Increased adverse outcomes were evident at both periods. Further research is warranted, to further reduce peri-procedural AKI which is associated with impaired prognosis.

However, among ion channels, the mechanisms of intracellular regulation and transport of Mg2+ are poorly understood. MgtE is a homodimeric Mg2+-selective channel and is negatively regulated by high intracellular Mg2+ concentration where the cytoplasmic domain of MgtE acts as a Mg2+ sensor. Most of the previous biophysical studies on MgtE have been carried out in detergent micelles and the information regarding gating-related structural dynamics of MgtE in physiologically-relevant membrane environment is scarce. In this work, we monitored the changes in gating-related structural dynamics, hydration dynamics and conformational heterogeneity of MgtE in micelles and membranes using the intrinsic site-directed Trp fluorescence. For this purpose, we have engineered six single-Trp mutants in the functional Trp-less background of MgtE to obtain site-specific information on the gating-related structural dynamics of MgtE in membrane-mimetic systems. Our results indicate that Mg2+-induced gating might involve the possibility of a 'conformational wave' from the cytosolic N-domain to transmembrane domain of MgtE. Although MgtE is responsive to Mg2+-induced gating in both micelles and membranes, the organization and dynamics of MgtE is substantially altered in physiologically important phospholipid membranes compared to micelles. This is accompanied by significant changes in hydration dynamics and conformational heterogeneity. Overall, our results highlight the importance of lipid-protein interactions and are relevant for understanding gating mechanism of magnesium channels in general, and MgtE in particular.Objective Emergency general surgery (EGS) patients experience superior outcomes when cared for within an acute surgical unit (ASU) model. EGS structures in most Australian hospitals remain unknown. This study aimed to describe the national spectrum of EGS models. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed of all Australian public hospitals of medium or greater peer group (>2000 patient separations per annum). The primary outcome was the incidence of each EGS model. Secondary outcomes were the relationship of the EGS model to objective hospital variables, and qualitative reasons for the choice of model. Results Of the 120 eligible hospitals, 119 (99%) participated. Sixty-four hospitals reported using an ASU (28%) or hybrid EGS model (26%), whereas the remaining 55 (46%) used a traditional model. ASU implementation was significantly more common among hospitals of greater peer group, bed number, surgeon pool and trauma service sophistication. Leading drivers for ASU commencement were aims to improve patient cssed. What are the implications for practitioners? Hospitals considering implementing an ASU or hybrid model will be reassured by the common reports of improved patient outcomes and decreased after-hours operating. However, potential hospitals must assess the suitability of the ASU model to their surgeon pool and EGS patient load.Skeletal malformations in captive-bred, adult Xenopus spp., have not previously been reported. link2 Here we describe 10 sexually mature, genetically modified laboratory frogs (6 Xenopus laevis and 4 Xenopus tropicalis) with axial skeletal abnormalities. link3 The young adult frogs were described by veterinary staff as presenting with "hunchbacks," but were otherwise considered to be in good health. All affected frogs were genetically engineered using various techniques transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALEN) editing using thyroid hormone receptor α TALEN mRNA, restriction enzyme-mediated integration methods involving insertion of the inducible transgene pCAR/TRDN, or via I-SceI meganuclease transgenesis using either pDRTREdpTR-HS4 or pDPCrtTA-TREG-HS4 plasmid sequences. Radiographic findings (6 frogs) and gross necropsy (10 frogs) revealed vertebral column malformations and sacroiliac deformities that resulted in moderate to severe kyphosis and kyphoscoliosis. These findings were confirmed and additional or a feature of the genetic background of the affected frogs cannot be ruled out.
Previous studies from European countries noted that food products promoted on TV for children did not comply with international guidelines, including the World Health Organization European Nutrient Profile Model (WHO-ENPM) and the EU Pledge Nutrition Criteria (EU-PNC, an initiative developed by leading food companies). We aim to provide new data from Italy.

Evaluation of Italian TV advertisements. Data on nutritional values for food product advertised were compared with nutritional standards issued by the WHO-ENPM and the EU-PNC.

In total, 180 h of TV programmes from six Italian channels, 2016-2017.

Eight hundred and ten consecutive advertisements during children's programmes.

Out of 810 advertisements, 90 (11·1 %) referred to food products. Among these, 84·5 % of the foods promoted did not meet the WHO-ENPM and 55·6 % the EU-PNC guidelines. Advertisements promoting sweet and salty snacks (i.e. ≥ 70 % of all foods) v. other food products showed higher non-compliance with both the WHO-ENPM (OR 73·8; es for food advertisements targeting children. As a first step towards the complete ban of food advertisements targeting children recommended by other researchers, these guidelines should be enforced by all the TV broadcasts.The aim of this study was to develop a simple method to purify Strongyloides eggs from rat faeces using a sucrose gradient centrifugal-flotation technique. This procedure is simple, rapid and possesses a high efficiency in recovering Strongyloides eggs without faecal detritus in less than one hour, thus eliminating the use of complex apparatus and different chemical substances. The possibility of working with pure and live Strongyloides eggs opens up a wide range of future studies on the biology of this parasite. This study constitutes the first report in the scientific literature on purifying Strongyloides eggs using a sucrose density gradient.Anomalous circumflex coronary artery origin from pulmonary artery is a very rare congenital heart disease. Misdiagnosis of this condition may lead to inadequate myocardial protection during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
This study aimed to compare the outcomes of ventilation tube insertion and balloon Eustachian tuboplasty as a first line treatment for otitis media with effusion in children.

This was a retrospective evaluation of 62 children, 30 cases that underwent balloon Eustachian tuboplasty (group 1) and 32 cases that underwent ventilation tube insertion (group 2), from July 2016 to April 2018.

The pre-operative air-bone gap of patients who underwent balloon Eustachian tuboplasty was 15-35 dB (mean 27.6 ± 8.2 dB). The mean pre-operative air-bone gap decreased to 9.6 dB after a mean of 14.4 months (p < 0.05). The air-bone gap decreased from 25.6 dB to 17.6 dB in the ventilation tube group. There was a significant improvement in the air-bone gap values in both groups; however, this decrease was significantly higher in the balloon Eustachian tuboplasty group (p = 0.043).

Balloon Eustachian tuboplasty may be an effective and safe method for use as a first-line treatment of otitis media with effusion in children.
