The rapid proliferation of saxitoxin (STX)-producing cyanobacteria in freshwater ecosystems poses an emerging threat to global drinking water security. STXs (STX), produced by these harmful algal blooms, are a class potent neurotoxic alkaloids that exhibit resistance conventional treatment processes like oxidation. Adsorption using carbon-based materials is recommended for STX removal, but current adsorbents have limited efficacy. Here, we demonstrate mesoporous graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs)...
Acute pediatric musculoskeletal infections are common, leading to significant use of resources and antimicrobial exposure. In order decrease variability improve the quality care, Children's Hospital Colorado implemented a clinical care guideline (CCG) for these infections. The purpose this study is evaluate resource outcomes PRE POST CCG. Retrospective chart review evaluated patients admitted large quaternary referral center (CHCO) diagnosed with acute osteomyelitis, septic arthritis,...
Cyanotoxins such as microcystin-LR (MC-LR) represent a global environmental threat to ecosystems and drinking water supplies. The study investigated the direct use of graphene rational interface for removal MC-LR via interactions with aromatic ring ADDA1 chain sp2 hybridized carbon network graphene. Intra-particle diffusion model fit indicated high mesoporosity provided significant enhancements both adsorption capacities kinetics when benchmarked against microporous granular activated (GAC)....
Microneedle patches are a promising source for transdermal diffusion of macromolecules and designed to painlessly penetrate the skin. In this study, biodegradable chitosan microneedle patch deliver meloxicam managing pain in cattle was tested. The potential reuse polymeric solution fabricate patches, optimization fabrication, morphological analysis preservation chemical composition after sterilization were evaluated. In-vitro consisted studying in-vitro penetration mechanical properties,...
Water quality can be severely impacted by algal blooms alone, yet cyanotoxins, such as microcystin (MC), are potent underlying hazards produced various species of cyanobacteria. Currently there is a need for environmentally compatible and economically viable media to address large scale application HAB waters. This study evaluated the interactions chitosan/graphene (CSG) composites with three different cyanobacteria: Anabaena sp, Synechocystis Microcystis aeruginosa both removal optical...
The distinction between hysterical and organically determined epileptic seizures may be more difficult than is sometimes supposed, misdiagnosis can have dire consequences. Hysterical on occasions present as life-threatening crises requiring urgent intensive treatment. Three such cases, each of which received the diagnosis status epilepticus, are reported, their management discussed.
Background: Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an inflammatory disorder of bone, typically arising adjacent to the physes long bones but also seen throughout skeleton. For patients with spinal involvement, CRMO lesions can cause compression deformities a range severity from minimal anterior wedging circumferential height loss, known as vertebra plana. This study examines large cohort determine prevalence spine involvement and vertebral deformity. Methods: retrospective...
Peptoids are peptidomimetic oligomers that predominantly harness similarities to peptides for biomimetic functionality. They have potential use in biomedical applications and biosensors due resistance proteolytic degradation low immunogenicity. The incorporation of chiral, aromatic side chains the peptoid sequence allows formation distinct secondary structures self-assembly into supramolecular assemblies, including microspheres. Peptoid microspheres can be coated onto substrates biosensor...

Sarcomas are a group of rare cancers that often require sub-specialty multidisciplinary opinion for appropriate management. Partnerships between referral sarcoma centers and community providers critical ensuring access to evidence-based care across multiple settings. Herein, we discuss specific considerations academic-community partnerships the cancer spectrum how these relationships have been impacted by COVID-19 pandemic.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) microarray performance is limited by low sensitivity and dynamic range. Increasing the surface area for reagent binding can help to improve performance, but standard techniques such as roughening or adding a polymer coating lead increased non-specific fluorescence do not have reproducibly improved performance. Another approach increase microsphere on surface. Poly-N-substituted glycine (peptoid) microspheres are ideal this application due...

Background BASHH guidelines recommend all patients diagnosed with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) should be given a detailed explanation of the condition, managed appropriate antibiotics and have effective partner notification (PN). Patients tested in non-GUM settings may receive sub-optimal management. Following 2008 audit highlighting several untreated CT cases Gynaecology Department (GD) we introduced bespoke IT lab-link allowing daily downloads results to GUM health advisers (HA). Objectives...
