The influence of baseline platelet on mortality risk in stroke and cancer patients: a cross-sectional analysis of the NHANES database.

Background: Platelet count and function may be closely related to survival and prognosis of stroke and cancer. However, little is known on the impact of platelet count on the patients with a history of stroke and cancer. This study aimed to examine the association between baseline platelet level and all-cause mortality in this population using a cross-sectional analysis.

The relationships among positive coping style, psychological resilience, and fear of falling in older adults.

Objectives: Fear of falling is a psychological issue that adversely impacts the health of elderly individuals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation among positive coping styles, psychological resilience, and fear of falling in older adults. The mediating role of psychological resilience was also investigated.

A mechanically robust chitosan-based macroporous foam for sustainable Se(IV) elimination from wastewater.

The contamination of water resources by selenium (Se), particularly in the highly toxic Se(IV) oxidation state, poses a significant environmental and public health concern due to its detrimental impacts on humans and aquatic ecosystems. In this work, we report a novel composite foam (CFC) by incorporating chitosan (CS), cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) nanoparticles through a one-pot fabrication process. The CFC foam features a three-dimensional porous structure, conferring both exceptional mechanical strength and superior adsorption performance for Se(IV), with a maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity of 90 mg/g achieved within 3 h.

Hyaluronic acid-conjugated lipid nanocarriers in advancing cancer therapy: A review.

Lipid nanoparticles are getting a lot of attention in cancer treatment because they're good at delivering drugs and reducing side effects. These things are like a flexible platform for getting anticancer meds where they need to go, especially when you add HA, a polymer that's known to target tumors. Hyaluronic acid is good because it homes in on tumor cells by latching onto CD44 receptors, which are often overproduced in cancer.

Targeted therapy for glioblastoma utilizing hyaluronic acid-engineered liposomes for adriamycin delivery.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a malignant tumor with highly heterogeneous and invasive characteristics leading to a poor prognosis. The CD44 molecule, which is highly expressed in GBM, has emerged as a highly sought-after biological marker. Therapeutic strategies targeting the cell membrane protein CD44 have emerged, demonstrating novel therapeutic potential.
