US-guided CV puncture appears feasible and safe with an acceptable success rate. In case of failure of the US-guided axillary or subclavian vein approach, it may be preferred as an alternative to the cephalic cut-down procedure, where the success rate is relatively lower and the risk of bleeding is higher.

In SSADHD, pathologic accumulation of GABA and its metabolite γ-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) results in broad spectrum encephalopathy including developmental delay, ataxia, seizures, and a heightened risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Proof-of-concept systemic SSADH restoration via enzyme replacement therapy increased survival of SSADH knockout mice, suggesting that SSADH restoration might be a viable intervention for SSADHD. However, before testing enzyme replacement therapy or gene therapy in patients, we must consider its safety and feasibility in the context of early brain development and unique SSADHD pathophysiology. Specifically, a profound use-dependent downregulation of GABAA receptors in SSADHD indicates a risk that any sudden SSADH restoration might diminish GABAergic tone and provoke seizures. In addition, the tight developmental regulation of GABA circuit plasticity might limit the age window when SSADH restoration is accomplished safely. Moreover, given SSADH expressions are cell type-specific, targeted instead of global restoration might be necessary. We therefore describe 3 key parameters for the clinical readiness of SSADH restoration (1) rate, (2) timing, and (3) cell type specificity. Our work focuses on the construction of a novel SSADHD mouse model that allows “on-demand” SSADH restoration for the systematic investigation of these key parameters.

Colonic motor complexes (CMCs) occur with a periodic rhythm, but the ability to elicit a premature CMC depends, at least in part, upon the intrinsic refractory properties of the ENS, which are presently unknown. The objectives of this study were to record myoelectric complexes (MCs, the electrical correlates of CMCs) in the smooth muscle and 1) determine the refractory periods of MCs, 2) inform and evaluate closed-loop stimulation to repetitively evoke MCs, and 3) identify stimulation methods to suppress MC propagation. We dissected the colon from male and female C57BL/6 mice, preserving the integrity of intrinsic circuitry while removing the extrinsic nerves, and measured properties of spontaneous and evoked MCs in vitro. Hexamethonium abolished spontaneous and evoked MCs, confirming the necessary involvement of the ENS for electrically evoked MCs. Electrical stimulation reduced the mean i Controlled electrical stimulation can either evoke MCs or temporarily delay MCs in the isolated mouse colon, depending on timing relative to ongoing activity.Patulin and Trichothecene as the main groups of mycotoxins in significant quantities can cause health risks from allergic reactions to death on both humans and animals. Accordingly, rapid and highly sensitive determination of these toxics agents is of great importance. This review starts with a comprehensive outlook regarding the characteristics, occurrence and toxic effects of Patulin and Trichothecene. In the following, numerous clinical and analytical approaches have been extensively discussed. The main emphasis of this review is placed on the utilization of novel nanomaterial based electrochemical sensing/biosensing tools for highly sensitive determination of Patulin and Trichothecene. Furthermore, a detailed and comprehensive comparison has been performed between clinical, analytical and sensing methods. Subsequently, the nanomaterial based electrochemical sensing platforms have been approved as reliable tools for on-site analysis of Patulin and Trichothecene in food processing and manufacturing industries. Different nanomaterials in improving the performance of detecting assays were investigated and have various benefits toward clinical and analytical methods. This paper would address the limitations in the current developments as well as the future challenges involved in the successful construction of sensing approaches with the functionalized nanomaterials and also allow exploring into core-research works regarding this area.Unplanned hospital readmissions have a high prevalence and substantial healthcare costs. Preventive intervention during hospitalization holds the potential for reducing readmission risk. However, it is challenging to develop individualized interventions during hospitalization because the causes of readmissions have not been clearly known and because patients are heterogeneous. This work aimed to identify potentially modifiable risk factors of readmission to help clinicians better plan and prioritize interventions for different patient subgroups during hospitalization. We performed the analysis of associations between the changes of potentially modifiable risk factors and the change of readmission status with association rule mining and statistical methods. Twenty-nine risk factors were identified from the association rules, and twenty-five of them were potentially modifiable. The association rules with potentially modifiable risk factors can be recommended to different patient subgroups to support the development of customized readmission preventive interventions.
