Infection-responsivity of Commercial Dressings Through Halochromic Drop-casting [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Infection control remains one of the most challenging tasks in wound care, due to growing antimicrobial resistance and ineffective infection diagnostic tools at the point-of-care. To integrate therapeutic wound dressings with wound monitoring capability at the point-of-care to enable informed clinical decision-making, we investigate the encapsulation ...

Two-layer Electrospun System Enabling Wound Exudate Management and Visual Infection Response [PDF]

Sensors 2019 19(5) E991, 2019
The spread of antimicrobial resistance calls for chronic wound management devices that can engage with the wound exudate and signal infection by prompt visual effects. Here, the manufacture of a two-layer fibrous device with independently-controlled exudate management capability and visual infection responsivity was investigated by sequential free ...

Clinical applications of next‐generation sequencing‐based ctDNA analyses in breast cancer: defining treatment targets and dynamic changes during disease progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possibility for different applications in early and late stage breast cancer management. In early breast cancer tumor informed approaches are increasingly used for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) and early recurrence. In advanced stage, ctDNA provides a possibility for monitoring disease progression and
