Abstract The aim of this study was to establish and validate an alternative high‐performance liquid chromatography method for simultaneous quantification of pyrazinamide, isoniazid, acetyl‐isoniazid and rifampicin in plasma of patients under treatment for tuberculosis. The performed method was lineal ( r 2 > 0.99) in the range of 2.00–50.00 μg/mL for pyrazinamide, 0.50–20.00 μg/mL for both acetyl‐isoniazid and isoniazid, and 1.20–25.00 μg/mL for rifampicin. Precision and trueness were demonstrated with ...

Intercellular communication via cell-released vesicles is a very important process for both normal and tumor cells. Cell communication may involve exosomes, small vesicles of endocytic origin that are released by all types of cells and are found in abundance in body fluids, including blood, saliva, urine, and breast milk. Exosomes have been shown to carry lipids, proteins, mRNAs, non-coding RNAs, and even DNA out of cells. They are more than simply molecular garbage bins, however, in that the molecules ...

Azamethiphos is an organophosphate compound used in controlling Caligus rogercresseyi infestations in the Chilean salmon industry. The molecular target of organophosphates has traditionally been associated with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the nervous system. However, in arthropods these chemicals could induce complex genomic responses, which can involve different molecular pathways not exclusively related to the nervous system. Our study presents a transcriptomic analysis of C. rogercresseyi ...

Deltamethrin is an insecticide authorized for use against the ectoparasite Caligus rogercresseyi in salmon aquaculture. The biodegradation of this insecticide is principally catalyzed through P450 enzymes, carboxylesterases, and glutathione-S-transferase, increasing the amount of free radicals that could promote the activation of oxidative stress response. The present study identified and evaluated the transcriptomic expression of genes related to the antioxidant system in male and female C. rogercresseyi ...

Caspases play an important role in the different stages of programmed cell death, or apoptosis, which has been related to the immune response in multicellular organisms. The present study characterized an initiator caspase (HrCas8) and an effector caspase (HrCas3) from the red abalone Haliotis rufescens using the RACE method and qPCR analysis. HrCas8 showed a complete sequence of 2529 base pairs (bp) with an open-reading frame (ORF) of 1911 bp, a 5'UTR of 201 bp, and a 3'UTR of 417 bp. The estimated ...

This work presents patient radiation dose data for paediatric interventional cardiology procedures in a large paediatric hospital in Chile. This will contribute to setting national diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for Chile in the near future. The dosimetric data collection period was from January 2018 to December 2018. The local DRLs were calculated as the 3rd quartile of patient dose data distributions for kerma area-product (Pka) values. The sample of collected clinical procedures (261) was divided ...

Ciliate ectoparasites are one of the most important groups of pathogens in fish culture, and the traditional treatments are sometimes harmful to the fish and the environment. Thus, the search for novel compounds that are effective at low concentrations and safe for fish are necessary to optimise treatments in aquaculture. The antiprotozoal capacity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against the ciliate Tetrahymena has been documented; however, their toxicity may vary with the synthesis methodology and ...

Background In anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the extended time window, the guidelines recommend advanced imaging (ADVI) to select patients for endovascular therapy (EVT). However, questions remain regarding its availability and applicability in the real world. It is unclear whether an approach to the extended window EVT that does not use ADVI would be equivalent. Methods In April 2022, a literature search was performed to identified randomized controlled trials (RCT) and observational ...

Abstract Seabird bycatch in fisheries, and the development of effective mitigation to minimize this, have been subject to increasing research attention over the past three to four decades. Trawl fisheries represent a particular challenge, as bird mortalities (especially highly threatened albatrosses and large petrels, Procellariforms) occur primarily through difficult-to-detect collisions with warp and net monitoring cables. Effectiveness of bird-scaring lines (BSLs) as a mitigation measure can be ...

The deep nitrogen-covered basin on Pluto, informally named Sputnik Planitia, is located very close to the longitude of Pluto's tidal axis and may be an impact feature, by analogy with other large basins in the Solar System. Reorientation of Sputnik Planitia arising from tidal and rotational torques can explain the basin's present-day location, but requires the feature to be a positive gravity anomaly, despite its negative topography. Here we argue that if Sputnik Planitia did indeed form as a result ...

The early development of the digestive biochemistry of three cultured Atherinopsids (two Odontesthes species and Chirostoma estor) was investigated. Relatively high lipolytic and high alkaline proteolytic activities were found in all species. In addition, gene expression of lipase and trypsin during the early development of C. estor not only indicates an early onset of the lipase activity but also demonstrates a major importance of protein digestion in this species. However, despite all of them share ...

Abstract This paper describes the development of a new triaxial cell specifically built to test coarse granular material under partially saturated conditions. The partial saturation is achieved by imposing a total suction that is correlated with the relative humidity. Relative humidity control was achieved by water vapor transfer using a forced convection system, which is driven by an air pump transporting the air humidity to the sample, and it is controlled by saturated saline solutions placed ...

The aim of this work was to confirm previous findings suggesting that the eyes are required for night-time melatonin production in Nile tilapia and further characterise this divergent circadian organisation. To do so, melatonin levels were firstly measured in eyecups and plasma to determine circadian patterns of melatonin production. Secondly, the effect of partial ophthalmectomy on the suppression of melatonin production was determined in vivo as well as ex vivo pineal light/dark sensitivity. Finally, ...

The Kiss1/GPR54 system has recently been shown to play a key role in the onset of puberty in mammals. Growing evidence suggests that this system is also conserved across vertebrates although very few studies so far have been performed in lower vertebrates. The aims of this study were firstly in the teleost Nile tilapia to screen tissues for GPR54 expression levels, secondly to measure the expression patterns of GPR54 and GnRH I receptor (rGnRH I) in whole brains during the onset of puberty and finally ...

Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare the circadian control of melatonin production in teleosts. To do so, the effects of ophthalmectomy on circulating melatonin rhythms were studied along with ex vivo pineal culture in six different teleosts. Results strongly suggested that the circadian control of melatonin production could have dramatically changed with at least three different systems being present in teleosts when one considers the photic regulation of pineal melatonin production. ...
