A prospective randomised pilot study evaluating the safety of the novel LubriShield™ Foley catheter: a permanently coated indwelling urinary catheter

Scandinavian Journal of Urology
Objective: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are prevalent healthcare-associated infections, arising from biofilm-forming bacteria. This may be prevented by coating the catheter with an antifouling substance.

Ionic liquids: structure–toxicity relationships, predictive toxicology, and sustainable design

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ionic liquids (ILs) have often been described as green alternatives to conventional solvents because of their negligible vapor pressure and highly tunable properties. However, low volatility does not necessarily translate into environmental safety, as their biological and ecological effects are strongly influenced by molecular structure.

Adhesion of Hydrogels to Fluoropolymers by Electrophoretic Fluoropolymer Coating

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Both fluoropolymers and hydrogels are generally regarded as difficult‐to‐bond materials; however, adhesion between them was achieved by coating the hydrogel with a fluorinated copolymer. ABSTRACT Although hydrogels are widely used in bio‐integrated devices and soft systems, their robust adhesion to polymers with low surface energies remains a ...

Impact of Monomer Purity on the Acid‐Catalyzed ROP of Sarcosine N‐Carboxyanhydrides: A Comparative Study of Phosgene‐Free Synthetic Routes toward High‐Molecular‐Weight Polysarcosine

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
A robust, phosgene‐free oxalyl chloride/silyl‐mediated route yields high‐purity sarcosine N‐carboxyanhydride (Sar‐NCA) by eliminating residual impurities that compromise polymerization control. This strategy enables well‐defined, acid‐catalyzed ring‐opening polymerization under ambient conditions, producing polysarcosine with Mn up to 186 kDa and ...

Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry: Fundamental Principles, Diverse Applications, and the Latest Technological Frontiers

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The review examines the evolution of chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CI‐MS), a technique developed in 1966 by Field and Munson. CI is a soft‐ionization method that produces more intense molecular ions with less fragmentation than electron ionization (EI).
