A Lipiodol Pickering Emulsion Stabilized by Iron-Doped Carbon Nanozymes for Liver Transarterial Chemoembolization.

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) utilizing a water-in-oil lipiodol emulsion is a preferable therapeutic strategy for advanced liver cancer in clinical practice. However, the low stability of the lipiodol emulsion and poor efficacy of chemotherapeutic drug seriously undermine the efficiency of TACE. Herein, a novel lobaplatin-loaded lipiodol emulsion (denoted as ICN-LPE) is developed by constructing a lipiodol Pickering emulsion (LPE) stabilized with iron-doped carbon nanozymes (ICN) to mitigate the issue of lipiodol-water separation.

Evaluating the efficacy of microalgal-bacterial granular sludge system in lake water remediation.

The microalgal-bacterial granular sludge (MBGS) process is attracting attention as a green wastewater treatment technology. However, research on the application of MBGS in lake water remediation is limited. Thus, this experiment investigated the feasibility and the efficacy of the MBGS process for the treatment of natural lake water in a continuous-flow tubular reactor.

Predicting Continuous Locomotion Modes via Multidimensional Feature Learning From sEMG.

Walking-assistive devices require adaptive control methods to ensure smooth transitions between various modes of locomotion. For this purpose, detecting human locomotion modes (e.g.

Leveraging machine learning: Covariate-adjusted Bayesian adaptive randomization and subgroup discovery in multi-arm survival trials.

Clinical trials evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatments for specific diseases. Ensuring these studies are well-powered is crucial for identifying superior treatments. With the rise of personalized medicine, treatment efficacy may vary based on biomarker profiles.

A Randomized Trial of Oral Tranexamic Acid With Fluocinolone-Based Triple Cream Versus Fluocinolone Based Triple Cream Alone for the Treatment of Melasma.

Oral tranexamic acid (TXA) is a relatively new treatment option for melasma. It is thought to reduce hyperpigmentation through inhibition of the plasminogen/plasmin pathway with resulting decreases in epidermal melanocyte tyrosinase activity, inflammatory mediators, dermal neovascularization, and mast cell numbers.
