Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare drug eruption characterized by the rapid occurrence of many sterile, non-follicular pustules, neutrophilic leukocytosis, high fever and spontaneous resolution usually within two weeks. The distribution of rash predilection in the trunk and intertriginous regions. In treatment, the causative drug must be initially discontinued.

This study presents a hybrid layered composite nanofiber mesh (LHN) designed for localized treatment in GB tumor bed. The LHN, consisting of polyvinyl alcohol and core-shell polylactic acid layers, was loaded with TMZ and rutin.

We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis from a US payer perspective. A societal perspective scenario was also considered, including productivity gains.

Supramolecular crystals arise from noncovalent interactions between macromonomers and allow for the engineering of dynamic functional materials. For two-dimensional (2D) crystals, the substrate surface can induce the formation of new polymorphs not available in solution, adding a layer of complexity to the supramolecular self-assembly process. Despite extensive studies on the 2D self-assembly of supramolecular crystals, unknowns remain regarding substrate-monomer interactions and the effects on network self-assembly and defect repair.
