Smart Polylactic Acid Films with Ceftriaxone Loaded Microchamber Arrays for Personalized Antibiotic Therapy

Ekaterina A. Mordovina et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the fabrication of smart films with microchamber arrays made of polylactic acid (PLA) that can effectively release antibiotics and prolong release duration. The concentration and thickness of the films affect the release amount and time of the antibiotic. Additionally, the therapeutic ultrasound can trigger accelerated antibiotic release, which inhibits bacterial growth.

The roles of methylprednisolone treatment in patients with COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Shukun Hong et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of methylprednisolone in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. The meta-analysis showed that methylprednisolone treatment is associated with reduced short-term mortality and better clinical outcomes, without increasing the risk of secondary infections, but could slightly prolong the duration of viral shedding.

Assessment of the Balloon Dilation Efficiency in Bladder Neck Contracture after Transurethral Interventions on the Prostate

Shukhrat Anvarovich Abbosov et al.

Summary: This study assessed the results of balloon dilation in patients with bladder neck contracture (BNC) after endoscopic surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The findings showed that balloon dilation can reduce the recurrence of BNC and the need for repeated transurethral interventions.

Bladder neck contracture as a complication of prostate surgery: Alternative treatment methods and prospects (literature review)

Shukhrat Anvarovich Abbosov et al.

Summary: Bladder neck contracture is a common complication of surgical treatment for prostate diseases. This review evaluates various surgical methods for treating bladder neck contracture, including standard treatments such as transurethral resection as well as alternative methods like balloon dilation and instillation of drugs. Balloon dilation and intravesical instillation of drugs show promising results for recurrent bladder neck contracture.

CaCO3-based carriers with prolonged release properties for antifungal drug delivery to hair follicles

Mariia S. Saveleva et al.

Summary: Superficial fungal infections are a serious concern due to increasing antimicrobial resistance. This study presents a novel particulate system for delivering the water-insoluble antifungal drug griseofulvin (Gf) to the hair follicles. The system demonstrates good biocompatibility and cellular uptake, potentially enhancing the efficacy of topical therapy.
