Unlabelled: Lysolipid-based thermosensitive liposomes (LTSL) embedded in a chitosan-based thermoresponsive hydrogel matrix (denoted Lipogel) represents a novel approach for the spatiotemporal release of therapeutic agents. The entrapment of drug-loaded liposomes in an injectable hydrogel permits local liposome retention, thus providing a prolonged release in target tissues. Moreover, release can be controlled through the use of a minimally invasive external hyperthermic stimulus.

- Scientists study mice with poor blood flow in their back legs to explore ways to help grow new blood vessels for people with serious leg problems.
- They are especially interested in using special cells called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that can help with this process.
- It's important to choose the right kind of mouse and stem cells because some mice heal faster and certain stem cells make more helpful growth factors.
Background: Management of patients with severe concomitant carotid and coronary disease remains controversial. We report our experience of combined carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) over a fifteen year period using strict patient selection criteria.
Methods: From 1st January 1995 to December 31st 2009 165 patients underwent combined CABG/CEA procedures at the Mater Hospital.
