TL;DR: There is an increase in both aqueous and vitreous humor concentrations with inflammation and with oral and topical administrations, as opposed to topical only, of ciprofloxacin.
Abstract: Purpose:To assess the aqueous and vitreous penetration of ciprofloxacin after topical and combined topical and oral administration and investigate the effects of inflammation on drug penetrationMethods:A standardized penetrating injury was made in the right eyes of 16 rabbits Intraocular inflammat

TL;DR: The prevalence of cat sensitivity in Izmir, where cats are generally not kept within homes, is as high as in western countries.
Abstract: Background Cats represent one of the most important sources of indoor allergens. The sensitization rate can reach up to 60% in western countries. Keeping cats indoors is uncommon in big cities in Turkey, but cats living in the streets are common. Objective To investigate the prevalence of sensitization to cats in patients with respiratory allergy from Izmir, Turkey, and its relationship to home cat allergen levels. Methods A total of 387 patients (70.8% female; mean age, 34.3 years) with respiratory allergic diseases (rhinitis and/or asthma) were included in this study. Skin prick test to cat was performed. House dust samples were collected from the living room of 25 patients and 14 healthy subjects. The major cat allergen (Fel d 1) levels were measured by Dustscreen. Fel d 1 levels given by the manufacturer were as follows: 0.05, 0.13, 0.40, 1.1, and 6.2 mU/mL. Results The prevalence of cat sensitivity was 44.7% (n = 173). Only 6 patients (1.6%) had a history of feeding a cat in their houses. Thirty-six (92%) of 39 houses had detectable levels of cat allergen (mean Fel d 1 level, 2.24 ± 2.69 mU/mL). The mean Fel d 1 levels were 1.58 ± 2.51 mU/mL in the healthy group, 1.91 ± 2.61 mU/mL in the asthmatic group, and 3.26 ± 2.85 mU/mL in the group with allergic rhinitis ( P = 0.12). The prevalence of cat sensitivity in patients who had 1.1 mU/mL of Fel d 1 in their homes was 57.1%. This rate was five times lower (11.1%) in patients who had the highest Fel d 1 level (6.2 mU/mL) in their homes. Conclusions The prevalence of cat sensitivity in Izmir, where cats are generally not kept within homes, is as high as in western countries. The sampled houses have measurable levels of Fel d 1 even in the absence of indoor cats. High prevalence of cat sensitivity in Izmir is probably due to indirect exposure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a systematic review to assess the utility of nNO measurement (index test) as a diagnostic tool compared with the reference standard of electron microscopy (EM) evaluation of ciliary defects and/or detection of biallelic mutations in PCD genes.
Abstract: Rationale: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare disorder causing chronic otosinopulmonary disease, generally diagnosed through evaluation of respiratory ciliary ultrastructure and/or genetic testing. Nasal nitric oxide (nNO) measurement is used as a PCD screening test because patients with PCD have low nNO levels, but its value as a diagnostic test remains unknown.Objectives: To perform a systematic review to assess the utility of nNO measurement (index test) as a diagnostic tool compared with the reference standard of electron microscopy (EM) evaluation of ciliary defects and/or detection of biallelic mutations in PCD genes.Data Sources: Ten databases were searched for reference sources from database inception through July 29, 2016.Data Extraction: Study inclusion was limited to publications with rigorous nNO index testing, reference standard diagnostic testing with EM and/or genetics, and calculable diagnostic accuracy information for cooperative patients (generally >5 yr old) with high suspicion ...

TL;DR: In this paper, a five-step sequential liquid-solid extraction procedure was used to speciate the heavy metals into easily exchangeable, carbonate bound, Fe/Mn oxide bound, organic bound, and residual fractions.
Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the distribution of heavy metals in two different contaminated field soils, and to assess its influence on remedial performance. The two field soils were obtained from two different polluted industrial sites in the Metropolitan Chicago area and were characterized for physical and chemical properties. The soils were referred to as silty sand and silty clay, based on their particle-size distribution. A five-step sequential liquid–solid extraction procedure was used to speciate the heavy metals into: (1) easily exchangeable; (2) carbonate bound; (3) Fe/Mn oxide bound; (4) organic bound; and (5) residual fractions. These results showed that all the metals except mercury were predominantly distributed as the Fe/Mn-bound form in silty sand. In contrast, they were distributed as the residual form in silty clay. Results indicated that the metals in both soils were in the forms that are not easily amenable to soil washing using water. Therefore, batch extraction tests with varying concentrations of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 M) and acetic acid (0.5, 0.1 and 2 M) were conducted to identify an optimum soil-washing-based remediation system for both silty sand and silty clay. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid was found to be effective for the remediation of silty sand, while acetic acid was found to be suitable for the removal of metals that existed in residual form in silty clay. Based on these results, total removal efficiency was found to follow the order: sand + EDTA > clay + acetic acid > sand + acetic acid > clay + EDTA. This study showed that the speciation and remediation of heavy metals in soils depend on the sitespecific soil composition, and this should be carefully considered in the selection of an efficient remedial method.
