Drug-delivery systems in cardiovascular applications regularly include the use of drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons to ensure sufficient drug transfer and efficacy in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In addition to the delivery of antiproliferative drugs, the use of growth factors, genetic materials, hormones and signaling molecules has led to the development of different nanoencapsulation techniques for targeted drug delivery. The review will cover drug delivery and coating mechanisms in current drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons, novel innovations in drug-eluting stent technologies and drug encapsulation in nanocarriers for delivery in vascular diseases. Newer technologies and advances in nanoencapsulation techniques, such as the use of liposomes, nanogels and layer-by-layer coating to deliver therapeutics in the cardiovascular space, will be highlighted.

Treatment With Long-Acting Injectable Aripiprazole During Pregnancy in Bipolar Disorder: A Scoping Review.
Am J Ther
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, Transilvania University of Brasov, Brasov, Romania.
Background: The management of bipolar disorder during pregnancy presents a significant challenge, particularly regarding the safety and effectiveness of long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics like aripiprazole. Despite the growing use of LAI antipsychotics in psychiatric disorders, data on their use during pregnancy are limited, especially for bipolar disorder. This study aimed to shed light on this issue through a scoping review.

Anemia is a potentially life-threatening blood disorder caused by an insufficient erythroblast volume in the circulatory system. Self-renewal failure of erythroblast progenitors is one of the key pathological factors leading to erythroblast deficiency. However, there are currently no effective drugs that selectively target this process.

Background: Long-acting injectable (LAI) antiretroviral medications are as effective as daily oral antiretroviral therapy (ART) and offer discreet, less frequent dosing. LAIs may be ideal treatment options for people who experience challenges with adherence to daily oral ART, including mobile men living with HIV (MLHIV).
Methods: We conducted a qualitative substudy within two parent trials in 24 health facilities in Malawi that enrolled MLHIV ≥15 years not on ART.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of pore formation is crucial for elucidating fundamental biological processes and developing therapeutic strategies, such as the design of drug delivery systems and antimicrobial agents. Although experimental methods can provide valuable information, they often lack the temporal and spatial resolution necessary to fully capture the dynamic stages of pore formation. In this study, we present two novel collective variables (CVs) designed to characterize membrane pore behavior, particularly its energetics, through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
