Article Abstract

DRESS (Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms) syndrome is a rare, life-threatening, hypersensitivity reaction. The prolonged course and non-specific symptoms of the condition make diagnosis challenging. We present a case of DRESS syndrome that was misdiagnosed as urticaria. Investigations revealed deranged liver and kidney functions and abnormal blood count. The presented case emphasizes the need to have a high suspicion for DRESS syndrome in patients who present with jaundice, generalized rash, acute renal failure, and acute liver failure.

An Antibacterial and Electroactive Chitosan-Based Dressing with Dual Stimulus-Responsive Drug Delivery for Wound Healing.

Macromol Rapid Commun

Persistent bacterial infections remain a major challenge in wound management. Although drug-loaded wound dressings have gained increasing attention, their therapeutic efficacy is often hindered by uncontrolled drug release and a lack of electrical signal responsiveness. Herein, an antibacterial dressing (CCS-PC) with electroactivity and stimulus-responsive drug release properties was fabricated via electro-assembly, wherein chitosan and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIP) were co-deposited onto polypyrrole (PPy)-coated gauze.

Conversion surgery is increasingly used for initially unresectable esophageal cancer patients responding to induction therapy. The integration of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) into standard chemotherapy regimens is expected to increase the number of patients undergoing this approach. However, ICIs can cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which are often difficult to diagnose in the postoperative setting.

The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria due to excessive antibiotic use has drawn increasing attention to inorganic nanoparticles for their broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. Here, a "green" strategy for the simultaneous in situ synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) during the photocrosslinking process of casein hydrogels is described. The in situ photoactivated biomineralization of AgNPs provides noticeable stability and antibacterial activity, with high photothermal effect during a sequential near-infrared laser activation.

Diabetic foot ulcers represent a significant complication of diabetes mellitus, presenting substantial challenges due to their intricate pathogenesis, which encompasses neuropathy, vasculopathy, chronic inflammation, and biofilm-associated infections. Despite considerable advancements in Western medical interventions, including surgical debridement, skin grafting, negative pressure wound therapy, and innovative dressings, these ulcers remain a leading cause of amputation and contribute to a substantial socioeconomic burden. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has emerged as a promising adjunctive therapy, offering multi-targeted mechanisms that address oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, angiogenesis, and microbial resistance associated with diabetic foot ulcers.

Introduction: Burn wounds are painful injuries that demand immediate and effective management. Conventional wound care solutions often have limitations, such as discomfort during application or removal and potential damage to healing tissue. Therefore, developing novel wound dressings that support biological processes and promote wound healing is highly beneficial.
