Article Abstract
Quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe extraction is a modern sample preparation method that involves a number of steps with a low susceptibility to error. The efficiency of a laboratory can be improved not only through labor reduction and consumable savings but also through the use of high-throughput methods and the reduction of wastes. In commercially available kits, different salts and buffers are mixed in anhydrous packages. The composition of these kits are optimized and fixed for particular applications by the suppliers. In this work three model compounds (ibuprofen and two of its main metabolites: hydroxyibuprofen and carboxyibuprofen) were chosen and the amount of each salt (magnesium sulfate, sodium chloride, sodium citrate, and disodium citrate sesquihydrate) in the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe content was optimized for three different soil samples (soils A, B, and C) with different organic carbon contents, using a 2(4) factorial design. The optimized extraction procedure was applied to 12 soil samples; ranging from river sediments to agricultural soils. Based on the analysis 100 samples, a price reduction of 5.1- (soil B), 5.7- (Soil C), and 6.1-fold (soil A) was achieved without compromising the performance of the method when compared to commercial kits.

Williams syndrome (WS) is a genetic, multisystemic, and neurodevelopmental disorder. The prevalence of auditory hypersensitivity in WS is high, especially in childhood, with reports in the literature from 94 to 100% of individuals evaluated, which can generate significant impacts on their quality of life. Therefore, the existence of instruments for screening hyperacusis that are easy and quick to apply for use in clinical routine is essential.

Motivation: Advances in high-throughput technologies have shifted the focus from bulk to single cell or spatial transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of tissues and cell cultures. The resulting increase in gene and/or protein lists leads to the subsequent growth of up- and downregulated pathways lists. This trend creates the need for pathway-network based integration strategies that allow quick exploration of shared and distinct mechanisms across datasets.

Current guidelines recommend early endoscopy (within 24 hours) for hemodynamically stable patients with suspected nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (NVUGIH). We evaluated the use of a new photometric capsule examination (PCE) for stratification of patients into emergency (within 12 hours) and elective (within 48-96 hours) endoscopy.Patients with suspected NVUGIH were enrolled at four centers and received PCE.

Aflatoxin B (AFB) is a potent carcinogen and a major environmental and public health threat owing to its persistence and toxicity. In this study, we developed a ratiometric fluorescence probe with excellent responsiveness and specificity for AFB detection based on a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-assisted Al-MOF@Eu-MOF system. This system leverages a dual-selectivity recognition mechanism, where the MIP layer provides molecular-level recognition and anti-interference capability, and the Al-MOFs contribute structural adaptability through their breathing effect.
