Development of a Novel Double‐Layered Wound Dressing Composed of Chitosan Film and Tigecycline‐Loaded Electrospun Polycaprolactone Nanofibers

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The antibacterial double‐layered wound dressing is fabricated using chitosan (CH) film as the contact layer and tigecycline (Tig)‐loaded poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers as the top layer. The CH film has a uniform morphology, and the PCL‐Tig nanofibers show a smooth, randomly oriented, and beadless structure.

Partially-Latent Class Models (pLCM) for Case-Control Studies of Childhood Pneumonia Etiology [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
In population studies on the etiology of disease, one goal is the estimation of the fraction of cases attributable to each of several causes. For example, pneumonia is a clinical diagnosis of lung infection that may be caused by viral, bacterial, fungal, or other pathogens.
