Every state and U.S. territory is at risk for vector-borne diseases (VBDs). The number of reported VBD cases doubled from 2004 to 2018. Tickborne diseases represent almost 80 percent of reported VDB cases in the contiguous United States. Ten vector-borne pathogens were newly identified in the United States in the past 16 years, including chikungunya virus, Zika virus, and six tickborne pathogens. For various reasons, many people don’t like to use insect repellents. To address mosquito- and tickborne disease threats, products that people accept and are willing to use to protect themselves from bites are needed. In addition, mosquitoes are becoming increasingly resistant to insecticides. New publicly supported insecticide options are necessary.
Ethylene and 1-MCP Team Up to Halt Sweet Potato Sprouting and Prolong Shelf Life 3-Sep-2025 10:00 AM EDT, by Chinese Academy of Sciences Newswise: Ethylene and 1-MCP Team Up to Halt Sweet Potato Sprouting and Prolong Shelf Life Figure 1 (a) -1 Color and -2 sprout changes of Kokei No.14 sweet potato roots after exposure to 1-MCP (30 μl·L−1), ETH (200 μL·L−1), ETH + 1-MCP (200 μL·L−1 + 30 μL·L−1) after one week. (b) -1 Average percentage weight loss, -2 respiration rates, -3 chroma, -4 hue, -5 and lightness of Kokei No.14 sweet potato roots subjected to different treatments: Air (Control), 1-MCP, ETH, and ETH + 1-MCP. -6 Changes in starch, -7 sucrose, and -8 flavonoid content in D (dormancy) and S (Sprouting) period. Each data point is a mean of three replicates with six roots. Means followed by different letters at the same sampling point indicate statistical differences according to Tukey's test (p < 0.05).

Sugammadex By Kaarthik Chandrasekhar; Brandon M. Togioka; Jeremiah L. Jeffers. Last Update: May 29, 2023. Continuing Education Activity Sugammadex is a modified gamma-cyclodextrin that is used to reverse steroidal non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking drugs rocuronium and vecuronium. Residual neuromuscular blockade is common after surgery, with an estimated 30 to 60% incidence in the recovery room. The low-level neuromuscular blockade, lower than what can be observed with the naked eye, has been linked to hypoxia, supralaryngeal muscle weakness that predisposes to upper airway obstruction, impaired swallowing, and an increased risk for aspiration. Sugammadex increases the speed of neuromuscular blockade reversal and greatly reduces the risk for residual neuromuscular paralysis.
FDA plans to review chemicals in US food supply, official says By Tom Polansek May 16, 20257:02 AM GMT+8Updated May 16, 2025 ROSEMONT, Illinois, May 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration plans to step up safety reviews on chemicals in foods, including one widely used as a preservative in products containing fats, said Kyle Diamantas, the agency's top food official, on Thursday.
Choosing your insect repellent key facts on DEET, picaridin, and natural choices A Petri dish containing several mosquito samples. Mosquitoes traps are stationed at several sites across Kalamazoo County for vector sampling throughout the summer months. (WWMT) With summer in full swing across West Michigan, odds are you've already battled what's sometimes called the state bird: mosquitoes. With Jamestown Canyon Virus detected in a mosquito earlier this month in Kalamazoo County, health officials encouraged residents to protect themselves against mosquito-borne illness. Wearing insect repellant usually tops the list of precautionary actions you can take for preventing mosquito bites. With many different products to choose from, it's important to know which key ingredients are considered safe and effective.
