Poly-ε-caprolactone Nanoparticles Loaded with 4-Nerolidylcatechol (4-NC) for Growth Inhibition of .

Dermatophyte fungal infections are difficult to treat because they need long-term treatments. 4-Nerolidylcatechol (4-NC) is a compound found in that has been reported to demonstrate significant antifungal activity, but is easily oxidizable. Due to this characteristic, the incorporation in nanostructured systems represents a strategy to guarantee the compound's stability compared to the isolated form and the possibility of improving antifungal activity.

An unusually large leiomyoma of the prostate.

Prostate leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal smooth muscle tumors devoid of glandular elements within the prostate or juxta-prostatic position. Leiomyomas develop in organs containing smooth muscle, including the kidney, bladder and seminal vesicle. Prostate leiomyomas are either a pure form or associated with benign prostate hyperplasia, and diagnosis is challenging, with definitive identification relying on pathology.

Improved cost, health, and satisfaction with a health home benefit plan for self-insured employers and small physician practices.

We compared the impacts on total costs, health, and satisfaction among 615 adults enrolled 2 years in an employer's health home benefit plan to their baseline year in a standard preferred provider organization plan. The new plan combined strong continuity care incentives with nurse coaching support. After 24 months, total medical costs were 23% lower than the baseline year, biometric measures improved for more than 85% of members, and patient satisfaction exceeded 85%.

Remote monitoring and supervision of urology residents utilizing integrated endourology suites-a prospective study of patients' opinions.

Purpose: To report on integrated endourology suites (IES), remote monitoring and supervision (RMS) of urology residents and to evaluate patients' opinions, acceptance, and satisfaction level with IES and RMS.

Patients And Methods: Patients undergoing flexible cystoscopy in the IES with RMS were surveyed using a questionnaire. All procedures were performed by junior urology residents (UR-1 level) using RMS.
