Microfluidic Nano‐Assembly of Red‐Blood‐Cell (RBC) Lipids and Components for Engineering Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered red blood cell‐derived extracellular vesicles (eRBCEVs) are synthesized via controlled microfluidic assembly from native RBC lipids, enabling tunable encapsulation of proteins, nucleic acids, nanoparticles, and viral vectors. The platform demonstrates reproducible nanoscale architecture, preserved membrane composition, and functional cargo ...

Airway hydration homeostasis in artificial airways: from mucus biophysics to monitoring and humidification strategies in critical care: a narrative review

Frontiers in Medicine
Artificial airway placement bypasses the physiological warming and humidifying functions of the upper airway. This produces a distal shift of the isothermic saturation boundary and exposes the tracheobronchial mucosa to additional evaporative stress ...

Patients' and Relatives' Perceptions About Intravenous and Subcutaneous Hydration [PDF]

Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, 2005
Hydration during palliative care is a controversial topic. Most of the arguments are based on anedoctal reports that have not been substantiated with scientific data. Given that the choice is problematic from a clinical perspective, preferences of patients and family should dictate whether intravenous fluids are administered.
