State of the Art in Biomaterials for Drug Delivery
Nowadays, biomaterials are widely used in medicine and the medical care fields, playing increasingly important roles due to their unique structure and excellent performance. In particular, biomedical materials exhibit good biocompatibility and biodegradability, which allow for their design in drug delivery to the human body.Biomedical materials as anticancer drug carriers can be implemented in targeted drug delivery in the human body, improve the utilization rate of the cancer drug effects, and largely reduce the side effects of anticancer drugs on normal human body cell tissue. In addition, the drug carrier can also effectively improve the properties and stability of anticancer drugs in tissues, enhance the slow release of drugs, and reduce the lack of drug use in the body. Moreover, advancements in biomaterials have improved the safety and efficacy of diagnostic, therapeutic, and theranostic approaches for various diseases. The structures and interactions between biomaterials and drugs can influence the pesticide effect and have the potential to affect cellular physiology due to the close relationship between biological systems and biomaterial features. Drug delivery systems can also provide novel solutions by developing desirable and ideal materials to control the physicochemical, biological, structural, and mechanical microenvironments for successful drug delivery.This Special Issue focuses on biomaterials, including, but not limited to, natural materials, composite materials, functionalized nanomaterials, hydrogels, etc., for different drug delivery applications.
A World without Measles and Rubella
Measles and rubella continue to affect children worldwide, even though effective, safe, and inexpensive vaccines have been available for over 50 years. Although measles immunization is estimated to have prevented over 56 million childhood deaths since the year 2000, the residual annual burden of 136,216 measles deaths and 32,000 children born with congenital rubella syndrome is unacceptable. Eliminating measles and rubella worldwide is technically feasible, and every WHO region has set measles and rubella elimination targets. However, without a global target, regions are struggling with achieving and then sustaining measles/rubella elimination. Global measles/rubella-containing vaccination coverage stagnated at around 85% for over a decade before declining to lower levels in many countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many planned supplemental immunization activities intended to fill the immunity gaps were postponed or canceled during the pandemic. Additionally, nineteen countries have yet to introduce rubella-containing vaccines despite the overwhelming evidence of disease and economic burden, as well as ethical considerations.
Fractal and Fractional Analysis in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering
Over the past two decades, various signal and image analyses, as well as bioinformatics approaches, have had a significant impact on research in life sciences. Problems arising in medical and biological research depend on a multitude of system parameters, often in a nonlinear way; these problems can often be successfully addressed via the tools of complex system analysis. Fractal and fractional analysis, originally rooted in theoretical developments, has later been recognized as well-suited for analyzing problems that occur in nature. Due to the random multiplicative processes in an organism, influencing growth, differentiation, and function, structures can be described in terms of scaled copies of self-similar entities. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are increasingly being employed in combination with fractional calculus.This Special Issue Reprint offers an overview of state-of-the-art developments in the field of fractal and fractional-based methodologies as applied to the analysis and modeling of biological entities. Eight out of ten articles directly target cutting-edge medical problems. It is highly multidisciplinary and is expected to be of interest to researchers from the health sector, life sciences, and applied mathematics, as well as to readers with different academic or practical backgrounds.

Dietary Habits and Metabolic Health
"Dietary Habits and Metabolic Health" examines the interplay between nutritional practices and metabolic outcomes, focusing on emerging research across diverse dietary factors. Key areas of exploration include the metabolic consequences of altered nutrient profiles in processed foods, such as protein and lipid oxidation products, glycosylation derivatives, and microbial-driven nutrient modifications. It also investigates the role of probiotics and prebiotics in modulating gut microbiota, metabolic pathways, and physiological responses under varying dietary patterns. Additional topics encompass the metabolic effects of dietary practices like energy restriction, single-nutrient limitation, and intermittent fasting, as well as connections between diet, gut microbiota composition, and chronic disease risk. The issue further highlights personalized dietary interventions as a tool for metabolic regulation. By synthesizing evidence from food science, nutrition, and medicine, this Special Issue aims to deepen insights into how dietary behaviors influence metabolic health and inform strategies for disease prevention and management.
Metabolic Features and Nutritional Interventions in Chronic Diseases
A growing body of research indicates an extensive metabolic dysfunction in a spectrum of chronic diseases, comprising aging, cancer, and diseases affecting the cardiovascular system, liver, and kidneys. The phenotypes associated with metabolic dysfunction vary depending on disease type and stage. In turn, the altered metabolism drives disease pathology. Consequently, the nutritional modulation of metabolic status in chronic disease is widely acknowledged to reduce disease incidence. For instance, tailored nutritional intervention in cancers with altered metabolism determines the improved therapeutic responses. Additionally, counteracting muscle loss and osteoporosis are clinical goals of nutritional support in an aged population. Mechanistically, bioactive nutrients or tailored nutritional regimen modulate metabolism through mitochondrial homeostasis, immuno-regulation, as well as epigenome regulation to impact disease progression. This reprint aims to be an interdisciplinary platform that covers (1) characterization of metabolic features and/or nutritional requirement in a certain type of chronic disease; (2) defining the effects and mechanism of a specific nutrient or nutritional intervention on metabolism; (3) development of new nutritional strategy that improves disease outcome by altering metabolism.
Education and Communication in Veterinary Clinical Practice
Effective communication is a hallmark of successful veterinary clinical practice. Communication underpins professionalism, establishes effective teamwork, and is essential to veterinary-client relationships. Teaching or developing effective communication is an increasingly important component of the 'hidden' curriculum for veterinary educators, introduced and reinforced throughout the teaching program. Effective communication is also a focus for prospective employers when considering a new graduate. Successful communication must also consider the rapidly changing modalities of how people communicate and, importantly, how important communication will be toward resilience in a highly stressful profession. This Special Issue highlights what is effective communication, how this can be 'taught', and its importance toward veterinary clinical practice.

