Drug‐coated balloons: From conventional designs to next‐generation innovations in vascular therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) from conventional designs to next‐generation platforms. We highlight innovations in balloon engineering, coating technologies, and therapeutic agents that enhance localized drug delivery while addressing challenges in efficiency, safety, and biocompatibility for vascular and emerging non ...

Rethinking asthma therapy, part 2: transdermal strategies for adjunct asthma and allergy treatments

Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences
Asthma and allergies affect millions of people globally. Avoiding triggers and allergens is a basic management technique for all asthma subtypes (>80% of asthma patients also suffer from allergies), and pharmacological treatment is the cornerstone for

Transfersomes with core and surface‐loaded NF‐κB p65 siRNA for enhanced transdermal transfection and effective treatment of psoriasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
TCPL, a transfersome with Tween 80 and PEI, enables efficient transdermal siNF‐κB delivery, resolving PEI's toxicity issue. It promotes lysosomal escape and effective transfection, silences NF‐κB, modulates immunity, and inhibits angiogenesis, alleviating psoriasis. With good biocompatibility, TCPL holds strong clinical translation potential. Schematic

A narrow bandgap Schottky heterojunction Fe2N/CeO2 microneedle triggering sonodynamic reactive oxygen species storm for drug‐resistance‐free skin fungal infection

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Inorganic sonosensitizers suffer from inefficient electron‐hole separation, rapid recombination, and wide bandgaps in anti‐fungal applications. We propose MN@Fe2N/CeO2 to directly eliminate fungi without drug resistance. Combining semiconductor CeO2's advantages with Fe2N's high work function and activity enables efficient Schottky heterojunctions ...

Micro‐ and nanoplastics in gastrointestinal disorders: Mapping the translational gap between exposure, biomonitoring, and pathogenic mechanisms

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.

The Impact of a Visualized Steerable Sheath on Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for First‐Time Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Prospective, Randomized, Single‐Blind Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A 3D electroanatomical mapping (3D‐EAM) visualized steerable sheath was designed to improve catheter placement and reduce radiation exposure during ablation, an established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, prospective randomized data comparing the procedural and clinical outcomes of visualized and non‐visualized ...

Comparative Outcomes of Transcatheter Versus Surgical Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary valve replacement is frequently required in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). Comparative real‐world outcomes between percutaneous transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVR) and surgical pulmonary valve replacement (SPVR) remain incompletely characterized. We evaluated outcomes and resource utilization for

Long‐Term Trends in Cardiac Erosion After Transcatheter Closure of Atrial Septal Defects With the Amplatzer Septal Occluder

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Trends in cardiac erosion after closure of secundum atrial septal defects (ASD) with the Amplatzer Septal Occluder (ASO) have not been assessed since updates were made to the Instructions for Use in 2012 and 2018. This study evaluates the incidence and demographics of ASO erosion over time since its introduction in 1996.

Drug‐Coated Balloon‐Based Strategy for De Novo Coronary Artery Disease Across Complex and High‐Risk Indicated Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Risk Categories: A Multicenter Registry Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Evidence regarding the risk‐stratified effectiveness of drug‐coated balloon (DCB)‐based PCI for de novo coronary artery disease (CAD) remains limited, particularly in patients undergoing complex and high‐risk indicated percutaneous coronary intervention (CHIP PCI).
