Metal nanostructure‐coupled label‐free localized surface plasmon resonance biosensors for rapid and sensitive disease diagnosis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
LSPR biosensing enables rapid, sensitive, and low‐sample‐volume detection of biomarkers, with broad applications in diagnosing cancer, infectious, and chronic diseases. Advances in nanostructure design, micro/nanofabrication, and microfluidic integration have expanded the potential of LSPR sensors in biomedical diagnostics.

The effect of mannose-binding protein gene polymorphisms in recurrent respiratory system infections in children and lung tuberculosis

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2003
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is able to bind pathogens as an opsonin and plays an important role in the innate immunity. The aim of the present study was to determine the frequencies of the MBL gene variants in the Turkish population and to ...

Compliant hydrogel cuff coating with real‐time pressure monitoring and antibiofilm capabilities for ventilator‐associated pneumonia prophylaxis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A soft‐compliant hydrogel cuff coating combines real‐time pressure monitoring with intrinsic antibacterial activity for prophylaxis of ventilator‐associated pneumonia. A flexible pressure‐sensing patch is embedded in the coating to enable wireless dynamic monitoring of endotracheal cuff pressure through Bluetooth.

Electron compensation‐gated nanomotor for immunomodulation and microenvironment remodeling in bacterial pneumonia therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A nanomotor featuring an “electronic lock” via electron compensation in an Au‐Ag alloy ensures therapeutic precision. Near‐infrared light acts as a key, unlocking on‐demand Ag+ release for synergistic bactericidal action and microenvironment remodeling to potently treat bacterial pneumonia. Abstract Bacterial pneumonia treatment is severely hampered by

A case series of necrotizing periodontal diseases in hospitalized patients: What hasn't been said yet?

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Necrotizing periodontal diseases (NPDs) are uncommon and severe inflammatory conditions characterized by tissue necrosis, painful ulceration, and rapid clinical progression, frequently associated with systemic immunosuppression. Limited data exist regarding their clinical presentation and management in hospital settings.
