Ropivacaine loaded microspheres offer an attractive alternative for prolonging the duration of local anesthetics for the pain management. However, traditional microcapsulation methods could not provide microspheres with desired drug loading efficiency and a narrow size distribution, leading to poor patient compliance as well as preparation repeatab...

Introduction: Recurrence of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) in renal allografts is common, leading to dialysis and graft failure. Pretransplant versus posttransplant initiation of eculizumab treatment in patients with aHUS has not been rigorously investigated. We hypothesized eculizumab pretransplant would reduce dialysis incidence posttr...
Folic acid (FA) targets cancer by exploiting its overexpression of folic acid receptors (FR). A novel folate conjugated lipid coated mesoporous silica nanoparticle has been synthesized in this study to enhance cellular uptake and cytotoxicity and reduce multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) have a high loading ...
Background: In situ gel formulations have been widely reported as a carrier for sustained release delivery systems due to certain advantages such as targeted drug delivery, minimal invasiveness and potent therapeutic activity. Objective: Herein, in situ gel system for sustained release of doxorubicin and ibuprofen for anti-cancer and anti-inflammat...
Objective: The zoonotic helminth Taenia solium is endemic in Zambia, causing human (taeniasis and (neuro)cysticercosis) and pig (porcine cysticercosis) diseases with high health, social and economic burdens. We aimed to evaluate the impact of a health educational program intended to lead to powerful and cumulative improvements in knowledge, attitud...
Background: eHealth interventions show stronger effects when informed by solid behavioral change theories; for example, self-regulation models supporting people in translating vague intentions to specific actions have shown to be effective in altering health behaviors. Although these theories inform developers about which behavioral change techniqu...
This is a pivotal, multicenter, open-label study of moxetumomab pasudotox, a recombinant CD22-targeting immunotoxin, in hairy cell leukemia (HCL), a rare B cell malignancy with high CD22 expression. The study enrolled patients with relapsed/ refractory HCL who had >= 2 prior systemic therapies, including >= 1 purine nucleoside analog. Patients rece...
