Differential Sex-Based Enrolment into US-Registered Glaucoma Clinical Trials: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Purpose: We conducted a cross-sectional study of sex, racial, and ethnic patient enrolment to glaucoma-related randomized controlled trials (RCTs) registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (to January 2023).

Methods: Trials were included if they were at least double-masked, completed, and had published results through the registry or a scholarly journal.

Feeding practices for infants with gastroschisis: A survey of neonatal intensive care units in Canada.

BackgroundFeeding practices for infants with gastroschisis are often based on institutional protocols, clinician judgement, and usual practice. The purpose of this study was to describe the range of feeding practices used in neonatal intensive care units across Canada.MethodsWe developed an 18-item survey with open-ended questions focused on feeding and nutrition among infants with gastroschisis.

A Review of Metal Nanoparticles Embedded in Hydrogel Scaffolds for Wound Healing In Vivo.

An evolving field, nanotechnology has made its mark in the fields of nanoscience, nanoparticles, nanomaterials, and nanomedicine. Specifically, metal nanoparticles have garnered attention for their diverse use and applicability to dressings for wound healing due to their antimicrobial properties. Given their convenient integration into wound dressings, there has been increasing focus dedicated to investigating the physical, mechanical, and biological characteristics of these nanoparticles as well as their incorporation into biocomposite materials, such as hydrogel scaffolds for use in lieu of antibiotics as well as to accelerate and ameliorate healing.
