Nanotechnology is an emerging field that involves the development of nanoscale particles, their fabrication methods, and potential applications. From nanosized inorganic particles to biopolymers, the variety of nanoparticles is unstoppably growing, offering huge opportunities for drug delivery. Various nanoformulations, such as nanoparticles, nanocomposites, and nanoemulsions, have been developed to enhance drug stability, solubility, and tissue penetration.

Methods: Adults 60 and over with asthma were recruited and interviewed about their experiences of asthma, depression, and other psychosocial factors over three time points (Baseline, 6-month, and 12-month visits). Structural equation models examined the mediating roles of coping styles in the relationship between depressive symptoms (assessed by BDI-II) and asthma outcomes (i.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on the quality of life (QoL) in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), given the limited research available on this topic.
- A total of 33 patients participated, and QoL was assessed using BAROS and MA-QoLQII scores before and after the surgery, with results showing significant improvements in QoL at one month and one year post-operation.
- Key findings indicate that increased excess body mass index loss and remission of DM2 positively impacted QoL, while factors like insulin resistance and joint diseases negatively affected physical health scores.
Article Synopsis
- The rising incidence of colorectal cancer has emphasized the need for enhanced surgical training, particularly in Poland, where changes to the training program have increased the number of required intestinal procedures for residents.
- A multicenter study (LILEO study) involving 199 patients aimed to evaluate ileostomy reversal safety, comparing outcomes between surgeries performed by specialist surgeons and those done by surgical residents.
- Results showed that while the resident group had a shorter hospital stay and a lower overall complication rate, these differences weren't statistically significant; however, minor complications were more prevalent in the specialist group, indicating that resident-performed ileostomy reversals are safe and effective.
Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a common weight-loss surgery that can have intraoperative complications, which this study investigates.
- The research analyzed patients who underwent LSG from 2017 to 2020, comparing those who faced complications (Group 1) to those who didn't (Group 2), focusing on demographic and health factors.
- Key findings revealed that higher BMI, diabetes, and pulmonary disease were prevalent among those with complications, but ultimately, only the surgeon's experience significantly impacted the likelihood of encountering intraoperative difficulties.
