Progress in silk and silk fiber-inspired polymeric nanomaterials for drug delivery.

The fields of drug and gene delivery have been revolutionized by the discovery and characterization of polymer-based materials. Polymeric nanomaterials have emerged as a strategy for targeted delivery because of features such as their impressive biocompatibility and improved availability. Use of naturally derived polymers in these nanomaterials is advantageous due to their biodegradability and bioresorption.

Burnout in Certified Anesthesiologist Assistants.

Certified anesthesiologist assistants (CAAs) are Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) within the anesthesia care team. This research evaluated their burnout. CAAs were surveyed nationally about their professional/work characteristics, perceived fairness of salary/benefits compared to certified registered nurse anesthetists/CAAs, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS), the Conditions for Work Effectiveness Questionnaire II, and questions regarding wellness resources at their place of employment.
