Utilizing fly ash (FA) as reinforcement for magnesium matrix composites (MMCs) brings down the production cost and the land pollution.Magnesium alloy AZ31 was reinforced with FA particles (10 vol.%) successfully by two different processing methods namely conventional stir casting and friction stir processing (FSP).The microstructural features were
Rare Plasmid-Mediated AmpC Beta-Lactamase DHA-1 Located on Easy Mobilized IS26-Related Genetic Element Detected in Escherichia coli from Livestock and Food in Germany
AmpC beta-lactamases cause resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, including beta-lactamase inhibitors.In Escherichia coli from the German food production chain, the majority of AmpC beta-lactamase activity can be attributed to plasmid-mediated CMY-2 THONGS or overproduction of chromosomal AmpC beta-lactamase, but occasionally other enzymes
Prenatal opioid exposure significantly impacts placental protein kinase C (PKC) and drug transporters, leading to drug resistance and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome
BackgroundNeonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) is a consequence of in-utero exposure to prenatal maternal opioids, resulting in the manifestation of symptoms like irritability, feeding problems, tremors, and withdrawal signs.Opioid use disorder (OUD) during pregnancy can profoundly impact both mother and fetus, disrupting fetal brain neurotra
Analytical Detection of Sulfonamides and Organophosphorus Insecticide Residues in Fish in Taiwan
Exposure to residues of antibiotics (e.g., sulfonamides) and insecticides (e.g., organophosphorus insecticides) in aquacultured food can adversely affect humans and animals and thus affect public health globally.Here, using a validated method, we examined the levels of residues of 12 sulfonamides as well as 18 organophosphorus insecticides in aquac
