Alkali‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Acylglycerol Estolides Exclusively from Castor Oil

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
This work advances sustainable chemistry by converting renewable castor oil into high‐performance estolides via solvent‐free, low‐energy catalysis. ABSTRACT Estolides are oligomers composed of fatty acid (FA) monomers linked through secondary ester bonds located along the mid‐chain region.

Aqueous humour proteins and treatment outcomes of anti-VEGF therapy in neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

PLoS ONE, 2020
We aimed to construct a better model for predicting treatment outcomes of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) using the concentrations of aqueous humour proteins at baseline and during ...

PRN Medicines Optimization and Nurse Education

Pharmacy, 2020
Medicines management is a high-risk and error prone process in healthcare settings, where nurses play an important role to preserve patient safety. In order to create a safe healthcare environment, nurses should recognize challenges that they face in ...

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

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

Bioeconomy, sustainability, and digital technologies in Haematococcus lacustris biomass and astaxanthin production: advances and outlook

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Astaxanthin is a carotenoid with strong antioxidant properties, used in research on cancer treatment, ocular injuries, and neurological disorders. When produced by the microalgae Haematococcus lacustris, its antioxidant potential is even higher than that of the synthetic molecule, making it particularly attractive for pharmaceutical and ...

The quantification and epistemology of medicines use and polypharmacy tested in an observational study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Definitions of ‘medicines use’ and ‘polypharmacy’ may refer to all medicines, regular long‐term medicines or another subset. Valid definitions of medicines use should incorporate type of use (long term, short course and as needed [PRN]), changes in use (start, stop and dose change) and a description of temporal examination (cross‐sectional or ...

Tooth autotransplantation following extraction of periodontally hopeless teeth in a periodontitis patient

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The aim of the study is to report clinical outcomes of autogenous tooth transplantation (ATT) of fully developed third molars following the extraction of periodontally hopeless teeth as a part of the treatment of a stage III, grade C, molar‐incisor pattern (MIP) periodontitis case.

Simplified SPAL technique to provide adequate peri‐implant phenotype: A pilot study

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Correction of peri‐implant bone dehiscence (PIBD) and optimization of the peri‐implant soft‐tissue phenotype are critical for long‐term peri‐implant tissues stability. A simplified, one‐stage, transmucosal variant of the subperiosteal peri‐implant augmented layer (sSPAL) technique was appraised and evaluated.

Photoinduced ROS Production by Poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is due to Autoxidation Rather Than Catalysis

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
P3HT is widely treated as a photocatalyst that generates ROS under light. We show otherwise: ROS production comes at the expense of the polymer itself. Photoexcited P3HT acts as a self‐sacrificial photosubstrate, undergoing irreversible autoxidation during light‐driven oxygen reduction—a distinction critical for interpreting its behavior in emerging ...
