Abstract: In an embodiment, a drug delivery system and method of use thereof to treat inflammation and bacterial pathogens including multi-drug resistant pathogens, such as MDR-Pseudomonas aeruginosa, or reactive oxygen species in a subject is provided. In some embodiments, the drug delivery system includes a polymeric material, an excepient, an antioxidant agent, and an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent. In some embodiments, the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent is a salt of an anti-inflammatory agent and an antimicrobial agent formulated to provide a combination of antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action from a single molecule. In some embodiments, the combined anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent is a silver salt of ibuprofen. In other embodiments, the combined anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent is unmodified, native ibuprofen.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method to detect analytes, the method including contacting a sample on a substrate, where the substrate is a nanoplasmonic paper, performing surface-enhanced Raman scattering detection with paper chromatography separation on the substrate, and identifying at least one analyte in the sample. In a further embodiment, an apparatus to detect analytes, the apparatus including a vacuum pump coupled to a filtration unit operable to collect solid particles off an object and the filtration unit including a filter substrate, where the filter substrate includes nanoplasmonic paper.
