Innovative PLA or PCL‐Based Ocular Implants Obtained From Tape Casting or Electrospinning for Sustained‐Release Dexamethasone

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 43, November 15, 2026.
PLA and PCL ocular implants prepared by tape casting and electrospinning provide sustained dexamethasone release with distinct release profiles governed by polymer type and processing method. The relationship between polymer structure, degradation behavior, and drug release demonstrates the potential of these fabrication techniques for controlled ...

Fungal Keratitis Among Patients With Microbial Keratitis or Corneal Ulcer in Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Fungal keratitis is a sight‐threatening cause of microbial keratitis in tropical, resource‐limited settings, but its burden in Africa has not been synthesized. We estimated the pooled prevalence of fungal keratitis among patients with microbial keratitis or corneal ulcer in Africa and summarized reported etiological ...

Molecular Epidemiology of Varicella‐Zoster Virus Among Patients From Two French Tertiary Care Hospitals: Differential Distribution of Clades According to Demographic Criteria

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Varicella‐zoster virus (VZV) nomenclature currently recognizes seven established clades (designated 1–6 and 9). A geographical segregation of VZV clades has been shown, with Clades 1, 3, and 6 predominating in Europe, Americas, and Australia, Clade 2 in Japan and East‐Asia, and Clades 4 and 5 in Asia and Africa. This distribution of VZV clades

Continuous Intravenous Acyclovir as Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy for HSV and VZV Neurological Infections: A Case Series With Pharmacokinetic and Cost Evaluation, and Review of Literature

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Varicella zoster virus (VZV) and herpes simplex virus (HSV) are major causes of viral meningitis and encephalitis. Standard intermittent intravenous acyclovir requires hospitalisation, reducing patient comfort and prolonging admissions. Continuous infusion may maintain therapeutic plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations while ...
