Role of nanomaterials in deactivating multiple drug resistance efflux pumps – A review
TL;DR: In this article , a study was devised to assess and review nanoparticles' role on efflux systems and discuss how specialized particles can be designed towards an infectious host's particular drug ejection systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palliative Wound Care: Less Is More
TL;DR: Palliative wound care is a philosophy of wound management that prioritizes comfort over healing and attends to the emotional distress these wounds can cause, and intervention strategies focus on management of symptoms such as pain, odor, bleeding, and exudate.

Influence of the stabilizers on the toxicity of metallic nanomaterials in aquatic organisms and human cell lines.
Tatiana Andreani,Verónica Nogueira,Vera V. Pinto,Maria José Ferreira,Maria G. Rasteiro,Amélia M. Silva,Ruth Pereira,Carlos M. Pereira +7 more
TL;DR: It was confirmed with consistent data, that the toxicity of metallic NMs is a complex combination of average size, chemical composition, solubilization or persistence in suspension of the metallic forms, interaction with test medium components and sensitivity of test species and cell lines.

The bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles
Jose Ruben Morones,Jose Luis Elechiguerra,A. Camacho,Katherine B. Holt,Juan B. Kouri,Jose Tapia Ramirez,Miguel Jose Yacaman +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the bactericidal properties of the nanoparticles are size dependent, since the only nanoparticles that present a direct interaction with the bacteria preferentially have a diameter of approximately 1-10 nm.
