A novel PEG-mediated approach to entrap hemoglobin (Hb) within ZIF-8 nanoparticles: Balancing crystalline structure, Hb content and functionality.

Hemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen carriers are investigated as a potential alternative or supplement to regular blood transfusions, particularly in critical and life-threatening scenarios. These include situations like severe trauma in remote areas, battlefield conditions, instances where blood transfusion is not feasible due to compatibility concerns, or when patients decline transfusions based on religious beliefs. This study introduces a novel method utilizing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to entrap Hb within ZIF-8 nanoparticles (i.

The Development of a Chatbot Technology to Disseminate Post-COVID-19 Information: Descriptive Implementation Study.

Background: Post-COVID-19, or long COVID, has now affected millions of individuals, resulting in fatigue, neurocognitive symptoms, and an impact on daily life. The uncertainty of knowledge around this condition, including its overall prevalence, pathophysiology, and management, along with the growing numbers of affected individuals, has created an essential need for information and disease management. This has become even more critical in a time of abundant online misinformation and potential misleading of patients and health care professionals.

[Pharmacological trials evaluating treatment options for neuropsychiatric symptoms in post-COVID. A narrative review].

Post-COVID prevalence's is estimated at 10 % in the general population. The neuropsychiatric symptoms, which are frequent (up to 30 %), can severely affect the quality of life of patients affected by this condition, notably by significantly reducing their working ability. To date, no pharmacologic treatment is available for post-COVID, apart from symptomatic treatments.

[Post-Covid: 2022 updates and next steps.].

Post-Covid is defined by persistent symptoms following a SARS-CoV-2 infection, after excluding other causes. The prevalence of post-Covid is estimated at around 30% in the general population after an infection. Some of the risk factors include female sex, the number of symptoms in the acute phase, and comorbidities.
