The high prevalence of fungal resistance to antifungal drugs necessitates finding new antifungal combinations to boost the antifungal bioactivity of these agents. Hence, the aim of the present investigation was to greenly synthesize zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) using an aqueous leaf extract of and investigate their antifungal activity and synergistic efficiency with common antifungal agents. The biofabricated ZnO-NPs were characterized to detect their physicochemical properties.

We aimed to investigate which base was suitable for preparing transdermal formulations incorporating tulobuterol (TUL) nanoparticles (30-180 nm) in this study. Three bases (water-soluble, absorptive, and aqueous ionic cream) were selected to prepare the transdermal formulations, and TUL nanoparticles were prepared with a bead-milling treatment. In the drug release study, the TUL release from the water-soluble ointment was higher than that from the other two ointments.

Background: Adherence to guidelines for antibiotic prophylaxis is often poor and is an important target for antimicrobial stewardship programs. Prescribing audits that suggested poor adherence to guidelines in a plastic surgery department led to a targeted education program to bring antibiotic prescriptions in line with hospital guidelines. We reviewed whether this intervention was associated with changed perioperative prescribing and altered surgical outcomes, including the rate of surgical site infections, specifically looking at clean-contaminated head and neck tumor resections with free flap reconstruction.
