Cardiomyocyte Membrane‐Camouflaged Spinach Nano‐Thylakoids Enhance Myocardial Energy Metabolism and Ameliorate Heart Failure

Small, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of the construction of MM‐NTU, its cardiac‐targeting behavior, and its light‐activated therapeutic mechanism. Thylakoids isolated from spinach chloroplasts were processed into nano‐thylakoid units (NTU) and further camouflaged with cardiomyocyte membranes to generate MM‐NTU.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Long‐Term Outcomes of Omniflow II and BioIntegral Xenografts for Open Aortic Reconstruction in Predominantly Infected Settings: A Multicenter Cohort Study

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Evidence surrounding conduit selection for open in situ aortic reconstruction remains limited, particularly for xenograft use in infected settings. We evaluated long‐term outcomes after open aortic and aorto‐iliac reconstruction using BioIntegral No‐React bovine grafts and Omniflow II biosynthetic grafts in patients unsuitable for autologous vein ...

Laparoscopic omentoplasty and split skin graft for deep sternal wound infection and dehiscence patient [PDF]

, 2016
Treatment of sternotomy dehiscence secondary to infection is complex. We describe a case where following debridement and negative pressure therapy the greater omentum was harvested laparoscopically, pedicled on the right gastroepiploic artery and ...

Understanding the Type 2 Immunity: An Evolving View Beyond Allergic Diseases

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Type 2 (T2) immunity is classically associated with defense against helminths and environmental threats, from a physiological perspective, and with allergies and eosinophilic inflammatory diseases, in a pathological sense. However, growing evidence reveals that T2 pathways also support other essential homeostatic functions, including tissue ...

Efficacy of Antimicrobial Silver‐Plated Dressings Compared to Usual Care in Preventing Left Ventricular Assist Device Driveline Infections

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Integrating silver‐plated wound dressings into DLES care presents a safe and effective strategy for DLI prevention. Key findings include a 100% infection‐free rate in the Silverlon group, no NPWT and hospital readmission in the Silverlon group, and no severe DESTINE stages (3, 4) in the Silverlon group.
