Independent Risk Factors for Postoperative Intestinal Obstruction and Clinical Outcomes in Simultaneous Pancreas‐Kidney Transplantation Recipients

Organ Medicine, EarlyView.
Intestinal obstruction (IO) is an important but underexplored complication following simultaneous pancreas‐kidney transplantation (SPKT) and is associated with considerable morbidity and both clinical and economic burdens. In this single‐center cohort study, perioperative parameters, including demographic characteristics, surgical variables, and ...

Sickle Cell Disease: Historical Overview and Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide, yet the limited treatment options currently available do not always adequately control the disease and carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, a procedure that carries considerable challenges and numerous ...

Longitudinal improvements in comfort, mobility, and quality of life with adjustable‐volume prosthetic sockets

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The prosthetic socket is central to the comfort, function, and satisfaction for lower‐limb prosthesis users. Traditional fixed‐geometry sockets offer limited adjustability and sometimes fail to accommodate daily changes in residual limb volume or shape, leading to poor load distribution, discomfort, skin issues, and reduced quality ...

Effects of adjustable‐volume transfemoral prosthetic sockets on balance and falls: A randomized clinical trial

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Adjustable‐volume prosthetic sockets have been developed to allow users to accommodate volume fluctuations throughout the day. Improvement in socket fit is thought to enhance the connection between the user's residual limb and prosthesis and may therefore improve postural control and balance.

Endocytosis‐independent cytosolic entry of messenger RNA via fluorous bilayer zippering attenuating Toll‐like receptor signaling and enables ischemic tissue salvage

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
The present study establishes a paradigm shift in synthetic mRNA delivery through the convergence of three orthogonal chemistries—perfluoro‐acylation, bio‐orthogonal click cross‐linking, and disulfide reduction—within a single, modular polymer architecture. Abstract A fundamental constraint of conventional messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery systems is their

Biomarkers to predict outcomes in diabetic foot ulcers

VIEW, EarlyView.
Studies attempting to predict the healing outcome of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) have investigated various biological materials and recovered molecules that may aid in discriminating wounds that will heal and those that will not heal. This graphical abstract captures the commonly studied classes of biomarkers in the context of DFUs.
