Introduction: One of the most prevalent healthcare-associated infections in the pediatric intensive care unit is ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). VAP not only results in prolonged hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stays but also imposes higher costs on patients and the healthcare system. Therefore, it is essential to implement preventive measures.

Background: Luteolin, a natural flavonoid, exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and has been investigated for potential health benefits. Its focus on migraine management arises from its ability to mitigate neuroinflammation, a key factor in migraine attacks.
Methods: pkCSM and Swiss ADME were employed to assess luteolin's pharmacokinetic properties, revealing challenges such as low water solubility and limited skin permeability.
Piezoelectric Nanoarrays with Mechanical-Electrical Coupling Microenvironment for Innervated Bone Regeneration.

The involvement of neurons in the peripheral nervous system is crucial for bone regeneration. Mimicking extracellular matrix cues provides a more direct and effective strategy to regulate neuronal activity and enhance bone regeneration. However, the simultaneous coupling of the intrinsic mechanical-electrical microenvironment of implants to regulate innervated bone regeneration has been largely neglected.

Procalcitonin (PCT) is a reliable biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring bacterial infections and sepsis. PCT exhibits good stability both in vivo and in vitro, and its levels drastically increase in response to bacterial infection or inflammatory reactions in the human body, making it a dependable indicator for sepsis diagnosis and monitoring with significant implications for clinical diagnosis and treatment guidance. Currently, immunosensors are widely utilized in PCT detection due to their high sensitivity and low detection limits.

Rapid and multiplexed detection of biomarkers plays an indispensable role in disease diagnosis. Although paper-based lateral flow immunoassays have been widely used in this field, the speediness and throughput are still challenging issues. Herein, an electrochemical vertical flow immunoassay device (eVFID) is fabricated for rapid, ultrasensitive, and multiplexed detection of inflammatory biomarkers.
