Platelet count/spleen diameter ratio for the non-invasive diagnosis of esophageal varices in Iranian patients with cirrhosis

Journal of Current Oncology and Medical Sciences
Introduction: Esophageal varices (EVs) carry a significant risk of rupture and subsequent life-threatening bleeding. While previous research has investigated the effectiveness of the platelet count to spleen diameter ratio (PC/SD) as a non-invasive ...

Selective Laser Sintering 3D Printing of Drug‐Loaded Intravitreal Implants

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Selective laser sintering enables the fabrication of biodegradable and biocompatible intravitreal implants with tunable microstructures for sustained drug delivery. By modulating laser scanning speed, the polymer matrix architecture is engineered to control the release kinetics of dexamethasone and riboflavin over several months. This approach offers a

The health significance of heterotrophic bacteria in drinking water [PDF]

, 1997
Tap water is not sterile; it contains organisms which grow in water distribution systems or inside taps and their fittings. The absence of known pathogenic bacteria is assured by the absence of the indicator organisms but concerns have been raised in the

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...
