Cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), including hydroxyl radicals (OH), superoxide anions (O), peroxides (O), and nitrogen radicals (NO), are derivatives of hydrogen peroxide (HO). Catalase (CAT) is an immunologically important antioxidant enzyme that regulates host redox homeostasis by disintegrating cellular HO into water and oxygen. The identified CAT homolog sequence from Scomber japonicus (SjCAT) comprised 1584 bp, encoding 527 amino acids in length with a molecular weight of 59.

Baclofen withdrawal syndrome is a rare condition that presents with abnormal cardiac rhythm and function. This report describes the case of a 24-year-old man who presented with polypharmacy overdose, including baclofen, who subsequently showed features of baclofen withdrawal, requiring baclofen reintroduction.

Background: Ultrasound is routinely used in the diagnosis of renal calculi and resulting hydronephrosis. However, its utility in the diagnosis and management of urethral calculi is less well understood. The ability to rapidly diagnose urethral calculi using point of care ultrasound (POCUS) would be useful in the emergency department (ED) to improve patient outcomes and avoid more invasive investigations.

NeuroPainting is a high-content morphological profiling assay based on Cell Painting and optimized for human stem cell-derived neural cell types, including neurons, progenitors, and astrocytes. The assay quantifies over 4000 features of cell structure and organelle organization, generating a dataset suitable for phenotypic screening in neural models.
