Sterilized Polyhexanide-Releasing Chitosan Membranes with Potential for Use in Antimicrobial Wound Dressings

Membranes, 2023
Wound infection is a common complication of chronic wounds. It can impair healing, which may not occur without external help. Antimicrobial dressings (AMDs) are a type of external help to infected chronic wounds.

Polyhexanide-Releasing Membranes for Antimicrobial Wound Dressings: A Critical Review

Membranes, 2022
The prevalence of chronic, non-healing skin wounds in the general population, most notably diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers and pressure ulcers, is approximately 2% and is expected to increase, driven mostly by the aging population and the steady ...

Spectroscopic Study of the Molecular Structure of the New Hybrid with a Potential Two-Way Antibacterial Effect

Molecules, 2021
Bacterial strains become resistant to almost all classes of antibiotics, which makes it necessary to look for new substitutes. The non-absorbable ciprofloxacin–biguanide bismuth complex, used locally, may be a good alternative to a conventional therapy ...

Inhibition of Chloride Intracellular Channel 1 (CLIC1) as Biguanide Class-Effect to Impair Human Glioblastoma Stem Cell Viability

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
The antidiabetic biguanide metformin exerts antiproliferative effects in different solid tumors. However, during preclinical studies, metformin concentrations required to induce cell growth arrest were invariably within the mM range, thus difficult to ...

Real‐Time Investigation of Interfacial Evolution in Electrochemical Energy Storage Systems via EQCM

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Understanding the electrode/electrolyte interface (EEI) is crucial for supercapacitors and batteries. EQCM, by enabling real‐time monitoring of mass changes during charge–discharge cycles, has evolved into a vital method for analysis of EEI. It provides important insights into charge‐storage mechanisms, electrode structural evolution, ion‐transfer ...

Trends in the utilization, expenditure and costs of noninsulin glucose‐lowering drugs in the Medicaid population: Steady increases in glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist and sodium–glucose transporter‐2 inhibitor use, prices and expenditure

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This study aimed to analyse changes in the utilization, expenditure and average cost of noninsulin glucose‐lowering drugs (GLDs) between 2008 and 2023. Methods This was a retrospective observational study of 2008–2023 data from the National Medicaid State Drug Utilization database.
