Carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol is a key chemical reaction to store energy in chemical bonds, using carbon dioxide as an energy sink. Indium oxide is amongst the most promising candidates for replacing the copper and zinc oxide catalyst, which is industrially applied for syngas mixtures but less idoneous for educts with carbon dioxide due to instability reasons. The polymorph of indium oxide and the operating conditions remain to be optimized for optimal and stable performance.

- Five-year survival rates for vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) patients in Italy haven't improved over the past 30 years, which raises concerns about treatment effectiveness.
- A study of cancer registries found that in 2018, about 6,620 women in Italy were living with VSCC, but only 32% of newly diagnosed patients are considered curable, with many facing high mortality rates even after five years.
- The results highlight a critical need to revamp the vulvar care approach in Italy to better address the ongoing challenges in managing VSCC.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the real-world effectiveness of the Pembrolizumab/Axitinib combination therapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) in Italy, involving 170 patients treated between December 2020 and September 2023.
- Most participants had clear-cell histology (83%), and the treatment showed a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 19.2 months, with 84.6% achieving disease control.
- The study highlights key prognostic factors, including age and histology, that affect overall survival (OS) and establishes the combination's promise in clinical settings.
A cell for synchrotron-based grazing-incidence x-ray diffraction at ambient pressures and moderate temperatures in a controlled gas atmosphere is presented. The cell is suited for the in situ study of thin film samples under catalytically relevant conditions. To some extent, in addition to diffraction, the cell can be simultaneously applied for x-ray reflectometry and fluorescence studies.
