Time‐Controlled Dual Targeting to Program Systemic and Intercellular Transfer of Therapeutic Effects
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Aspirin‐liposomes loaded onto monocytes enable inflammation‐triggered targeting and efficient hand‐over of aspirin to inflamed cells. Monocytes uptake a significant portion of aspirin‐liposomes, prolonging therapeutic action. This approach enhances anti‐inflammatory effects through intercellular transfer, demonstrating a translational strategy for ...

Design and implementation of a medical device test stand for micro-catheters and guide-wires
Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2021 The use of catheters and guide-wires in minimally invasive therapeutic approaches is an important part of clinical practice. In the neurovascular field, the unique nature of cerebral blood vessels necessitates very thin-walled and flexible catheters. The

Deep Q-Network-Driven Catheter Segmentation in 3D US by Hybrid Constrained Semi-Supervised Learning and Dual-UNet [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Catheter segmentation in 3D ultrasound is important for computer-assisted cardiac intervention. However, a large amount of labeled images are required to train a successful deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to segment the catheter, which is expensive and time-consuming.

Arterial catheter-related infection of 2,949 catheters [PDF]
Critical Care, 2006 Abstract Introduction Which particular arterial catheter site is associated with a higher risk of infection remains controversial. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines of 1996 and the latest guidelines of 2002 make no recommendation about which site or sites minimize the risk of ...

Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...
