    Abstract Background: There is an unmet medical need for effective nonopioid analgesics that can decrease pain while reducing systemic opioid use. CPL-01, an extended-release injectable formulation of ropivacaine, is designed to safely provide analgesia and reduce or eliminate opioid use in the postoperative period.
    Methods: Subjects undergoing open inguinal hernia with mesh were prospectively randomized to 1 of 3 doses of CPL-01 (10, 20, or 30 ml of 2% CPL-01, n = 14, 12, and 14, respectively), Naropin (150 mg, n = 40), or saline placebo (n = 13) infiltrated into the surgical site prior to closure. Pain and rescue medication usage was assessed, and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores were adjusted for opioid usage using windowed worst observation carried forward (wWOCF) imputation. The primary efficacy endpoint was the mean area under the curve (AUC) of the NRS pain intensity scores with activity.
    Results: Ninety-three subjects were treated, and 91 subjects completed 72 h of post-operative monitoring. Subjects who received the highest dose of CPL-01 in Cohort 3 showed a clinically meaningful reduction in postoperative pain intensity scores, which was the lowest value for any treatment in all cohorts, showing a trend towards statistical significance as compared to the pooled placebo group (p = 0.08), and numerically better than the 40 subjects who received Naropin. Opioid use through 72 h in subjects who received CPL-01 in Cohort 3 was approximately half of that shown in the placebo and Naropin groups; approximately 2/3 of the CPL-01 subjects (9/14) required no opioids at all through the first 72 h after the operation. More CPL-01 subjects avoided severe pain and were ready for discharge earlier than other groups. CPL-01 was safe and well-tolerated, with no clinically meaningful safety signals, and showed predictable and consistent extended-release pharmacokinetics.
    Conclusion: Results suggest that CPL-01 may be the first long-acting ropivacaine to address postoperative pain while reducing the need for opioids.

    Abstract Successful downstream molecular analyses of viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) in diagnostic laboratories, e.g., reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) or next-generation sequencing, are dependent on the quality of the RNA in the specimen. In swine specimens, preserving the integrity of RNA requires proper sample handling at the time the sample is collected on the farm, during transport, and in the laboratory until RNA extraction is performed. Options for proper handling are limited to maintaining the cold chain or using commercial specimen storage matrices. Herein, we reviewed the refereed literature for evidence that commercial specimen storage matrices can play a role in preserving swine viral RNA in clinical specimens. Refereed publications were included if they compared RNA detection in matrix-treated vs. untreated samples. At present, the small number of refereed studies and the inconsistency in reported results preclude the routine use of commercial specimen storage matrices. For example, specimen storage matrices may be useful under specific circumstances, e.g., where it is mandatory to render the virus inactive. In a broader view, statistically sound side-by-side comparisons between specimens, viral RNA targets, and storage conditions are needed to establish if, when, and how commercial specimen storage matrices could be used in diagnostic medicine.

    Abstract Several previous studies demonstrated that defect-free faceted nanocrystals of face-centered cubic metals (such as Au, Ni, and Pd) exhibit extraordinarily high mechanical strength approaching the theoretical strength of the respective metals. In the present work, we have studied the compressive strength of Pt nanoparticles fabricated by the solid-state dewetting method optimized for producing nanoparticles with a variety of shapes and sizes. The particles exhibit a well-pronounced size effect on strength, with the smallest particles achieving the highest compressive strength of 9.5 GPa corresponding to the lower limit of the theoretical strength of Pt. However, the average strength of the Pt particles normalized by the respective shear modulus is significantly lower than that of Au and Ni nanoparticles fabricated by a similar dewetting method. We have also established a correlation between the particles strength and shape described by the ratio of the particle top facet and projected diameters. Smaller values of this ratio correlate with higher compressive strength. Based on the experimental data obtained, we formulate a power law describing the combined effect of the particle size and shape on its strength. Our results are in qualitative agreement with previous computational studies demonstrating that the theoretical strength of Pt normalized by its shear modulus is significantly lower than that of other face-centered cubic metals.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a diagnostic term that was established 10 years ago to describe those patients with an eating disorder, mostly children and adolescents, who have poor nutrition that is not due to body image or weight concerns. This article reviews the diagnosis and subtypes of ARFID, as well as the medical, nutritional and psychological principles of evaluation and management of the disorder.
    Recent findings: In the past 10 years, clinicians have refined their approaches to managing the two major subtypes of ARFID: (1) those patients with a longer-term restriction in the amount and/or variety of the foods they eat, and (2) those patients with a shorter-term decrease in eating because of fear of aversive consequences such as vomiting, choking, GI symptoms or an allergic reaction to food. In that same time, the field of psychology has been developing evidence-based approaches to management of ARFID in each of its manifestations. Each patient with ARFID presents with a unique set of medical, nutritional and psychological factors that requires an individualized and multi-disciplinary approach in the management of this difficult to treat disorder.

    Abstract Regional surveillance is important for detecting the incursion of new pathogens and informing disease monitoring and control programs. Modeling disease distribution over time can provide insight into the development of more efficient regional surveillance approaches. Herein we propose a Bayesian spatio-temporal model to describe the distribution of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) in Iowa USA. Model parameters are estimated through a Bayesian spatio-temporal model approach which can account for missing values. For illustration, we apply the proposed model to PEDV test results from the Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (ISU-VDL). A simulation study carried out to evaluate the model showed that the proposed model captured the pattern of PEDV distribution and its spatio-temporal dependence.
