In this study, a simple and efficient strategy for the construction of hydrangea-like mesoporous WO3 nanoflowers templated using diblock copolymer PS119-PtBA129 was developed. The nanoflower shows good gas sensing properties, especially for 3-hydroxy-2-butanone (3H-2B), which is the signature metabolite of Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes). Therefore, the gas sensing of 3H-2B by hydrangea-like mesoporous WO3 nanoflowers can be used to detect L. monocytogenes. In the case of 25 ppm 3H-2B as target gas, the response (Ra/Rg) of the hydrangea-like mesoporous WO3 nanoflowers at 205 °C is 152, where Ra and Rg are the resistances of the sensing device in air and target gas, respectively, and the response and recovery times at 25 ppm are 25 s and 146 s, respectively. Schematic illustration of the formation of hydrangea-like mesoporous WO3 nanoflowers and its gas sensing implication.The establishment of a reference method for the determination of the allergen protein content in a processed food material has been explored. An analytical approach was developed to enable the comparability of food allergen measurement results expressed in a decision-relevant manner. A proof of concept is here presented, resulting in quantity values for the common measurand, namely 'mass of total allergen protein per mass of food'. The quantities are determined with SI traceability to enable the comparability of reported results. A method for the quantification of total milk protein content in an incurred baked food at a concentration level clinically relevant is presented. The strategy on how to obtain the final analytical result is outlined. Challenges associated with this method are discussed, in particular the optimal extraction of the marker proteins, the complete digestion and release of the peptides in an equimolar fashion, the use of conversion factors to translate the amount of measured proteins into total milk protein and the estimation of the uncertainty contributions as well as of the combined uncertainty of the final result. The implementation of such a reference method for the determination of the total allergen content in a processed food is an important step, which will provide comparable measurement data of relevance to risk assessors. Graphical abstract.Increasing burden of carbapenem resistance and resultant difficult-to-treat infections are of particular concern due to the lack of effective and safe treatment options. More recently, several new agents with activity against certain multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensive drug-resistant (XDR) Gram-negative pathogens have been approved for clinical use. Selleckchem UPF 1069 These include ceftazidime-avibactam, meropenem-vaborbactam, imipenem-cilastatin-relebactam, plazomicin, and cefiderocol. For the management of MBL infections, clinically used triple combination comprising ceftazidime-avibactam and aztreonam is hindered due to non-availability of antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods and lack of information on potential drug-drug interaction leading to PK changes impacting its safety and efficacy. Moreover, in several countries including Indian subcontinent and developing countries, these new agents are yet to be made available. Under these circumstances, polymyxins are the only last resort for the treatment of carbapenem-resistant infections. With the recent evidence of suboptimal PK/PD particularly in lung environment, limited efficacy and increased nephrotoxicity associated with polymyxin use, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has revised both colistin and polymyxin B breakpoints. Thus, polymyxins 'intermediate' breakpoint for Enterobacterales, P. aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter spp. are now set at ≤ 2 mg/L, implying limited clinical efficacy even for isolates with the MIC value 2 mg/L. This change has questioned the dependency on polymyxins in treating XDR infections. In this context, recently approved cefiderocol and phase 3 stage combination drug cefepime-zidebactam assume greater significance due to their potential to act as polymyxin-supplanting therapies.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by a progressive remodelling of the pulmonary vasculature resulting in right heart failure and eventually death. The serotonin transporter (SERT) may be involved in the pathogenesis of PH in patients with chronic-obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study investigated for the first time the SERT in vivo availability in the lungs of patients with COPD and PH (COPD+PH).
SERT availability was assessed using SERT-selective [
C]DASB and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with dynamic acquisition over 30 min in 4 groups of 5 participants each COPD, COPD+PH, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and a healthy control (HC). Time activity curves were generated based on a volume of interest within the middle lobe. Tissue-to-blood concentration ratios after 25 to 30 min (TTBR
) served as receptor parameter for group comparison and were corrected for lung tissue attenuation. Participants underwent comprehensive pulmonary workup. Statistical analyslopment of PH in COPD patients.
By applying [11C]DASB and PET/CT, semiquantitative measures of SERT availability are demonstrated in the lung vasculature of patients with COPD and/or PH. COPD patients who developed PH show increased pulmonary [11C]DASB uptake compared to COPD patients without PH indicating an implication of pulmonary SERT in the development of PH in COPD patients.
Postgraduate medical education in trauma and orthopedic surgery residents largely relates to learning and teaching surgery. During this crucial stage of surgical development some of the didactic challenges are caused by heterogeneous and contradictory expectations of trainees and trainers alike. So how do residents prepare for emergency surgery? To date there is neither an expert consensus nor scientific investigations in the clinical context on this topic.
Between February and April 2015 questionnaires were issued to all physicians active in the field of trauma and orthopedic surgery within the Trauma Network East Bavaria (27clinics, 255 physicians). The participants were asked to rate the importance of certain elements functioning in the preparation of two emergency operations using a Likert scale. The intensity with which residents generally realize these elements of preparation was also documented. The aim was to objectify if and to what extent the presumed normal practices diverge from clinical reality.
