A nanomedicine research project with social impact has been approved.

February 13, 2024 

The project submitted by the Nanomedicine Research Group of the University of Chihuahua, entitled "Development of nanomedicine systems for extended release of bioactive compounds, extracted from high yielding nuts in the state of Chihuahua, as adjuncts in chemotherapy treatments for leukemia", has been APPROVED.

This innovative project proposes a promising strategy to improve chemotherapy treatments for leukemia, through the use of nanotechnology and bioactive compounds extracted from local high-yielding nuts. The research will focus on the development of extended release systems to optimize the efficacy of these compounds as therapeutic adjuncts.

The research team is excited about the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of medicine and looks forward to making significant advances in the treatment of leukemia. We are grateful for the support provided by all the institutions involved and look forward to sharing the results of this exciting project in the near future.

Groundbreaking Review Explores Treatment Efficacy for Hemiplegia in Acute Ischemic Stroke 

January 13, 2024

In a recent publication in Ibrain, researchers Karen Adriana Carrillo Navarrete and Christian Chapa González delve into the critical realm of acute ischemic stroke treatment. Their systematic review, "Hemiplegia in Acute Ischemic Stroke," scrutinizes the impact of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) within a 4.5-hour window, shedding light on their effectiveness in patients with hemiplegia.

The comprehensive analysis, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, reveals a positive trend in neurological symptom improvement and functional recovery. The study underscores the challenges of patient heterogeneity and limited IVT use due to contraindications, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment strategies. The findings highlight the dual benefits of early thrombolytic interventions and MT in enhancing neurological status and functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients.
