Guillain-Barr é syndrome in patients dying with COVID-19 in Italy: a retrospective study
CONCLUSIONS: Although the mechanism of GBS onset is still unclear in COVID-19, fatal cases may be more frequent than other virus-related GBS, so that strictly monitoring in high-risk patients could dramatically decrease the mortality of GBS.PMID:37712236 | DOI:10.4415/ANN_23_03_04

From the Flight Deck to the Bedside: Core Aviation Concepts Applied to Acute Care Physical Therapist Practice and Education
Phys Ther. 2023 Sep 15:pzad125. doi: 10.1093/ptj/pzad125. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe health care industry has sought to reduce errors and patient harm by drawing upon human factors research developed largely in the aviation industry. However, literature that explicitly applies human factors concepts to physical therapist practice is scarce. Therefore, this clinical perspective highlights key concepts in aviation safety and training that should be considered for application to physical therapist education and practice in the acute care setting, including the law of primacy, pilot in command, crew resource management,...

Cucurbit6uril Hyperpolarized Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer Pulse Sequence Parameter Optimization and Detectability Limit Assessment at 3.0T
In this study, MRI pulse sequence parameter optimization was first performed in CB6 solutions in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and subsequently in whole sterile citrated bovine blood. The performance of four different depolarization pulse shapes (sinusoidal, 3-lobe sinc (3LS), rectangular (block), and hyperbolic secant (hypsec) was optimized. The detectability limits of CB6 in a clinical 3.0T MRI scanner was assessed using the optimized pulse sequences. The 3LS depolarization pulses performed best, and demonstrated 24% depletion in a 25µM solution of CB6 in PBS. It performed similarly in blood. The CB6 detectability li...

Melanin-targeted < sup > 18 < /sup > F-PFPN PET imaging may shed light for clear cell sarcoma
CONCLUSION: Melanin-targeted [18F]-PFPN PET imaging is feasible for the diagnosis of CCS. Different imaging features were displayed on [18F]-PFPN and [18F]-FDG PET imaging, demonstrating the complementary role of the tracers. Combined use of the two imaging modalities would be preferred in patients with CCS.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT05963035.PMID:37714979 | DOI:10.1007/s00259-023-06439-2

The Facile Synthesis of Eco-Friendly Zinc Magnesium Bimetal Nanoparticles and its Application in the Eradication of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae that Causes Leaf Blight Disease of Rice
Curr Microbiol. 2023 Sep 15;80(11):340. doi: 10.1007/s00284-023-03455-1.ABSTRACTIn this research work, we formulated and successfully assessed the antibacterial capability of zinc magnesium bimetal nanoparticles (ZnMgNPs) against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), the pathogenic microorganism responsible for causing the destructive leaf blight disease in rice. Successful preparation of ZnMgNPs were determined by UV-vis spectroscopy, EDX (Energy dispersive X-ray), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). ZnMgNPs had antibacterial efficacy towards Xoo at MIC (minimum inhibitory concentratio...

Enhanced mechanical and functional properties of chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol/hydroxypropyl methylcellulose/alizarin composite film by incorporating cinnamon essential oil and tea polyphenols
In this study, cinnamon essential oil and tea polyphenols were added to chitosan/ polyvinyl alcohol/ hydroxypropyl methylcellulose/ alizarin composite films to enhance their mechanical and functional properties. Their addition to the composite films enhanced their antibacterial and antioxidant properties and significantly improved its elongation at break (p < 0.05). Cinnamon essential oil reduced the water vapor permeability, water content, and water solubility of composite films and improved their transparency. The composite films with additive exhibited excellent UV-barrier ability and pH responsivity. Fourier Transfo...

Translucency mechanism of heat-induced pigeon egg white gel
In this study, the properties of pigeon egg white (PEW) and chicken egg white (CEW) thermal gels were compared, with the aim of revealing the mechanisms involved in the high transparency of PEW thermal gels. Results demonstrated that PEW gels exhibited higher transparency than CEW gels. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis revealed that PEW gels formed a fine chain gel network structure with an average diameter of thermal aggregates (89.84 ± 7.13 nm). The molecular properties of PEW proteins, such as higher content of β-sheet structures (32.73 %), reactive groups (free su...

Analysis and prediction of liver volume change maps derived from computational tomography scans acquired pre- and post-radiation therapy
This study leverages the use of deep learning-based segmentation and biomechanical deformable image registration (DIR) to analyze and predict this relationship. Pre- and Post-EBRT imaging data were collected for 100 patients treated for HCC, CC or CRC with IMRT with prescription doses ranging from 50 to 100 Gy delivered in 10 to 28 fractions. For each patient, DIR between the portal and venous (PV) phase of a diagnostic CT scan acquired before RT planning, and a PV phase of a diagnostic CT scan acquired after the end of RT (on average 147±36 days) was performed to calculate Jacobian maps representing volume changes in the...
