Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are an essential component of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines and genome editing therapeutics. Ionizable amino lipids, which play the most crucial role in enabling mRNA to overcome delivery barriers, have, to date, been restricted to two-dimensional (2D) architectures. Inspired by improved physicochemical properties resulting from the incorporation of three-dimensionality (3D) into small-molecule drugs, we report the creation of 3D ionizable lipid designs through the introduction of bicyclo[1.

Aims: The concept of recovery is featured in the strategic plans of the World Health Organization as well as in other national mental health plans; however, there have been differing interpretations of what it means. This article aims to achieve a consensus on the key aspects of recovery in mental health from the perspective of movements of users and survivors of psychiatry at an international level. Four specific objectives were proposed in this study: (1) to identify what recovery in mental health means, (2) to identify the indicators that a person is progressing in their recovery, (3) to determine the factors that facilitate the recovery process, and (4) to determine the factors that hinder the recovery process.

Understanding of how the treatment system implements coordination and integration, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, remains limited. In this study, we explored the implementation of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and the evolution of service delivery toward a more comprehensive approach.

Currently, one of the primary reasons to implant a device is for patient support until they can lose weight to qualify for transplant. This paper reviews the outcomes of various weight loss strategies for patients with LVADs including weight reduction surgery and cardiac rehab.
