LONG-TERM POLARIZATION OF ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES TO A PROFIBROTIC PHENOTYPE AFTER INHALATION EXPOSURE TO MULTI-WALL CARBON NANOTUBES.

Long-term polarization of alveolar macrophages to a profibrotic phenotype after inhalation exposure to multi-wall carbon nanotubes.

BACKGROUND:Nanomaterials are widely used in various fields.Although the toxicity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in pulmonary tissues has been demonstrated, the toxicological effect of CNTs 6-Piece Sectional with Chaise on the immune system in the lung remains unclear.METHODS AND FINDING:In this study, exposure to Taquann-treated multi-walled CNTs (T-CN

Intravenous infusion practices across England and their impact on patient safety: a mixed-methods observational study

Background: Intravenous (IV) medication administration has traditionally been regarded to be error-prone with high potential for harm.A recent US multisite study revealed surprisingly few potentially harmful errors despite a high overall error rate.However, there is limited evidence about infusion practices in England and how they relate to prevale
