Sickle Cell Disease: Historical Overview and Current Therapies
Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide, yet the limited treatment options currently available do not always adequately control the disease and carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, a procedure that carries considerable challenges and numerous ...

Vascular access cannulation in hemodialysis patients: technical approach
Brazilian Journal of Nephrology, 2019 Introduction: The vascular access cannulation technique varies among clinics, and guidelines on vascular access give little importance to cannulation techniques. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cannulation technique and to determine which

Polymer International, EarlyView.An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.The present study establishes a paradigm shift in synthetic mRNA delivery through the convergence of three orthogonal chemistries—perfluoro‐acylation, bio‐orthogonal click cross‐linking, and disulfide reduction—within a single, modular polymer architecture. Abstract A fundamental constraint of conventional messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery systems is their

Biomarkers to predict outcomes in diabetic foot ulcers
VIEW, EarlyView.Studies attempting to predict the healing outcome of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) have investigated various biological materials and recovered molecules that may aid in discriminating wounds that will heal and those that will not heal. This graphical abstract captures the commonly studied classes of biomarkers in the context of DFUs.

Complex biomechanical study of chitosan microtubes
Russian Open Medical Journal, 2019 Mechanical parameters of a biotransplant made of the aminopolysaccharide chitosan were estimated in an in vitro experiment. Using the values obtained, finite element simulation of the "arterial vessel-microtube" system was carried out. As a result of our
