3D Printing & Plastic Surgery Scoping ReviewTo identify studies to include or consider for this scoping review, the review team worked with a librarian (SB) to develop detailed search strategies for each database. The PRISMA-ScR extension was followed for search reporting. The librarian (SB) developed the search for PubMed (NLM) and translated the search for every database searched. The PubMed (NLM) search strategy was reviewed by the research team to check for accuracy and term relevancy. All final searches were peer-reviewed by another librarian, Rebecca Fülöp, MLIS, PhD, following the Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies (PRESS checklist). The databases included in this search are [list of databases: PubMed (NLM), Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics), Science Direct (Elsevier), CINAHL (Ebscohost), DOSS Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source (ebscohost) , and Cochrane (Wiley) using a combination of keywords and subject headings. A grey literature search included and Trip Pro Medical Database (https://www.tripdatabase.com) and Medrxiv https://www.medrxiv.org. All final searches were performed on September 11, 2024 by the librarian and were fully reported to the research team on September 13, 2024.

PFAS in the Schuylkill RiverThe project aimed to conduct both targeted analyses of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Schuylkill River. 16 sampling sites were employed to collect data on the occurrence of PFAS along a 50 mile stretch of the river in February, May, and July of 2024. The analysis focused on 40 specific PFAS compounds. All procedures were performed following the US EPA Method 1633, which utilized solid-phase extraction and LC/MC analysis. The data collected in this report indicate the presence of a variety of PFAS compounds at quantifiable levels, with PFBA, 6:2 FTS, PFOA, and PFOS being the most abundant, as found in nearly 100% of the sampling locations. Factors such as population density, proximity to industrial sites, and other pollution sources influence the distribution pattern of these compounds. The factors mentioned above are likely the reason for the increase in the concentrations of targeted PFAS and the number of compounds detected as we move from Pottstown toward the center of Philadelphia. Based on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations for PFOA and PFOS health advisory levels, more than 60% of the samples exhibited a medium-risk profile. However, under the 2024 maximum contamination levels proposed by the EPA, an average of 70% of the samples across all locations showed a high-risk profile, with the remaining samples falling into the medium-risk category. While the ability to fully interpret the risks associated with PFAS in river water is limited, a rough estimation of the risk can be made using current drinking water regulations. This assessment is particularly crucial, as the Schuylkill River is a source of drinking water and is utilized by several wastewater and water treatment plants.

Nerve transfer for restoration of lower motor neuron-lesioned bladder, urethral and anal sphincter function. Part 4: Effectiveness of the motor reinnervationThe original design and necessary modifications of the project plan are as described in part 1 of this series (26). The current study is part 4 of a series reports and results from 30 animals with three main groups (Fig. 1A). The ObNT-ScNT Reinn group consisted of 8 dogs that were in the study a total of 22 months (22 ± 0.4 mo, mean ± SEM, Fig. 1B). At study onset, these ObNT-ScNT Reinn animals functionally decentralized by bilaterally transecting the dorsal roots of L7, all spinal roots caudal to L7, and the hypogastric nerves, followed by a 9-13 mo recovery period (10.4 ± 0.7 mo, Fig. 1C), then reinnervation by transfer of the obturator nerve to the vesical branch of the pelvic nerve, as well as a branch of the sciatic nerve to the pudendal nerve, that was then followed by an additional 8-12 mo recovery (11.9 ± 0.4 mo, Fig. 1C). The Decentralized group consisted of 4 animals that underwent similar decentralization followed by an 11-21 mo recovery (18 ± 2.5 mo, Fig. 1B), but no reinnervation surgeries. Controls consists of 7 sham-operated and 11 unoperated animals (18 total; Fig. 1A).
