Academic institutions are becoming more focused on translating new technologies for clinical applications. A transition from "bench to bedside" is often described to take basic research concepts and methods to develop a therapeutic or diagnostic solution with proven evidence of efficacy at the clinical level while also fulfilling regulatory requirements. The regulatory environment is evolving in Europe with transition and grace periods for the full enforcement of the Medical Device Regulation 2017/745 (MDR), replacing the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (MDD). These new guidelines increase demands for scientific, technical, and clinical data with reduced capacity in regulatory bodies creating uncertainty in future product certification. Academic translational activities will be uniquely affected by this new legislation. The barriers and threats to successful translation in academia can be overcome by strong clinical partnerships, close-industrial collaborations, and entrepreneurial programs, enabling continued product development to overcome regulatory hurdles, reassuring their foothold of medical device development.Functionalized polypeptides have attracted tremendous interest in recent years and found many stimulating applications owing to their tunable physicochemical characteristics including hydrophilicity and stimuli-responsive behavior. The development of new strategies to produce these polymers without metallic contaminants is crucial for their applications in high-value and sensitive domains, such as biomedical, microelectronic, food-packaging, and personal beauty care fields. Herein, a highly efficient strategy to access well-defined site-specific functionalized polypeptides is developed by combining Michael reaction with hydrogen-bonding organocatalytic ROP of NCA. A library of chain-end and chain-middle functionalized polypeptides (14 examples) with predesigned molecular weights and low polydispersities are readily prepared with this approach. Specifically, the whole synthetic process is metal-free, fulfilling high activity and selectivity at room temperature.
The literature regarding flash glucose monitoring (FGM)-associated cutaneous adverse events (AE) is limited.
This study among youth participating in a 6 month randomized controlled trial aimed to compare cutaneous AE between FGM and self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) use and evaluate premature FGM sensor loss.
Patients aged 13 to 20 years with type 1 diabetes were randomized to intervention (FGM and usual care) or control (SMBG and usual care). Participants self-reported cutaneous AEs electronically every 14 days. Reports were analyzed to determine frequency, type, and severity of cutaneous AEs, and evaluate premature sensor loss.
Sixty-four participants were recruited; 33 randomized to FGM and 31 to control. In total, 80 cutaneous AEs were reported (40 in each group); however, the proportion of participants experiencing cutaneous AEs was greater in the FGM group compared to control (58% and 23% respectively, P = .004). FGM participants most frequently reported erythema (50% of AEs), while controls most commonly reported skin hardening (60% of AEs). For FGM users, 80.0% of cutaneous AEs were mild, 17.5% moderate, and 2.5% severe. Among controls, 82.5% of cutaneous AEs were mild and 17.5% moderate. One participant ceased using FGM due to recurring cutaneous AEs. Additionally, over 6 months, 82% of FGM participants experienced at least one premature sensor loss, largely unrelated to a cutaneous AE.
Cutaneous FGM-associated AEs are common, and mostly rated as mild. However, the majority of users continued FGM despite cutaneous AEs. Awareness of cutaneous complications and mitigation measures may reduce cutaneous AEs and improve the overall experience of FGM.

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI), one of the fastest growing biomedical imaging modalities, is a noninvasive and nonionizing method that owns rich optical contrast, deep acoustic penetration depth, multiscale and multiparametric imaging capability. Hence, it is preferred to miniaturize the volume of PAI and develop an emerged endoscopic imaging modality referred to as photoacoustic endoscopy (PAE). It has been developed for more than one decade since the first report of PAE. AZD6094 order Unfortunately, until now, there is no mature photoacoustic endoscopic technique recognized in clinic due to various technical limitations. To address this concern, recent development of new scanning mechanisms, adoption of novel optical/acoustic devices, utilization of superior computation methods and exploration of multimodality strategies have significantly promoted the progress of PAE toward clinic. In this review, we comprehensively reviewed recent progresses in single- and multimodality PAE with new physics, mechanisms and strategies to achieve practical devices for potential applicable scenarios including esophageal, gastrointestinal, urogenital and intravascular imaging. We ended this review with challenges and prospects for future development of PAE.The bone defects healing are always associated with post implantation infections; hence biomaterials rules significant role for orchestration of defective bone. In this study, we synthesized biocomposite scaffold by combining polycaprolactone (PCL), wollastonite (Ws) and metal ions (Cu) by electrospinning technique. The manufactured scaffolds (PCL/Ws andPCL/Cu-Ws) were subjected to physio-chemical characterization by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) and XRD. The surface topography of the scaffolds was found to be micro-fibrous in nature and each fiber was cylindrical in structure. The exogenous biomineralization and protein adsorption capacity of these scaffolds were studied. Enhanced amount of protein was adsorbed on PCL/Cu-Ws than PCL/Ws scaffold after incubating for 48 hr in foetal bovine serum (FBS) also the biomineralization shown to be promoted the apatite formation in vitro. The synthesized PCL/Cu-Ws scaffold was biocompatible to mouse mesenchymal stem cells and enhanced the mRNA expressionof osteoblastic specific marker genes including alkaline phosphatase and type I collagen and major transcription factor Runx2 in the presence of osteogenic medium indicates the osteoconductive nature of the scaffolds.
