Noninvasive Monitoring of Glycemia Level in Diabetic Patients by Wearable Advanced Biosensors.

We report on the possibility of noninvasive diabetes monitoring through continuous analysis of sweat. The prediction of the blood glucose level in diabetic patients is possible on the basis of their sweat glucose content due to the positive correlation discovered. The ratio between the blood glucose and sweat glucose concentrations for a certain diabetic subject is stable within weeks, excluding requirements for frequent blood probing.

Analytical Methods for Assessing Thiol Antioxidants in Biological Fluids: A Review.

Redox metabolism is an integral part of the glutathione system, encompassing reduced and oxidized glutathione, hydrogen peroxide, and associated enzymes. This core process orchestrates a network of thiol antioxidants like thioredoxins and peroxiredoxins, alongside critical thiol-containing proteins such as mercaptoalbumin. Modifications to thiol-containing proteins, including oxidation and glutathionylation, regulate cellular signaling influencing gene activities in inflammation and carcinogenesis.

Safety of fingolimod in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis: A descriptive analysis of data from the EudraVigilance database.

The most prevalent disease course of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Fingolimod (Gilenya®) was the first oral disease-modifying therapy to RRMS. Patients affected by MS require long-term treatment, making the ongoing evaluation of the safety profile of fingolimod imperative.

Light-Responsive Pt(IV) Prodrugs with Controlled Photoactivation and Low Dark Toxicity.

Light-induced release of cisplatin from Pt(IV) prodrugs represents a promising approach for precise control over the antiproliferative activity of Pt-based chemotherapeutic drugs. This method has the potential to overcome crucial drawbacks of conventional cisplatin therapy, such as high general toxicity toward healthy organs and tissues. Herein, we report two Pt(IV) prodrugs with BODIPY-based photoactive ligands and , which were designed using carbamate and triazole linkers, respectively.

Maximizing Roughness Factors in Oxide-Derived Copper Coatings through Electrodeposition Parameters for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Performance.

The pursuit of novel techniques for obtaining dispersed copper-based catalysts is crucial in addressing environmental issues like decarbonization. One method for producing nanostructured metals involves the reduction of their oxides, a technique that has found widespread use in CO electroreduction. Currently, the intrinsic activities of oxide-derived copper electrocatalysts produced via different routes cannot be compared effectively due to the lack of information on electrochemically active surface area values, despite the availability of electrochemical methods that enable estimation of surface roughness for highly dispersed copper coatings.
