Interstitial N‐Strengthened Copper‐Based Bioactive Conductive Dressings Combined with Electromagnetic Fields for Enhanced Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study developed a nitrogen‐strengthened copper‐iron‐zinc (N‐CuFeZn) alloy bioactive dressing integrated with electromagnetic stimulation. The coaxial dressing, made from 0.04 mm filaments with 1120 MPa tensile strength, showed that electromagnetic activation enhanced therapeutic outcomes by increasing VEGF expression, promoting angiogenesis (2.1 ...

Noninvasive optical and nuclear imaging of Staphylococcus-specific infection with a human monoclonal antibody-based probe

Virulence, 2018
Staphylococcus aureus infections are a major threat in healthcare, requiring adequate early-stage diagnosis and treatment. This calls for novel diagnostic tools that allow noninvasive in vivo detection of staphylococci.

Poly(hydroxy‐oxazolidone) Thermoplastic Elastomers for Safer, Greener and Customizable Blood‐Contacting Medical Devices

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A poly(hydroxy‐oxazolidone) (PHOx) is synthesized from CO2‐based precursors, enabling the up‐cycling of this waste material. After synthesis, PHOx shows thermoplastic properties, and can therefore be processed by many temperature‐dependent techniques. PHOx is hemocompatible, anti‐adhesive, and biocompatible, which is demonstrated in vitro and in vivo ...

Metal–Organic Framework‐Based Antimicrobial Touch Surfaces to Prevent Cross‐Contamination

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A MOF‐based antimicrobial door handle cover is developed. It completely inhibits the cross‐contamination of Gram‐positive bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis), Gram‐negative bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii), and fungi (Candida albicans). Abstract Infection diseases

State‐of‐the‐Art, Insights, and Perspectives for MOFs‐Nanocomposites and MOF‐Derived (Nano)Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Different approaches to MOF‐NP composite formation, such as ship‐in‐a‐bottle, bottle‐around‐the‐ship and in situ one‐step synthesis, are used. Owing to synergistic effects, the advantageous features of the components of the composites are beneficially combined, and their individual drawbacks are mitigated.

Nasal decolonization of Staphylococcus aureus with mupirocin: strengths, weaknesses and future prospects [PDF]

, 2009
Staphylococcus aureus in the nose is a risk factor for endogenous staphylococcal infection. UK guidelines recommend the use of mupirocin for nasal decolonization in certain groups of patients colonized with methicillin-resistant S.
