Ingestible biosensors for drug delivery monitoring.

Ingestible biosensors are a mix of advanced biomedical engineering, digital health and precision pharmacotherapy. These miniaturised electronic devices are encapsulated in biocompatible materials, which operate within gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This enables real-time monitoring of pharmacological and physiological parameters.

Economic Assessment of Bio-oil Production from Algae: A Bibliometric Analysis.

Introduction: The production of bio-oil from microalgae is gaining attention as an alternative renewable energy source. To generate advances in this field, it is essential to identify the gaps in existing research. Overcoming this barrier necessitates addressing methodologies that can assess the existing work and develop relationships between publications, research groups, and their impact.

Advances in Artemisinin-based Therapies: Innovations in Synthesis, Drug Delivery, and Expanding Therapeutic Applications.

Artemisinin, a natural compound derived from Artemisia annua, has significantly impacted the treatment of malaria and has shown promise in various other therapeutic applications. This review explores the molecular structure of artemisinin and its derivatives, as well as advancements in synthetic and semi-synthetic production methods, and their broader therapeutic effects beyond malaria, including potential uses in cancer, neurological disorders, and viral infections. It also discusses contemporary drug delivery innovations, such as nanoparticles and liposomal systems, which aim to enhance the bioavailability and targeted action of artemisinin, while addressing issues of drug resistance, particularly in parasitic diseases like malaria.

First use of imlifidase desensitization in a highly sensitized heart and liver transplant candidate: A case report.

Heart transplant candidates that are highly sensitized against human leukocyte antigens (HLA) face ongoing challenge in finding immunologically compatible donors. Desensitization strategies aimed at reducing HLA antibody titers have variable success rates. Imlifidase, a novel immunoglobulin G-degrading enzyme derived from Streptococcus pyogenes has been successfully used to eliminate pre-formed antibodies in sensitized kidney transplant recipients.

Methods for the analysis of leukemic infiltration within cerebrospinal fluid in acute lymphoblastic leukemia-a systematic review.

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is associated with a poor prognosis, making its accurate detection vital for treatment planning. This systematic review critically examines the role of conventional cytomorphology (CC) and multiparameter flow cytometry (FC) in analyzing cerebrospinal fluid in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cases. While CC remains the gold standard, its sensitivity is limited, particularly in cases with low cell counts.
