In the nutrition support team (NST), medical technologists take a very important role in carrying out nutrition screening, nutrition assessment and nutrition monitoring. Medical technologists can look at the laboratory data of patients earlier than other NST staff. Using this advantage, the medical technologists can contribute to the NST. In addition, medical technologists join ward rounds together with other NST staff on a weekly basis. After discussion with all NST staff, medical technologists make a report on the nutrition assessment of patients and then sign their names to the report. The NST is a representative of medical treatment teams. All NST members should have equal levels of understanding of nutrition therapy. Therefore, medical technologists should not only look at the laboratory data of the patients, but also manage the patients through nutrition assessment and nutrition monitoring.

Innovative Lipid Nanoparticles Co-Delivering Hydroxychloroquine and siRNA for Enhanced Rheumatoid Arthritis Therapy.

Pharmaceutics

January 2025

Department of Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang 050017, China.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a debilitating autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic inflammation and joint damage. Despite advancements in treatment, complete remission remains elusive. In this study, we introduce a novel lipid nanoparticle formulation co-delivering hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and siRNA targeting TNF-α (si) using microfluidic technology, marking the first use of such a combination for RA therapy.

Background: Respiratory viral infections are a major public health challenge and the most diagnosed medical condition, particularly for individuals living in close proximity, like military personnel. We compared the sensitivity and specificity of the Biomeme Franklin and Truelab RT-PCR thermocyclers to determine which platform is more sensitive and specific at detecting SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A and B viruses.

Methodology: RNA extracted from nasopharyngeal swabs of infected and uninfected individuals was tested on the Biomeme Franklin at Lackland and the Truelab at Wright Patterson Air Force bases.
