Driving Drugs Deeper: Force‐Driven Microneedle Systems for Active Therapy and Their Road Towards Clinical Implementation

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Force‐driven microneedles are presented as active therapeutic microdevices that overcome the diffusion limits of conventional patches. By integrating gas generation, magnetic actuation, cavitation, or iontophoresis, these systems drive payloads deeper into tissue, enabling faster, more controlled delivery and highlighting key design principles and ...

Lyme Borreliosis with Scalp Eschar Mimicking Rickettsial Infection, Austria

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
We report on a patient in Austria with scalp eschar and neck lymphadenopathy. Rickettsial etiology was excluded by culture, PCR, and serologic tests. Borrelia afzelii was identified from the eschar swab by PCR.

International Practice Variation in Post‐Tonsillectomy Hemorrhage: A Survey Study of Pediatric Otolaryngologists

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A significant complication of pediatric tonsillectomy is post‐tonsillectomy bleeding (PTB). Management within and outside of the operating room (OR) is not standardized. We consolidated international similarities and differences in PTB management.

Time to Clinical Dryness and Wound Outcomes After Drainless DAA Total Hip Arthroplasty With Standardized Multilayer Symmetric PDS Plus Closure: Bikini Versus Longitudinal Incisions

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Standardized drainless DAA‐THA closure using Symmetric PDS Plus is safe and efficient, with “time to clinical dryness” serving as a pragmatic indicator of early healing. Furthermore, bikini incisions significantly improve aesthetics without compromising safety, as wound complication risks are primarily driven by host comorbidities.

Invasive Fungal Infections in Heart Transplants: A 10‐Year, Single Centre Retrospective Cohort Study From Subtropical Australia

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
In this 10‐year retrospective cohort study of heart transplant recipients in subtropical Australia, we characterize the incidence and microbiological profile of invasive fungal infections, highlighting the underappreciated burden of late‐onset and non‐Aspergillus mold infections and the potential underdiagnosis of polymicrobial disease.

Orientia tsutsugamushi in human scrub typhus eschars shows tropism for dendritic cells and monocytes rather than endothelium.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
Scrub typhus is a common and underdiagnosed cause of febrile illness in Southeast Asia, caused by infection with Orientia tsutsugamushi. Inoculation of the organism at a cutaneous mite bite site commonly results in formation of a localized pathological ...
