We report on a smart application of carbon nanotubes for kinetic stabilization of lipid particles that contain self-assembled nanostructures in their cores. The preparation of lipid particles requires rather low concentrations of carbon nanotubes permitting their use in biomedical applications such as drug delivery.
Local anesthetic thoracoscopy (LAT) is essential for diagnosing recurrent, undiagnosed pleural effusion when a guideline-based workup fails to provide a specific cause. LAT can be performed as a day-case procedure by chest physicians. Here, we present a step-by-step approach for a successful and safe procedure.