Furthermore, these studies offer insights into the NPs' chemical-profile-based standardization and multifaced biological properties-antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and cytotoxic-thus demonstrating the need for multidisciplinary studies.
Morphofunctional Nutritional Assessment in Clinical Practice
The diagnosis of malnutrition is difficult because it does not depend only on weight at a given time, but also on its evolution and the underlying pathological situations. Therefore, the clinical use of body composition measurements is essential for adequate assessment of this malnutrition, especially in the evaluation of muscle mass and function. In this context, nutritional assessment can no longer be based on the determination of classical anthropometric measurements. The concept of morphofunctional nutritional assessment postulates that the diagnosis and monitoring of nutritional status must be carried out using techniques and biomarkers that determine the evaluation of intake, anthropometry, body composition, muscle strength, and function that include techniques such as bioelectrical impedance analysis or nutritional ultrasound, and new biological parameters too. This Special Issue aims to show the implementation of this new concept of nutritional evaluation in the management of patients and in clinical research in nutrition.

Effect of Nutrition on Maternal Health, Fetal Development and Perinatal Outcomes
It is evident that a multitude of lifestyle factors exert a considerable influence on the wellbeing of pregnant women and their foetuses. Of these factors, dietary behaviour is of particular significance. Despite the increased requirements for certain nutrients, such as iron and folic acid, during pregnancy, the fundamental principles of healthy eating remain consistent with those of the general population. A substantial body of research has established that an inadequate nutritional intake during pregnancy exerts a detrimental effect on perinatal outcomes, including complications during childbirth and suboptimal foetal development. Furthermore, this inadequate intake poses risks to the long-term health of the offspring. It is imperative to ensure an adequate intake of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals in order to satisfy the needs of both the mother and the foetus.The developmental origin of health and disease (DOHaD) model hypothesises that the intrauterine environment can induce epigenetic modifications and alter gene expression patterns in the foetus. These alterations have the potential to render neonates and children susceptible to a range of diseases later in life. The formulation of national and international nutritional guidelines is meticulous, informed by robust evidence regarding the benefits of adequate nutrient consumption and the risks associated with deficiencies.

Comprehensive Review on Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma
Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a relatively uncommon type of cancer; however, its incidence has risen in the past few decades, mainly due to improved detection through advanced imaging and endoscopic technologies. It is an aggressive tumor with up to 60% and 25% of patients presenting with non-organ confined and metastatic diseases at diagnosis, respectively. Radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision is the gold standard for the management of UTUC, regardless of tumor location. Nevertheless, kidney-sparing techniques, including endoscopic ablation and segmental ureterectomy, have become the preferred options in select patients, especially those with low-risk disease. Despite surgery with curative intent, long-term cancer-specific survival is still low, predominantly due to undetected microscopic metastasis. The management and prognosis of UTUC have improved in recent years, given the widespread use of minimally invasive approaches and novel neoadjuvant and adjuvant systemic therapies.This Special Issue, titled "Comprehensive Review on Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: An Update in 2023", highlights different aspects of the multidisciplinary management of UTUC, including imaging, novel diagnostic markers, neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies, and surgical interventions. It includes 11 papers (1 editorial, 7 review articles, and 3 original papers), all of which were written by experts in the field of UTUC from around the world.

This interdisciplinary collection examined how insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, central obesity, and hypertension-core components of MetS-converge to elevate the risk of T2DM and cardiovascular disease, the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Published in Diabetology (ISSN 2673-4540), this Special Issue brought together high-quality original research articles, reviews, and communications addressing the biochemical, molecular, physiological, and clinical aspects of cardiorenometabolic syndrome. Topics included genetic susceptibility, pharmacogenetics, lifestyle interventions, diagnostic biomarkers, and emerging drug therapies, offering a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying metabolic-driven diabetes. Now compiled as a Reprint, this volume serves as a timely, authoritative resource for clinicians, researchers, and public health professionals. By synthesizing current knowledge and showcasing multidisciplinary insights, it aims to advance both clinical practice and scientific inquiry into T2DM prevention, early detection, and treatment. This Reprint stands as a valuable contribution to the ongoing efforts to mitigate the global impact of type 2 diabetes and its associated complications.

Pharmaceutical Surge Requirements for the Prime Vendor Program-Europe in Support of Military Operations Other Than War
The U.S. military in Europe often provides medical support to military operations other than war due to unstable situations in that region of the world. The increasing support to peace operations and humanitarian assistance have led the military medical units in Europe to reexamine the pharmaceuticals traditionally maintained to support surges. This research was a qualitative, exploratory study using multiple-case study strategy to identify the specific pharmaceuticals utilized in the initial stages of military operations other than war primarily peacekeeping, peace enforcement and humanitarian assistance. The operations chosen as the units of analysis were Operation Provide Promise (Croatia), Operation Support Hope (Rwanda), and Operation Joint Endeavor (Bosnia-Herzegovina). The results of the research show that some unique surge requirements exist for military operations other than war. Taking advantage of existing clauses in its Prime Vendor contracts, the military medical community in Europe can position itself to adequately support surges for MOOTW. Future studies can continue to build on this concept and identify pharmaceutical inventory to support a wide range of contingencies which can be maintained by commercial vendors for immediate access.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
