    Abstract Recycled aluminum alloys are pivotal for sustainable manufacturing, offering strength, durability, and environmental advantages. However, the presence of iron (Fe) impurities poses a major challenge, undermining their properties and recyclability. Conventional manufacturing processes result in coarse Fe-rich intermetallic compounds that limit the tolerance of Fe content and negatively influence performance of advanced aluminum alloys. To address this, rapid solidification techniques like direct strip casting have been explored. In this work, a detailed study of the strip cast microstructure was conducted by scanning electron microscopy, electron backscattered diffraction and atom probe tomography. Our results reveal that alloys produced by DSC exhibit significantly refined microstructures and are free from coarse Fe-rich intermetallics, thereby retaining the majority of Fe in solid solution. These findings indicate that strip casting significantly enhances Fe-tolerance in aluminum alloys, making it an attractive process for future aluminum recycling, with implications for sustainable high-performance applications.

    Abstract Background & aims: Hepatic enzymes play a major role in the metabolic elimination of cortisol, and reduced rates of cortisol clearance have been consistently observed in patients with chronic liver disease. It is less clear whether there are concomitant abnormalities of adrenocortical function in patients with cirrhosis. In the present study, we sought to assess adrenocortical function in patients with cirrhosis using measures of free cortisol appearance and elimination rates that are independent of serum concentrations of cortisol binding proteins.
    Methods: Post hoc
    Results: Maximal cortisol secretion rate (CSR
    Conclusions: CSR
    Lay summary: We applied numerical analytic methods to characterise adrenocortical function in patients with varying stages of chronic liver disease. We found that patients with more severe cirrhosis have decreased rate of free cortisol elimination and decreased maximal cortisol secretion rate, which is a measure of adrenocortical function. In contrast to conventional measures of adrenocortical function, those obtained using numerical methods were not affected by variation in corticosteroid binding globulin and albumin concentrations. We conclude that patients with cirrhosis demonstrate measurable abnormalities of adrenocortical function, evidence of which supports aspects of the hepatoadrenal syndrome hypothesis.

    Abstract The human skin barrier, a biological imperative, is impaired in inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis (AD). Staphylococcus aureus is associated with AD lesions and contributes to pathological inflammation and further barrier impairment. S. aureus secretes extracellular proteases, such as V8 (or 'SspA'), which cleave extracellular proteins to reduce skin barrier. Previous studies demonstrated that the host defence peptide human beta-defensin 2 (HBD2) prevented V8-mediated damage. Here, the mechanism of HBD2-mediated barrier protection in vitro is examined. Application of exogenous HBD2 provided protection against V8, irrespective of timeline of application or native peptide folding, raising the prospect of simple peptide analogues as therapeutics. HBD2 treatment, in context of V8-mediated damage, modulated the proteomic/secretomic profiles of HaCaT cells, altering levels of specific extracellular matrix proteins, potentially recovering V8 damage. However, HBD2 alone did not substantially modulate cellular proteomic/secretomics profiles in the absence of damage, suggesting possible therapeutic targeting of lesion damage sites only. HBD2 did not show any direct protease inhibition or induce expression of known antiproteases, did not alter keratinocyte migration or proliferation, or form protective nanonet structures. These data validate the barrier-protective properties of HBD2 in vitro and establish key protein datasets for further targeted mechanistic analyses.

    Abstract: ... consumption of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-rich cannabis plants for their psychotropic effects ...

    Abstract Recent studies highlight the therapeutic virtues of cannabidiol (CBD). Furthermore, due to their molecular enriched profiles, cannabis inflorescences are biologically superior to a single cannabinoid for the treatment of various health conditions. Thus, there is flourishing demand for Cannabis sativa varieties containing high levels of CBD. Additionally, legal regulations around the world restrict the cultivation and consumption of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-rich cannabis plants for their psychotropic effects. Therefore, the use of cannabis varieties that are high in CBD is permitted as long as their THC content does not exceed a low threshold of 0.3%-0.5%, depending on the jurisdiction. These chemovars are legally termed 'hemp'. This controlled cannabinoid requirement highlights the need to detect low levels of THC, already in the field. In this review, cannabis profiling and the existing methods used for the detection of cannabinoids are firstly evaluated. Then, selected valuable biosensor technologies are discussed, which suggest portable, rapid, sensitive, reproducible, and reliable methods for on-site identification of cannabinoids levels, mainly THC. Recent cutting-edge techniques of promising potential usage for both cannabis and hemp analysis are identified, as part of the future cultivation and agricultural improvement of this crop.

    Abstract Purpose: Dialysis-associated hyperglycemia (DAH), is associated with a distinct fluid and electrolyte pathophysiology. The purpose of this report was to review the pathophysiology and provide treatment guidelines for DAH.
    Methods: Review of published reports on DAH. Synthesis of guidelines based on these reports.
    Results: The following fluid and solute abnormalities have been identified in DAH: (a) hypoglycemia: this is a frequent complication of insulin treatment and its prevention requires special attention. (b) Elevated serum tonicity. The degree of hypertonicity in DAH is lower than in similar levels of hyperglycemia in patients with preserved renal function. Typically, correction of hyperglycemia with insulin corrects the hypertonicity of DAH. (c) Extracellular volume abnormalities ranging from pulmonary edema associated with osmotic fluid shift from the intracellular into the extracellular compartment as a consequence of gain in extracellular solute (glucose) to hypovolemia from osmotic diuresis in patients with residual renal function or from fluid losses through extrarenal routes. Correction of DAH by insulin infusion reverses the osmotic fluid transfer between the intracellular and extracellular compartments and corrects the pulmonary edema, but can worsen the manifestations of hypovolemia, which require saline infusion. (d) A variety of acid-base disorders including ketoacidosis correctable with insulin infusion and no other interventions. (e) Hyperkalemia, which is frequent in DAH and is more severe when ketoacidosis is also present. Insulin infusion corrects the hyperkalemia. Extreme hyperkalemia at presentation or hypokalemia developing during insulin infusion require additional measures.
    Conclusions: In DAH, insulin infusion is the primary management strategy and corrects the fluid and electrolyte abnormalities. Patients treated for DAH should be monitored for the development of hypoglycemia or fluid and electrolyte abnormalities that may require additional treatments.
