Chitosan-Based Intelligent Microneedles for Delivery of Amphotericin B Loaded Oleosomes: Antifungal Ocular Patch Targeting for Effective Against Fungal Keratitis Using Rabbit Model... by Elhabal SF, Al-Zuhairy SAKS, Elrefai MFM, El-Nabarawi MA, Hababeh S, Zarif Attalla K, Shoela MS, Nelson J, Fady M, Elzohairy NA, Amin ME, Ahmed HS, Ewedah TM, Mousa I, Hamdan AME

“…Amphotericin-B (AmB), a water-insoluble and low-permeability, necessitates innovative delivery systems to improve its therapeutic efficacy.Methods: AmB was encapsulated within oleosomes (Ole) prepared using the ethanol injection method, using phosphatidylcholine (Lipoid S100) and sodium oleate, resulting in nanosized spherical globules. The optimized Ole were characterized, then the selected Ole were incorporated into sodium polyacrylate/PEG/chitosan-based microneedles (AmB-Ole/MNs) to improve ocular delivery by creating transient microchannels on the eye surface.Results: The optimized Ole showed a droplet size of (175 ± 0.78 nm), polydispersity index of (0.33 ± 0.04), zeta potential of (31 ± 0.43 mV), high entrapment efficiency (91± 0.63%), and improved stability, bioavailability, and controlled drug release. …”

CyberUnits Bricks: An Implementation Study of a Class Library for Simulating Nonlinear Biological Feedback Loops by Johannes W. Dietrich, Nina Siegmar, Jonas R. Hojjati, Oliver Gardt, Bernhard O. Boehm

“…Although methods of biomedical cybernetics and systems biology help to translate between the structure and function of processing structures, computer simulations are necessary for studying nonlinear systems and the full range of dynamic responses of feedback control systems. Currently, available approaches for modelling and simulation comprise basically domain-specific environments, toolkits for computer algebra systems and custom software written in universal programming languages for a specific purpose, respectively. …”

Comparative analysis of four nutritional scores in predicting delirium in ICU patients by Chunchun Yu, Lefu Chen, Xiong Lei, Zhixiao Xu, Hongjun Zhao, Chengshui Chen, Chengshui Chen

“…The study used four nutritional assessment tools: Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Triglycerides (TG) × Total Cholesterol (TC) × Body Weight (BW) Index (TCBI), and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) modeling, single-factor logistic regression, and multivariate stepwise logistic regression were employed to elucidate the relationships between each nutritional score and delirium. …”

Collagenase injection versus limited fasciectomy surgery to treat Dupuytren’s contracture in adult patients in the UK: DISC, a non-inferiority RCT and economic evaluation by Joseph Dias, Puvan Tharmanathan, Catherine Arundel, Charlie Welch, Qi Wu, Paul Leighton, Maria Armaou, Belen Corbacho, Nick Johnson, Sophie James, John Cooke, Christopher Bainbridge, Michael Craigen, David Warwick, Samantha Brady, Lydia Flett, Judy Jones, Catherine Knowlson, Michelle Watson, Ada Keding, Catherine Hewitt, David Torgerson

“…The probability of collagenase being cost-effective was 72% at the £20,000 threshold but limited fasciectomy became the optimal treatment at thresholds over £25,488. The Markov model found the probability of collagenase being cost-effective at the lifetime horizon dropped below 22% at thresholds over £20,000. …”
