Collaborative care in real-world settings: barriers and opportunities for sustainability
(Dovepress, 5 January )
Self-propulsion of Leidenfrost Drops between Non-Parallel Structures
(Springer Nature, 20 Septemb)
In this work, we explored self-propulsion of a Leidenfrost drop between non-parallel structures. A theoretical model was first developed to determine conditions for liquid drops to start moving away from the corner of two ...
Relationship between engagement and level of functional status in older adults
(Sage, 2017)
Functional status is an important component of quality of life for older adults and for their caregivers. Factors associated with level of functional status include age, comorbidity, cognitive status, depression, social ...
Measurement, Education and Tracking in Integrated Care (METRIC): use of a culturally adapted education tool versus standard education to increase engagement in depression treatment among Hispanic patients: study protocol for a randomized control trial
(BioMed Central Ltd. (BMC), 2017-08-03)
Significant mental health disparities exist for Hispanic populations, especially with regard to depression treatment. Stigma and poor communication between patients and their providers result in low use of antidepressant ...
Enhanced thermophysical properties via PAO superstructure
(Springer Open, 2017-01-11)
For the last few years, molten salt nanomaterials have attracted many scientists for their enhanced specific heat by
doping a minute concentration of nanoparticles (up to 1% by weight). Likewise, enhancing the specific ...
Investigation of Copper Cysteamine Nanoparticles as a New Type of Radiosensitiers for Colorectal Carcinoma Treatment
(Scientific Reports, 2017-08-24)
Copper Cysteamine (Cu-Cy) is a new photosensitizer and a novel radiosensitizer that can be activated
by light, X-ray and microwave to produce singlet oxygen for cancer treatment. However, the killing
mechanism of Cu-Cy ...
Dual-Drug Containing Core-Shell Nanoparticles for Lung Cancer Therapy
(Nature, 16 October)
Late-stage diagnosis of lung cancer occurs ~95% of the time due to late manifestation of its symptoms, necessitating rigorous treatment following diagnosis. Existing treatment methods are limited by lack of specificity, ...
The Mechanisms and Biomedical Applications of an NIR BODIPY-Based Switchable Fluorescent Probe
(MDPI, 11 Februar)
Highly environment-sensitive fluorophores have been desired for many biomedical applications. Because of the noninvasive operation, high sensitivity, and high specificity to the microenvironment change, they can be used ...
Lung protection by inhalation of exogenous solubilized extracellular matrix
(PLoS ONE, 2017-02-02)
Decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) contains complex tissue-specific components that
work in concert to promote tissue repair and constructive remodeling and has been used
experimentally and clinically to accelerate ...
A Dual-Modality System for Both Multi-Color Ultrasound-Switchable Fluorescence and Ultrasound Imaging
(MDPI, 4 February)
Simultaneous imaging of multiple targets (SIMT) in opaque biological tissues is an important goal for molecular imaging in the future. Multi-color fluorescence imaging in deep tissues is a promising technology to reach ...
