Traumatic hemorrhage and infection are major causes of mortality in wounds caused by battlefield injuries, hospital procedures, and traffic accidents. Developing a multifunctional nano-drug capable of simultaneously controlling bleeding, preventing infection, and promoting wound healing is critical. This study aimed to design and evaluate a nanoparticle-based solution to address these challenges effectively.

, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, is a parasite known for its diverse genotypic variants, or Discrete Typing Units (DTUs), which have been associated with varying degrees of tissue involvement. However, aspects such as parasite attachment remain unclear. It has been suggested that the TcI genotype is associated with cardiac infection, the most common involved site in chronic human infection, while TcII is associated with digestive tract involvement.

Coxsackievirus B (CVB) infections, ranging from mild to severe diseases, lack specific antiviral treatments, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic strategies. Drug therapy is an important tool for controlling enterovirus infections, but clinically effective drugs do not currently exist, mainly due to the development of drug resistance. Combination therapy with two or more drugs has the potential to successfully inhibit viral infection more effectively than either drug alone as well as delay the development of resistance.

Viral meningitis poses a significant clinical challenge due to its rapid onset and potential progression to life-threatening encephalitis. Early detection of treatable viral pathogens such as Herpes simplex virus (HSV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), and Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is essential for initiating appropriate therapies. However, multiplex PCRs for the rapid and simultaneous detection of these pathogens are scarce due to the complex PCR design and the elaborate validation process using cerebrospinal fluid samples.
