Article Synopsis
- Diabetic foot wounds often lead to serious complications like infections and amputations, prompting a study on a new treatment called Cytoreg, which is a mixture of various acids.
- In a trial involving 10 patients, those receiving both oral Cytoreg and weekly topical applications showed better wound healing outcomes compared to those receiving only the oral treatment.
- The study found significant positive changes in certain blood parameters and wound closure rates, suggesting potential for further clinical research into Cytoreg's efficacy for treating diabetic foot ulcers.
The global COVID-19 pandemic saw marked research and clinical interest in evaluating pandemic-related distress, namely fear and anxiety regarding infection and death. The most widely used and earliest developed measure of COVID-19 distress is Ahorsu et al. (2022) seven-item Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S).

In addition, several studies have demonstrated the overexpression of DHX15 in the context of hepatocellular carcinoma. Therefore, we hypothesized that this helicase may play a significant role in liver regeneration, physiology, and pathology.

Here, we assessed the potential therapeutic effect of a NO donor targeted to the liver by poly(beta-amino ester) nanoparticles (pBAE NPs) in experimental cirrhosis. Retinol-functionalized NO donor pBAE NPs (Ret pBAE NPs) were synthetized with the aim of actively targeting the liver.
