Mimetic Core‐Sheath Silk Sutures with Superior‐Strength for Pain Management, Anti‐Infection and Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sutures are crucial for tissue approximation and wound healing. Besides their strength limits requirement, they often fail to effectively address complications like infection and pain. Inspired by natural silk's “core‐sheath” structure, our suture features a wet‐spun core of n zinc‐fortified silk fibroin fibers (RSF‐Zn2+) after drawing with ...

Inpatient physical therapy and changes in physical function in an older patient with acute-phase IgA nephropathy: a case report with literature review

Renal Replacement Therapy
Background The effects and safety of acute-phase rehabilitation in older patients with immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy undergoing steroid therapy remain unclear. In particular, evidence on the impact of steroid therapy on physical function is limited.

Hydrogel Microtube Drug Carrier for Catheter‐Based Intravascular Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This paper proposes hydrogel microtube carriers composed of barium alginate gel, enabling long‐term vascular retention without interrupting blood flow. Intravascular treatments have long been attracting attention for therapeutic efficacy, yet practical delivery methods remained unestablished.

Super high-flux dialyzers improve survival in patients on hemodialysis: a cohort study of the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy (JSDT) Renal Data Registry

Renal Replacement Therapy
Background In Japan dialyzers are classified as type I, II, III, IV, or V on the basis of the β 2-microglobulin clearance. In 2023, Type V dialyzers were defined as super high-flux membrane dialyzers.

Affinity‐Tuned Albumin Hitchhiking Extends the Bioorthogonal Capture Window in Pretargeting Radiotheranostics

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Pharmacokinetic engineering of clickable radioligands was achieved via albumin hitchhiking approach within a pretargeted radiotheranostics delivery platform. This approach reduced rapid renal elimination, expanded bioorthogonal capture window, boosted tumor uptake by ∼3.5‐fold, and improved the tumor‐to‐liver ratio by ∼6‐fold.

The utility of stroke volume variation for intravascular volume monitoring during hemodialysis sessions: a case–control pilot study

Renal Replacement Therapy
Background Monitoring intravascular volume is crucial for predicting and preventing intradialytic hypotension (IDH). Stroke volume variation (SVV) is a highly sensitive indicator of changes in plasma volume.

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Gardiquimod Nanoemulsion Targets Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Lesions Reducing Systemic Toxicity and Parasite Burden

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoemulsion delivery of a TLR7 agonist enhances safety and promotes colocalization with Leishmania‐infected macrophages in skin lesions, enabling a ∼2‐log reduction in parasite burden. However, tissue‐level constraints and TLR‐driven regulatory feedback generate a mixed immune response that limits complete parasite clearance.
