Green Fabrication of Silver Nanoparticles, Statistical Process Optimization, Characterization, and Molecular Docking Analysis of Their Antimicrobial Activities onto Cotton Fabrics.

Nanotechnological methods for creating multifunctional fabrics are attracting global interest. The incorporation of nanoparticles in the field of textiles enables the creation of multifunctional textiles exhibiting UV irradiation protection, antimicrobial properties, self-cleaning properties and photocatalytic. Nanomaterials-loaded textiles have many innovative applications in pharmaceuticals, sports, military the textile industry etc.

The effect of an educational program on the knowledge and practices of diabetic patients regarding sharps waste disposal at home.

The disposal of sharp waste generated at home by diabetic patients poses a major public health problem. This study evaluated an educational program designed to improve patients' knowledge and practices around sharps disposal. A non-equivalent quasi-experimental study was performed at a main diabetic center in Egypt on 100 participants divided into intervention and non-intervention groups.

Alteration of the Tumor Microenvironment With Intratumoral Dendritic Cells Before Chemotherapy in ERBB2 Breast Cancer: A Nonrandomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Current chemotherapy regimens for patients with ERBB2 (formerly HER2)-positive breast cancer are associated with considerable morbidity. These patients may benefit from more effective and less toxic therapies.

Objective: To evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of intratumoral (IT) delivery of conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) in combination with ERBB2-targeted therapies.

Fibro-Adipogenic Progenitor Isolation, Expansion, and Differentiation from the Spiny Mouse Model.

Due to its exceptional repair program, the spiny mouse is an emerging research model for regenerative medicine. Fibro-adipogenic progenitors are tissue-resident cells that are able to differentiate into adipocytes, fibroblasts, and chondrocytes. Fibro-adipogenic progenitors are fundamental for orchestrating tissue regeneration as they are responsible for extracellular matrix remodeling after injury.

Spine Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Geriatric Patients: Implications of Age and Dose on Iatrogenic Vertebral Compression Fracture Risk.

Purpose: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is an effective treatment for spinal metastases; however, outcomes specific to a geriatric population have not been described. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of spine SBRT, in particular the rate of iatrogenic vertebral compression fracture (VCF), in patients aged 70 and older.

Patients And Methods: From a prospectively maintained single-institutional database of 976 patients and 2407 spinal segments treated with SBRT for vertebral metastases between 2008 and 2021, all patients aged 70 or above were retrospectively reviewed.
