Concurrent determination of cyanide and thiocyanate in human and swine antemortem and postmortem blood by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
Anal Bioanal Chem. 2023 Sep 15. doi: 10.1007/s00216-023-04939-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCyanide (in the form of cyanide anion (CN-) or hydrogen cyanide (HCN), inclusively represented as CN) can be a rapidly acting and deadly poison, but it is also a common chemical component of a variety of natural and anthropogenic substances. The main mechanism of acute CN toxicity is based on blocking terminal electron transfer by inhibiting cytochrome c oxidase, resulting in cellular hypoxia, cytotoxic anoxia, and potential death. Due to the well-established link between blood CN concentrations and the manifestation of symptoms,...

Evaluating the potential of biodegradation of swine manure through rotary drum composting utilizing different bulking agents
In this study, the potential of three different bulking agents (sawdust, dry leaves, and rice straw) for the biodegradation of piggery waste was evaluated through rotary drum composting (RDC). Following the composting time of 20 days, evaluations of macro and micronutrient concentrations and the C/N ratio revealed stable, matured compost that could be used in farming. However, the saw dust amended RDC (RDC1) outperformed among the studied trails; the total nitrogen content of 1.54%, total phosphorus of 7.68 g/kg, and total potassium of 23.45 g/kg demonstrated the bioproduct produced through RDC1 resulted in superior-qualit...

Pulsed field ablation for pulmonary vein isolation: Preclinical safety and effectiveness of a novel hexaspline ablation catheter
ConclusionIn the chronic canine study, PFA-based PVI were safe and effective with demonstrable sparing of nerves and venous tissue. Compared with RFA, there was also good evidence for safety of PFA, avoiding PV stenosis and esophageal injury. This preclinical study provided the scientific basis for the first-in-human endocardial PFA studies.

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 1925: Bridging the Gap: Can COVID-19 Research Help Combat African Swine Fever?
hanarat
African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and economically devastating disease affecting domestic pigs and wild boar, caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV). Despite being harmless to humans, ASF poses significant challenges to the swine industry, due to sudden losses and trade restrictions. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has spurred an unparalleled global research effort, yielding remarkable advancements across scientific disciplines. In this review, we explore the potential technological spillover from COVID-19 research into ASF. Specifically, we assess the applicability of the diagnostic tools, vac...

Endovascular transmural access to carotid artery perivascular tissues: safety assessment of a novel technique
Conclusion
Repeated puncture of the carotid artery to gain access to the perivascular tissues using a novel endovascular transmural approach is safe in a swine model. This represents a novel approach to various tissues in close proximity to the cervical and cranial vasculature.

Genetic diversification patterns in swine influenza A virus (H1N2) in vaccinated and nonvaccinated animals
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are characterized by having a segmented genome, low proofreading polymerases, and a wide host range. Consequently, IAVs are constantly evolving in nature causing a threat to animal and human health. In 2009 a new human pandemic IAV strain arose in Mexico because of a reassortment between two strains previously circulating in pigs; Eurasian “avian-like” (EA) swine H1N1 and “human-like” H1N2, highlighting the importance of swine as adaptation host of avian to human IAVs. Nowadays, although of limited use, a trivalent vaccine, which include in its formulation H1N1, H3N2, and, H1N2 swine IAV ...

With the Decongestant SNAFU, the FDA Tries Something New
It’s easy to understand how a medicine like phenylephrine got onto pharmacy shelves in the first place. The common decongestant, used most often as an ingredient in multidrug cold medications like DayQuil and Sudafed PE, was initially designated as “safe and effective” by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1976, when the agency was newly—and less stringently than today—greenlighting drugs that had been on the market for years before the agency had established any efficacy standards. After a full review of 14 studies (12 unpublished and two published) from pharmaceutical companies—...

Narcolepsy Diagnosis With Sleep Stage Features Using PSG Recordings
Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder affecting millions of people worldwide and causes serious public health problems. It is hard for doctors to correctly and objectively diagnose narcolepsy. Polysomnography (PSG) recordings, a gold standard for sleep monitoring and quality measurement, can provide abundant and objective cues for the narcolepsy diagnosis. There have been some studies on automatic narcolepsy diagnosis using PSG recordings. However, the sleep stage information, an important cue for narcolepsy diagnosis, has not been fully utilized. For example, some studies have not considered the sleep stage information to diagno...
