Biocompatible, Multiresponsive Nanogel Composites for Codelivery of Antiangiogenic and Chemotherapeutic Agents

Chemotherapeutic Agents for External Parasites

Because some antibiotics have proved active in certain parasitic infections, there appears to be good prospect that this rapidly growing and meagerly tested class of chemotherapeutic agents (there are already some 4,000 known antibiotics!) will some day provide efficient treatments for some of the parasitic diseases of livestock and poultry. Antibiotics are especially useful for combating bacte...

Stimuli-responsive nanogel composites and their application in nanomedicine.

Nanogels are nanosized crosslinked polymer networks capable of absorbing large quantities of water. Specifically, smart nanogels are interesting because of their ability to respond to biomedically relevant changes like pH, temperature, etc. In the last few decades, hybrid nanogels or composites have been developed to overcome the ever increasing demand for new materials in this field. In this c...

Medication Errors in Administration of Chemotherapeutic Agents: an Observational Study

Chemotherapy medication errors may lead to potentially harmful consequences while most of them could be preventable. This study aims to determine the incidence and type of drug handling and administration errors among the nurses and to identify possible contributing factors. Setting of the study was a teaching hospital affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medic...

Evaluation of Chemotherapeutic Agents

This fourth, thoroughly revised, edition of Calmette's well-known manual aims to bring together the maximum of information which will be of value to the bacteriologist in his daily work. It is based largely on the techniques utilized at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. The topics included differ from those found in similar manuals in this country which are usually texts of laboratory diagnosis a...
