In this work, a novel chitosan-based polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) was prepared using chitosan as the cationic polyelectrolyte, while a potassium salt of poly(maleic anhydride-alt-tetradecene) (PMA-14) served as the anionic counterpart. These PECs were used for the encapsulation of two nitroeugenol derivatives: 4-allyl-2-methoxy-6-nitrophenol () and 2-allyl-6-nitrophenol (). The results confirm complex formation and efficient encapsulation of active compounds.

Rev Esp Cir Ortop Traumatol
November 2024
Unlabelled: The Latarjet technique is a procedure used to treat anterior glenohumeral instability with glenoid bone loss. Various fixation systems for the coracoid have been described in the literature. This study aims to compare the results in quality of life and complications between patients treated with plate and screws (GP) and those with screws only (GSP) for coracoid fixation.

Methods: This was a 12-week, randomized controlled trial, involving the application of different telenutrition protocols with online nutritional counseling. Two protocols were used, the multicomponent (MT), composed of multiple strategies combined, synchronously and asynchronously, and the traditional (TD), with only one synchronous strategy, in addition to the control group (CT).
Article Synopsis
- Otoliths play a crucial role in marine biology, aiding in studies related to fish metabolism, age, growth, and stock identification for sustainable management.
- The research utilizes micro-computed tomography to analyze otolith density variations but notes a lack of methodologies for comparative studies, leading to the application of the Ball Mapper technique in this analysis.
- This study emphasizes reducing computational costs through probabilistic sampling, validating sample representativeness, and uncovering significant correlations between age and network properties, showcasing the effectiveness of the Ball Mapper in processing tomographic images.
In humans, tenascin-C (TN-C) expression has been detected in more aggressive neoplasms of the central nervous system, such as gliomas and meningiomas. No study has analyzed the immune expression of TN-C in canine meningioma. The current study aimed to investigate the immunohistochemical distribution of TN-C in different grades of canine meningiomas.
