Palliative care and end of life at home remains a challenge for the general practitioner. The success is related to many factors, including the situation of the patient, his social and family environment, the presence of the various health professionals and the physician's engagement. Beyond the medical-technical skills, he plays a central coordinating role in an interdisciplinary team regularly adjusted according to the patient's evolution. The positive emotional impact on bereaved relatives after the end of life at home is often underestimated by the physician.

Aims: This study aimed to develop Imatinib Mesylate (IMT)-loaded Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA)-D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS)- Polyethylene glycol (PEG) hybrid nanoparticles (CSLHNPs) with optimized physicochemical properties for targeted delivery to glioblastoma multiforme.
Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most destructive type of brain tumor with several complications. Currently, most treatments for drug delivery for this disease face challenges due to the poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) and lack of site-specific delivery.

Efficient sacrificial-agent-free photosynthesis of HO from air and water represents the greenest, lowest-cost, most real-time avenue for HO production but remains a challenging issue. Here, we show a general and effective approach through a structural design on covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with asymmetric dual-function hybrid linkages for boosting the HO photosynthesis of the COFs. Through such design we can equip a COF with not only a catalytic active center but also a special function for isolating the D-A motif, which consequently endows the COF (CI-COF) built on asymmetric dual-function hybrid linkages with a significantly enhanced efficiency in the generation, transmission, and separation of photogenerated carriers, relative to the COF (II-COF and CC-COF) built on symmetric single-function single linkages.
