Elevated liver enzymes is not an impediment to allopurinol dose escalation: an observational cohort study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Routine liver enzyme monitoring is advocated while on allopurinol but supporting guidance is lacking. We assessed the incidence and factors associated with elevated liver enzymes in gout patients commenced on allopurinol. Methods 150 patients with gout and normal baseline serum aminotransferases initiated on allopurinol were followed ...

Regulated Ion‐Diffusion Hydrogels for Subtle and Multimodal Temperature‐Strain Sensing in Wound Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A soft, dual‐channel hydrogel patch enables simultaneous detection of wound temperature and strain by integrating ion‐diffusion‐mediated thermoelectric and resistive sensing. The conformal design maintains stable performance during motion, capturing subtle inflammatory and mechanical changes for continuous wound monitoring.

An Integrated Oxygen‐Supplying Device and Predictive Multiphysics Model for Extended Ambient Transport of Insulin‐Producing Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cell therapies typically rely on cold‐chain logistics and cryopreservation, limiting access and compromising cell quality. Here, a dual‐chamber device separates an oxygen‐supplying chamber from a hyaluronic acid cargo chamber, sustaining oxygen delivery for over 70 h and enabling ambient‐temperature shipment.

Diabetes mellitus: the linkage between oxidative stress, inflammation, hypercoagulability and vascular complications

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Vascular complications are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. These vascular abnormalities result of a chronic hyperglycemic state, which leads to an increase in oxidative ...
