Two‐Dimensional Materials For Lateral Flow Assays: A Critical Review of Functional Roles and Translational Challenges

VIEW, EarlyView.
2D nanosheets, with large surface area, excellent optical/electrical properties, and high specificity, combine with lateral flow assay strips to enable rapid, readable detection, boosting the strips’ development and applications. Abstract Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are widely used for point‐of‐care diagnostics, but their detection capability remains ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Strategies for enhancing sensitivity in lateral flow assays

VIEW, EarlyView.
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are essential for cost‐effective, rapid point‐of‐care diagnostics. However, conventional colourimetric LFAs often lack the sensitivity required for low‐abundance biomarkers. This review evaluates six enhancement strategies: flow modulation, sample preconcentration, advanced reporters, chemical signal amplification, structural

Dipeptidyl Peptidase‐4 Inhibitor Use and Risk of Pemphigus Vulgaris and Foliaceus: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using Databases of the Korea National Health Insurance Claims and the National Health Screening Examination

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although population‐based studies have reported an increased risk of bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus associated with dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 (DPP‐4) inhibitors, there is limited, well‐designed epidemiological evidence for pemphigus vulgaris (PV), which has only been supported by case reports thus far.

The Impact of Molluscum Contagiosum on Depression, Anxiety and Quality of Life in Children

The Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and health‐related quality of life between children with molluscum contagiosum and healthy controls and to examine whether lesion number and anatomical localization were associated with these outcomes. This prospectively conducted cross‐sectional study included 72 children with
