onobese patients. The procedural metrics and outcomes were similar, with the exception of greater radiation exposure among obese patients, especially for the procedures performed using system 1 with fusion alone compared with system 2 (fusion and digital zoom). Obese patients had higher QOL mental scores at 2 and 12 months, with a similar reintervention rate, target vessel outcomes, and survival compared with nonobese patients.The existing information supports the use of this material as described in this safety assessment. 2-Phenylpropionaldehyde was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data on read-across analogs 3-phenylbutanal (CAS # 16251-77-7) and isopropylphenylbutanal (CAS # 125109-85-5) show that this material is not expected to be genotoxic. Data from the target material provide a calculated margin of exposure (MOE) >100 for the repeated dose toxicity endpoint and a No Expected Sensitization Induction Level (NESIL) of 380 μg/cm2 for the skin sensitization endpoint. The developmental and reproductive toxicity and the local respiratory toxicity endpoints were completed using the threshold of toxicological concern (TTC) for a Cramer Class I material (0.03 mg/kg/day and 1.4 mg/day, respectively). The phototoxicity/photoallergenicity endpoints were evaluated based on ultraviolet (UV) spectra; 2-phenylpropionaldehyde is not expected to be phototoxic/photoallergenic. The environmental endpoints were evaluated; 2-phenylpropionaldehyde was found not to be persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) as per the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) Environmental Standards, and its risk quotients, based on its current volume of use in Europe and North America (i.e., Predicted Environmental Concentration/Predicted No Effect Concentration [PEC/PNEC]), are less then 1.In the last few years, nanomaterials are widely used sorbents for the extraction of heavy metals in food samples. The nanomaterials have a larger surface area and show high selectivity, fast adsorption capability, and high efficiency for food contaminants (heavy metals). Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), nano-imprinted polymers (NIPs), nano-based metal-organic frameworks (N-MOFs), and silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are most prominent nanomaterials used in the preconcentration and determination of heavy metals. The most popular sorbent-based techniques for the extraction of heavy metals are solid phase extraction (SPE) and solid phase microextraction (SPME). The use of these nanomaterial sorbents increases the extraction efficiency of both techniques. This review summarizes the nanomaterial sorbents (published 2015 to May-2020) used in solid phase extraction (SPE) and solid phase microextraction (SPME) for heavy metals extraction in food.The existing information supports the use of this material as described in this safety assessment. 3,7-Dimethyl-3,6-octadienal was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data from read-across analog citral (CAS # 5392-40-5) show that 3,7-dimethyl-3,6-octadienal is not expected to be genotoxic and provided a calculated margin of exposure (MOE) >100 for the repeated dose toxicity and developmental and reproductive endpoints. Data from the read-across analog citronellal (CAS # 106-23-0) provided 3,7-dimethyl-3,6-octadienal a No Expected Sensitization Induction Level (NESIL) of 7000 μg/cm2 for the skin sensitization endpoint. The phototoxicity/photoallergenicity endpoints were evaluated based on ultraviolet (UV) spectra; 3,7-dimethyl-3,6-octadienal is not expected to be phototoxic/photoallergenic. The local respiratory toxicity endpoint was evaluated using the threshold of toxicological concern (TTC) for a Cramer Class I material, and the exposure to 3,7-dimethyl-3,6-octadienal is below the TTC (1.4 mg/day). The environmental endpoints were evaluated; 3,7-dimethyl-3,6-octadienal was found not to be persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) as per the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) Environmental Standards, and its risk quotients, based on its current volume of use in Europe and North America (i.e., Predicted Environmental Concentration/Predicted No Effect Concentration [PEC/PNEC]), are less then 1.Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and progressive disorder with destructive inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Biologics have changed the management of IBD, but have serious limitations, which is associated with their systemic administration via injection. Oral administration is the most accepted route of drug administration. Raphin1 However, the physiological barriers of the GIT pose significant challenges for oral administration of biologics, making this route of administration currently unavailable. The status of tissue barriers to oral drug delivery is altered in IBD. This may bring more challenges, but also present opportunities for oral delivery of biologics. This article provides an overview of disease-induced alterations of GIT barriers in IBD and discusses challenges, opportunities and commonly-utilised strategies for oral delivery of complex therapeutics, including biologics and nanomedicines.Sustained drug delivery is considered as an effective strategy to improve the treatment of local lung diseases. In this context, inhalation administration of large porous microparticles (LPPs) represents promising prospects. However, one major challenge with said delivery technology is to control the drug release pattern (especially to decrease the burst release) while maintaining a low mass density/high porosity, which is of high significance for the aerodynamic behavior of LPP systems. Here, we show how to engineer drug-loaded, biodegradable LPPs with varying microstructure by means of a premix membrane emulsification-solvent evaporation (PME-SE) method using poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) as the pore former. The influence of PVP concentration on the physicochemical properties, in-vitro drug release behavior and in-vitro aerodynamic performance of the drug-loaded microparticles was tested. We demonstrated that the PME-SE technique led to LPPs with favorable pore distribution characteristics (i.e., low external but high internal porosity) as a function of the PVP concentration.
