Detection of endotoxins from selected drinking water microbiota using an LAL-based assay and its implications for human health
J Water Health. 2024 Feb;22(2):290-295. doi: 10.2166/wh.2024.207.ABSTRACTEndotoxins are pyrogenic lipopolysaccharides from Gram-negative bacteria that are known to induce fever, septic shock, and multiple organ failure, posing a substantial risk to human health. Drinking water systems are especially prone to home microbiomes containing a large variety of Gram-negative bacteria. Consumption of water from these systems in developed countries is generally regarded as non-hazardous to humans due to the low number of non-pathogenic bacterial cells per milliliter and oral admission. To assess potential risks posed by endotoxins ...

Variability in the perception of palliative care and end-of-life care among hematology professionals from the same reference center in Bahia, Brazil: A descriptive cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: We found considerable differences in the perception of PC and EOL care among professionals, despite following the same protocols. The study also demonstrated variations between healthcare professionals' beliefs and practices and persistent historical tendencies to prioritize aggressive interventions.PMID:38422243 | PMC:PMC10885630 | DOI:10.1590/1516-3180.2023.0255.R1.29112023 (Source: Sao Paulo Medical Journal)
