Newest firstObjective: The use of recreational drugs such as alcohol and tetrahydrocannabinol(THC) is increasing worldwide. While tobacco and certain illicit substances are well-established risk factors for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), the role of alcohol and THC remains less well defined. Understanding their potential impact on aneurysm rupture and clinical severity could have significant implications for preve…
Open article record in new tab ↗To understand the utility of healthcare facility-level wastewater surveillance (WWS) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), it is important to correlate wastewater SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection with the number of clinical infections. WWS for SARS-CoV-2 was performed at three skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) over 25 weeks. Electronegative membrane filtration (enMF) and Nanotrap(R) Magnetic Vi…
Open article record in new tab ↗Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide, with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounting for a significant portion of cases. Despite advancements in treatment, only modest gains have been made in HNSCC/OSCC control. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have emerged as targeted therapies for OSCC in clinical trials. However…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background/Objectives: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the third leading cause of irreversible blindness in elderly individuals aged over 50 years old. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the etiopathogenesis of multifactorial AMD disease. The phospholipid bilayer EVs derived from the culture-conditioned medium of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) differentiated retinal organoids aid in ce…
BackgroundHospital-acquired TB (Tuberculosis) infection among healthcare workers (HCWs) and patients is a severe problem due to the increased attributable risk of TB infection among these groups. MethodsA standardized tool was applied. The assessment was conducted by direct observation, document review, and interviews with the facility heads. Baseline evaluation of TBIC (Tuberculosis infection control) in TB outpa…

Open article record in new tab ↗BACKGROUNDInformation is limited on messenger RNA (mRNA) BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna) COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (VE) in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection or attenuating disease when administered in real-world conditions. METHODSProspective cohorts of 3,975 healthcare personnel, first responders, and other essential and frontline workers completed weekly SARS-CoV-2 testing during December 1…
Open article record in new tab ↗The balance and smooth shift between flexible, goal-directed behaviors and repetitive, habitual actions are critical to optimal performance of behavioral tasks. The striatum plays an essential role in control of goal-directed versus habitual behaviors through a rich interplay of the numerous neurotransmitters and neuromodulators to modify the input, processing and output functions of the striatum. The adenosine re…
Open article record in new tab ↗Resveratrol is a natural phytoalexin synthesized by plants, including grapes. It displays a wide range of neuroprotective benefits associated with anti-aging. Recent studies have shown that resveratrol regulates dopaminergic transmission and behavioral effects of drugs of abuse. The goal of the present study is to investigate whether and how resveratrol alters basal inhibitory synaptic transmission and cocaine-ind…
Open article record in new tab ↗The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) mediates retrograde synaptic depression including depolarization-induced suppression of excitation (DSE) and inhibition (DSI). 2-AG is degraded primarily by monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL), which is expressed in neurons and astrocytes. Using knockout mice in which MAGL is deleted globally or selectively in neurons or astrocytes, we investigated the relative contribu…
Open article record in new tab ↗Nicotine, one of the most commonly used drugs, has become a major concern because tobacco serves as a gateway drug and is linked to illicit drug abuse, such as cocaine and marijuana. However, previous studies mainly focused on certain genes or neurotransmitters which have already been known to participate in drug addiction, lacking endogenous metabolic profiling in a global view. To further explore the mechanism b…
