Abstract Introduction MR enterography (MRE) is the most common imaging modality used to assess small bowel pathology, particularly patients with suspected Crohn's disease. Spasmolytic agents, most commonly Buscopan, are routinely used to reduce or cease movement/bowel activity in order to reduce blurring of the images which would otherwise reduce its diagnostic quality. The purpose of this study was to determine if administering an evenly split dose of Buscopan would improve the quality of...

Abstract In 2015, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) issued an opinion on the safety and efficacy of ammonium formate, calcium formate and sodium formate when used as a technological additive (preservative) for all animal species. Calcium formate was considered safe for all animal species at a maximum concentration of 10,000 mg formic acid equivalents/kg complete feed (with the exception of pigs, for which a maximum concentration of 12,000 mg formic...

Abstract On‐land transport/storage of fresh fishery products (FFP) for up to 3 days in ‘tubs’ of three‐layered poly‐ethylene filled with freshwater and ice was compared to the currently authorised practice (fish boxes of high‐density poly‐ethylene filled with ice). The impact on the survival and growth of biological hazards in fish and the histamine production in fish species associated with a high amount of histidine was assessed. In different modelling scenarios, the FFP are stored on‐board in...

Cumulative dietary risk characterisation of pesticides that have acute effects on the nervous system
Abstract A retrospective acute cumulative risk assessment of dietary exposure to pesticide residues, supported by an uncertainty analysis based on expert knowledge elicitation, was conducted for two effects on the nervous system: brain and/or erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase inhibition, and functional alterations of the motor division. The pesticides considered in this assessment were identified and characterised in the scientific report on the establishment of cumulative assessment groups of pesticides...

Abstract This study is aimed to find an approach for effective skin optical clearing in vivo using polyethylene glycol 300 (PEG‐300) as an optical clearing agent in combination with physical enhancers: fractional laser microablation (FLMA), and/or low‐frequency sonophoresis. In this study albino outbred rats were used. Light attenuation coefficient and optical clearing potential of these approaches were evaluated in upper (from ~70 to ~200 μm) and middle (from ~200 to ~400 μm) dermis separately...

The family of vibrational spectroscopic imaging techniques grows every few years and there is a need to compare and contrast new modalities with the better understood ones. Three vibrational spectroscopy techniques (High Definition FT‐IR, Raman and AFM‐IR) were applied for subcellular chemical imaging of cholesteryl esters in PC‐3 prostate cancer cells. The techniques were compared and contrasted in terms of image quality, spectral pattern, and chemical information. Further details can be found...

Although not as ubiquitous as antibacterial susceptibility testing, antifungal susceptibility testing (AFST) is a tool of increasing importance in clinical microbiology laboratories. The goal of AFST is to reliably produce MIC values that may be used to guide patient therapy, inform epidemiological studies, and track rates of antifungal drug resistance. There are three methods that have been standardized by standards development organizations: broth dilution, disk diffusion, and azole agar screening...

Intrathecal administration of anti-infectives is indicated in central nervous system infections by multiresistant pathogens when drugs that can reach adequate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations by systemic therapy are not available. Antibiotics that readily pass the blood-brain and blood-CSF barriers and/or that have low toxicity allowing an increase in the daily dosage should not be used for intrathecal therapy. Intrathecal therapy is accompanied by systemic treatment. Antibacterials indispensable...

Abstract Although accumulating evidence had revealed that NFAT1 has oncogenic characteristics, the role of this molecule in melanoma cells remains unclear. Previous studies proved that CD147 plays a crucial function in melanoma cell metastasis and invasion through matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP‐9) expression; however, the details of how CD147 regulates MMP‐9 expression remain elusive. In this study, we demonstrated that CD147 and NFAT1 are overexpressed in the tissues of patients with primary and...
