Multilocus genotyping of G. duodenalis revealed assemblages A, B, and D. Mixed infections of assemblages B and D and A and B were found in an Asiatic jackal and a Nilgiri langur, respectively. Elacridar concentration To our knowledge, this is the first report on the occurrence and genetic identity of the two parasites among zoo animals in Bangladesh. The results suggest that zoonotic Cryptosporidium spp. and G. duodenalis are maintained in and transmitted between captive mammals. Therefore, washing, cleaning, and disinfection measures should be implemented to reduce the spread of Cryptosporidium and G. duodenalis infections. The anaesthetised guinea pig is a well characterised assay for early assessment of drug effects on ventricular repolarisation and risk of Torsade de Pointes (TdP). We assessed whether a selective hERG blocker with known TdP risk could be differentiated from lower risk, balanced ion channel blockers in the guinea pig, using corrected QT (QTc) interval alongside novel electrocardiogram (ECG) biomarkers J-T c and T -T . Effects were compared with previous clinical investigations at similar plasma concentrations and with another index of TdP risk, the electromechanical window (EMW). Twenty-two Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs anaesthetised with sodium pentobarbitone were instrumented for haemodynamic measurement and ECG recording. Three ascending doses of vehicle (n=6), dofetilide (2, 6 or 20μg/kg; n=7), ranolazine (2, 6 or 20mg/kg; n=5) or verapamil (0.1, 0.3 or 1.0mg/kg; n=4) were administered intravenously. As reported in previous clinical studies, dofetilide induced dose-dependent increases in QTc interval, with increases in both J-T or T -T , while verapamil caused no significant increase in QTc interval, J-T or T -T . Ranolazine caused dose-dependent increases in QTc interval and corrected J-T c, but had no effect on T -T , which is in contrast to the effects reported in humans at similar concentrations. Only dofetilide caused a clear, dose-related decrease in the EMW. These findings suggest that measurements of J-T c and T -T in addition to QT interval, may help differentiate pure hERG channel blockers with high risk of TdP from lower risk, multichannel blockers. These findings suggest that measurements of J-Tpeakc and Tpeak-Tend in addition to QT interval, may help differentiate pure hERG channel blockers with high risk of TdP from lower risk, multichannel blockers.This editorial summarizes the content of the current themed issue of J Pharmacol Toxicol Methods derived from the 2020 Annual Safety Pharmacology Society (SPS) meeting that was held virtually September 14-17, 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic. A selection of articles arising from the virtual meeting is summarized. Like previous years they continue to reflect current areas of innovation in SP including new methodologies to predict human safety, best practices for IKr current measurement, and best practice considerations for the conduct of in vivo nonclinical QT studies. The meeting included scientific content from 94 abstracts (reproduced in the current volume of J Pharmacol Toxicol Methods). This continued innovation reflects a rubric in SP that identifies problems, seeks solutions and, importantly, validates the solutions. The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of acute kidney injury and chronic renal impairment following branched endovascular aneurysm repair (BEVAR) of complex thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) using the Medtronic Valiant Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm stent graft system (MVM), the physician-modified Visceral Manifold, and Unitary Manifold stent graft systems. The objective was to report the acute and chronic renal function changes in patients following complex TAAA aneurysm repair. This is an analysis of 139 patients undergoing branc
