Article Synopsis
  • * Modifications to chitosan, especially chemical ones, aim to enhance its solubility, but past reviews haven't detailed the specific characteristics gained from these modifications.
  • * This review addresses those gaps by focusing on improving chitosan's solubility, its derivatives in nanoparticle drug delivery, and recent findings on its toxicity and applications.

Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) benefits some patients with triple-negative breast cancer, but what distinguishes responders from non-responders is unclear. Because ICB targets cell-cell interactions, we investigated the impact of multicellular spatial organization on response, and explored how ICB remodels the tumour microenvironment. We show that cell phenotype, activation state and spatial location are intimately linked, influence ICB effect and differ in sensitive versus resistant tumours early on-treatment.

Unlabelled: Partial molar pregnancy with a coexistent live fetus is very rare. This type of mole mostly ends in the early termination of pregnancy due to an abnormally developed fetus.

Case Presentation: Here, we report a case of a 24-year-old Indonesian woman with an ultrasonographic appearance of partial hydatidiform mole with initial placenta covering the internal uterine ostium in the late first trimester which then became marginal placenta previa in the third trimester.

Introduction: Children with infantile hemiplegia with low or very low bimanual functional performance have great impediments to spontaneously use their affected upper limb, which affects their performance of day-to-day activities and their quality of life.

Objective: To determine whether the order of application and the dose of modified constraint-induced movement therapy within a combined (hybrid) protocol influences the results of bimanual functional performance of the affected upper limb and the quality of life of children with congenital hemiplegia (5 to 8 years old) with low/very low bimanual functional performance.

Design: Single-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Background: Although the incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) has decreased since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is still evolving, the number of TBI cases has still greatly increased in multiple countries. In the present systematic review and meta-analysis, we evaluated the epidemiological characteristics of patients with TBI before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search of original studies, short reports, and research letters from databases on studies that contained data about the severity, mortality, presence of neurological deficits, radiological diagnosis, cause of injury, and type of management of TBI during a specified period within the pandemic compared with before the pandemic.
