Investigations during 2014–2016 in two communities in New York State showed perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in a public system serving 3800 residents (Hoosick Falls) averaging 534 ppt and in a smaller system serving 200 residents (Petersburgh) averaging 92.5 ppt. Bottled water (2015–2016) was provided until filtration brought PFOA levels to non-detectable (2016–2017). The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) sought to address community questions about exposures and evaluate reductions in serum concentrations. NYSDOH tested serum PFOA in 2016 just after drinking water exposure mitigation and again in 2018. Descriptive statistics for serum PFOA by sex, age, length of residence, and water consumption were evaluated using multiple regression, and half-lives were estimated. Using the serum PFOA GM and median for tests occurring within 3 months of exposure mitigation (N = 1121) (47.5, 54.2) produced serum to water ratios of 89.0 and 101.6. A total of 1573 Hoosick Falls public water consumers (337

AbstractObjective Bowel perforation is a major, yet unstudied complication of ultrasound-guided hydrostatic enema reduction (UGHR). In this study, we aimed to explore the risk factors and determine the clinical characteristics of bowel perforation during UGHR for paediatric intussusception (P-UGHR). Methods We retrospectively analysed the medical records of patients who underwent UGHR for intussusception at our institution between January 2011 and December 2021.

Pivotal role of Pourbaix diagram in electrocatalysis Electrocatalysis is one of the cornerstones of sustainable development, offering green strategies for renewable energy storage and the conversion of valuable chemicals. Electrocatalyst, being the heart of electrocatalytic reactions, underpins the reaction activity and efficiency. However, understanding the structure and behavior of electrocatalysts remains challenging.

To the Editor,With the introduction of differentiating agents, such as all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO), the outcomes of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) have significantly improved [1, 2]. However, there are still many early deaths, especially among those at high risk [3, 4]. In our retrospective study of 570 patients with APL, early mortality was 7.54% [5].

AbstractDoublecortin (DCX) is one of the major causal proteins leading to lissencephaly and subcortical band heterotopia in human patients. However, our understanding of this disease, as well as the function of DCX during neurogenesis, remains limited due to the absence of suitable animal models that accurately represent human phenotypes. Here, we conducted a comprehensive examination of the neocortex at different stages in DCX knockout ferrets.
