Clinical Application of Intense Pulsed Light Therapy and Radio Frequency for Treatment of Ocular Surface Diseases07:36

Clinical Application of Intense Pulsed Light Therapy and Radio Frequency for Treatment of Ocular Surface Diseases

657
Intense pulsed light with the Optical Pulse Technology platform has US Food and Drug Association approval for the management of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)-associated Dry Eye Disease (DED) by improving meibomian gland function and reducing inflammation. Radiofrequency treatments result in meibum melting. Combination therapy may offer superior outcomes for DED and MGD.

Application of RNAi and Heat-shock-induced Transcription Factor Expression to Reprogram Germ Cells to Neurons in C. elegans07:53

Application of RNAi and Heat-shock-induced Transcription Factor Expression to Reprogram Germ Cells to Neurons in C. elegans

8.1K
This protocol describes how to study cellular processes during cell fate conversion in Caenorhabditis elegans in vivo. Using transgenic animals, allowing heat-shock promoter-driven overexpression of the neuron fate-inducing transcription factor CHE-1 and RNAi-mediated depletion of the chromatin-regulating factor LIN-53 germ cell to neuron reprogramming can be observed in vivo.

Non-enzymatic, Serum-free Tissue Culture of Pre-invasive Breast Lesions for Spontaneous Generation of Mammospheres09:49

Non-enzymatic, Serum-free Tissue Culture of Pre-invasive Breast Lesions for Spontaneous Generation of Mammospheres

13.0K
Primary cell culture using intact tissue organoids provides a model system that mimics the multi-cellular in vivo microenvironment. We developed a serum-free primary breast epithelium tissue culture model that perpetuates mixed cell culture lineages and exhibits differentiated morphology, without enzymatic tissue disruption. Breast organoids remain viable for >6...

Stress-induced Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing on a Chip

6.8K
We have developed a microfluidic platform for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing. Fluid is passed at high speeds over bacteria immobilized on the bottom of a microfluidic channel. In the presence of stress and antibiotic, susceptible strains of bacteria die rapidly. However, resistant bacteria can survive these stressful...

Dependence of Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Results on Pulse Energies and Timing Parameters Using Soil Simulants

11.7K
LIBS detection capabilities on soil simulants were tested using a range of pulse energies and timing parameters. Calibration curves were used to determine detection limits and sensitivities for different parameters. Generally, the results showed that there was not a significant reduction in detection capabilities using lower pulse energies and non-gated...

One-day Workflow Scheme for Bacterial Pathogen Detection and Antimicrobial Resistance Testing from Blood Cultures

26.0K
The design of a straightforward one-day workflow scheme for bacterial pathogen diagnostics enables the rapid recognition of bloodstream infections. The inclusion of eight clinically relevant bacterial targets and their antibiotic resistance profiles offers the clinician an initial insight on the same day, which can lead to more adequate...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Nephrology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Antibiotic-induced hypokalemia is an uncommon adverse effect.
  • Previously documented with aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, and ureido penicillins.

Observation:

  • A patient with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia presented with severe hypokalemia.
  • The patient was receiving high doses of oxacillin.

Findings:

  • This case represents the first reported instance of oxacillin-associated hypokalemia.
  • High-dose oxacillin therapy can lead to significant electrolyte disturbances.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider oxacillin as a potential cause of hypokalemia.
  • Monitoring potassium levels is crucial in patients on high-dose oxacillin, especially those with bacteremia.
