Article Synopsis
- The use of nanostructured materials for drug delivery allows for targeted treatment of diseases with fewer side effects and lower doses than traditional methods.
- Electroactive organic polymer nanoparticles, specifically those made from violanthrone-79, can effectively incorporate and release dexamethasone in a controlled manner by adjusting the size of the particles.
- This research shows that by manipulating both the chemical formation of nanoparticles and the electrical stimulus during drug release, a precise and biocompatible system for delivering medications directly to the nervous system can be developed.
Organic electronic materials have been considered for a wide-range of technological applications. More recently these organic (semi)conductors (encompassing both conducting and semi-conducting organic electronic materials) have received increasing attention as materials for bioelectronic applications. Biological tissues typically comprise soft, elastic, carbon-based macromolecules and polymers, and communication in these biological systems is usually mediated via mixed electronic and ionic conduction.

Purpose: Experience has shown that in malpractice cases patients often claim certain information was not provided during the informed consent process. The purposes of this study were to determine how much of an informed consent video patients initially remember and how much is recalled when there is a hiatus from viewing the video to the surgery.
Patients And Methods: In this prospective cohort study, patients presenting for impacted third molar removal in an academic setting (n = 50) or a private office (n = 50) viewed an informed consent video and then met with the treating doctor for further discussion and signing of an informed consent form.
