Endoscopic vacuum therapy for leaky cavities: is it possible?

Revista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas
A 71-year-old male patient with a history of bladder neoplasia underwent Bricker-type surgery, during which an iatrogenic rectal injury occurred. During surgery, an unsuccessful suture attempt was made, leading to the appearance of fecaluria after 48 hours. A computed tomography scan revealed a small continuity defect in the rectal wall, accompanied by

Kirigami‐Inspired Deployable Microneedle Robot With Enhanced Conformability for Targeted Oral Drug Delivery

Small, EarlyView.
We have engineered a kirigami‐inspired deployable microneedle robot (KiriBot) capable of remotely controlled attachment to target tissues for sustained drug release. KiriBot incorporates a flexible structure that enhances conformability, improves adherence to irregular tissues, and facilitates microneedle insertion.

Endocytosis‐independent cytosolic entry of messenger RNA via fluorous bilayer zippering attenuating Toll‐like receptor signaling and enables ischemic tissue salvage

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
