A dual‐layer high‐pressure drug‐coated balloon (HP@DCB) increased balloon‐wall contact and promoted deeper paclitaxel (PTX) penetration than a conventional noncompliant DCB. In in vivo study, HP@DCB treatment improved luminal patency and reduced neointimal hyperplasia, supporting pressure‐assisted drug delivery as a promising strategy for enhancing the

"A pain that ruins mountains" : a case study of factors influencing postoperative pain management in two Jordanian hospitals [PDF]
Postoperative pain is still poorly managed among surgical patients despite evidence-based approaches to its treatment being well established. Prompted by the persistence of this problem, many researchers have studied factors influencing postoperative ...

Advanced Materials for Biologics Delivery to Brain Tumors
Material innovation is central to unlocking the therapeutic potential of biologics against many central nervous system diseases, including brain cancer. By engineering carriers with controlled transport, targeting, and release properties, advanced materials can overcome the blood–brain barrier and tumor microenvironment, improving the delivery of ...

Scalable Fabrication of Chemically Stabilized Gelatin Hydrogel Fibers by Thermal Drawing
Scalable processing of hydrogel fibers remains a major challenge. By coupling thermal drawing with Maillard chemistry, a transient viscous‐flow window is created that enables continuous fabrication of microstructured gelatin fibers tens of meters long, while continued in situ crosslinking during drawing stabilizes the fibers for physiological ...

3D Printed Photon Shield Assembly for Low‐Noise Visual Stimulation During Two‐Photon Imaging in Mice
We present the Photon Shield, an open‐hardware system for low‐noise two‐photon calcium imaging during visual stimulation in mice. Combining a 3D‐printed headplate and rail‐mounted shield substantially reduces stray‐light contamination, as quantitatively verified. Functional validation confirms reliable cortical responses. Open design files enable broad

Postoperative care in trichiasis surgery
Postoperative care is an important aspect of trachomatous trichiasis (TT) surgical services. Follow-up visits should ideally take place on the first postoperative day (to remove the eye patch), after 8–14 days (to remove sutures; optional if absorbable ...

Free serum cortisol during the postoperative acute phase response determined by equilibrium dialysis liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry [PDF]
In severely ill patients low concentrations of the corticosteroid binding globulin are typically found; the aim of this study was to quantify directly free bioactive cortisol concentrations in the sera of postoperative cardiosurgical patients.
