International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences, 2015 AbstractSickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic blood disorder affecting red blood cells, with high morbidity and mortality rates. The United Nations has recognized SCD as a global public health concern, and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that 50% of member states will have established SCD control programs by 2020 (World Health ...

Pneumococcus and the stress-gradient hypothesis: a trade-off links $R_0$ and susceptibility to co-colonization across countries [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Modern molecular technologies have revolutionized our understanding of bacterial epidemiology, but reported data across different settings remain under-integrated in common theoretical frameworks. Pneumococcus serotype co-colonization, caused by the polymorphic bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae, has been increasingly investigated in recent years. While

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived nanoghosts (MSC‐NGs) mimic naturally secreted extracellular vesicles (MSC‐EVs) in structure and physicochemical properties but can be synthesized at more translatable yields. As osteogenic agents, MSC‐NGs demonstrate superior outcomes compared to MSC‐EVs.

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

Critical appraisal on mitochondrial dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease
AGING MEDICINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 272-280, December 2022., 2022 Amyloid plaques deposit on neurons in case of Alzheimer's Disease. Mitochondria play a vital role in pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to formation of mPTP, alteration of complexes 1,3 and 4, deficits in bioenergetics with impaired mitochondrial biogenesis. Abstract It is widely recognized that Alzheimer's disease (

Children and the Data Cycle: Rights and Ethics in a Big Data World [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In an era of increasing dependence on data science and big data, the voices of one set of major stakeholders - the world's children and those who advocate on their behalf - have been largely absent. A recent paper estimates one in three global internet users is a child, yet there has been little rigorous debate or understanding of how to adapt ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study proposes tribenzyl organic cation carried multidentate X‐type Lewis soft base to enhance adhesion and passivate defects simultaneously, aiming to achieve foldable and efficient perovskite nanocrystal‐based light‐emitting diodes. The resulting pure red F‐PeLEDs exhibit a recorded high EQE of 16.2% and robust mechanical properties to endure ...
