Article Abstract

To investigate the quality and safety difference between agricultural standardization bases and small-scale farmers, we carried out a three-year investigation of asparagus from seven production sites of different sizes in Pinghu city, Zhejiang Province, China, from 2021 to 2023. We documented trace elements (Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu), quality indicators (vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, total sugar, and proteins), and pesticide residues. The evaluation indicated that the quality of asparagus in standardization bases 1-4 was higher than that in small farmer sites 5-7. The detection rate of pesticides in asparagus was 23.81% (15/63), with a low concentration range of 0.001-0.130 mg mL. Low pesticide levels reflect Pinghu's effective green pest control measures. Results showed that the quality and safety of asparagus at the standardization bases are superior to those at small-scale farmer sites, and our findings may inform better management practices for both large-scale and small-scale asparagus farmers.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a major clinical challenge, particularly among patients with refractory ulcers, that often lead to severe complications such as infection, amputation, and high mortality. Innovations supported by strong clinical evidence have the potential to improve healing outcomes, enhance quality of life, and reduce the economic burden on individuals and health care systems.

Objective: To describe the design of the concurrent optical and magnetic stimulation (COMS) therapy Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study for refractory DFUs (MAVERICKS) trial.

Department of Palliative Medicine, OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital, Columbus, Ohio (Beachy, Aung, Malone, Petros, Bertke); Department of Pharmacy, OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital, Columbus, Ohio (Durell, Tressel).

Background: Opioids are widely used for pain management in hospitalized adults and can be administered through various routes. While oral (PO) and intravenous (IV) routes remain most common, the subcutaneous (SUB-Q) route is underutilized despite historical safety and supporting literature.

Objective: This quality improvement study implemented a revised standard of practice (SOP) for opioid administration, promoting the PO route when feasible and SUB-Q as the preferred parenteral route.
