Published: May 2006

Clinical research with critically ill patients presents numerous ethical issues affecting patients' well-being, research integrity, and nursing practice. Key findings from a survey of critical care nurses' perceptions about research ethical issues in these settings indicated that nurses encounter ethical issues about which they have limited knowledge and they may not seek guidance from the most appropriate resources. The results suggest that nurses, as well as researchers, need not only training about the responsible conduct of research but also visible and highly functional organizational structures to support and oversee clinical research in research-oriented medical centers.

Background: Complex perianal fistulas, challenging to treat and prone to recurrence, often require surgical intervention that may cause fecal incontinence and lower quality of life due to large surgical wounds and potential sphincter damage. Human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs) and their exosomes (hUCMSCs-Exo) may promote wound healing.

Methods: This study assessed the efficacy, mechanisms, and safety of these exosomes in treating complex perianal fistulas in SD rats.

Background: Leprosy (Hansen's disease) is an infectious disease most common in resource-limited countries caused by the acid-fast bacilli Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis that frequently affects the skin and peripheral nerves. Prompt diagnosis and treatment with multidrug therapy is crucial to reduce disease transmission and sequelae, which include nerve function impairment, ocular injury, and stigmatizing physical deformities. Traditional treatment of multibacillary leprosy consists of 12-24 months of multidrug therapy with dapsone, rifampin, and clofazimine.
