Evaluation of Drug-Polymer and Drug-Drug Interaction in Cellulosic Multi-Drug Delivery Matrices.

Multi-drug delivery systems have gained increasing interest from the pharmaceutical industry. Alongside this is the interest in amorphous solid dispersions as an approach to achieve effective oral delivery of compounds with solubility-limited bioavailability. Despite this, there is limited information regarding predicting the behavior of two or more drugs (in amorphous forms) in a polymeric carrier and whether molecular interactions between the compounds, between each compound, and if the polymer have any effect on the physical properties of the system.

Factors Impacting Early Adverse Outcomes in Simultaneous Heart-Kidney Transplantation.

Background: Over the last decade, the number of simultaneous heart-kidney transplants (SHKTs) has increased dramatically. There are few reports of renal allograft outcomes in these high acuity patients. The goal of the present study was to identify variables that were related to early adverse outcomes (EAOs), including delayed graft function (DGF), primary non-function (PNF), and renal allograft futility (RAF) after SHKTs.

Culturally safe physiotherapy care: how this looks and feels for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Background Understanding the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as healthcare recipients is essential for delivering culturally safe physiotherapy care; however, the literature inadequately explores these experiences. This study aimed to explore the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who have engaged with physiotherapists and understand their perspectives on how physiotherapists can provide culturally safe care in the community. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with adult (aged >18years) self-identified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples (n =12) who had received physiotherapy care within a community setting within the previous 3months.

Rapid genomic testing in critically ill pediatric patients: Genetic counseling lessons from a national program.

Genetic counselors (GCs) face unique challenges in the acute care setting. Acute care environments-such as neonatal and pediatric intensive care units-are characterized by urgency, complexity, and rapid decision making. These settings require GCs to navigate a delicate balance between addressing the immediate clinical needs of patients and providing comprehensive genetic information to families, while demanding adaptation of existing skills for practice.

Time-Resolved Probing of the Iodobenzene C-Band Using XUV-Induced Electron Transfer Dynamics.

Time-resolved extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy was used to investigate photodissociation within the iodobenzene C-band. The carbon-iodine bond of iodobenzene was photolyzed at 200 nm, and the ensuing dynamics were probed at 10.3 nm (120 eV) over a 4 ps range.
