Emergency department crowding: An assessment of the potential impact of the See-and-Treat protocol for patient flow management at an Italian hospital.

Background: Crowding and patient flow management are among the most relevant issues for emergency departments (EDs). This results in delayed treatment, adverse outcomes and increased costs. For these reasons, nurse-independent treatment protocols were developed aimed at managing non-emergency patients outside EDs thus improving patient flow.

Possible viral agents to consider in the differential diagnosis of blepharoconjunctivitis.

Background: Blepharoconjunctivitis poses a diagnostic challenge due to its diverse etiology, including viral infections. Blepharoconjunctivits can be acute or chronic, self-limiting, or needing medical therapy.

Aim: To review possible viral agents crucial for accurate differential diagnosis in cases of blepharoconjunctivitis.

Idiopathic epiretinal membrane surgery with internal limiting membrane peeling: An optical coherence tomography angiography analysis of macular capillary plexus changes.

Purpose: This study aims to assess retinal vascular changes following internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) treatment using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A).

Design: A retrospective study was conducted.

Methods: A cohort of thirty-nine patients was enlisted for this study.

Evolution of Mo species and ZSM-5 microstructure with temperature and its impact on methane dehydroaromatisation activity.

Mo-ZSM-5 is a well-studied catalyst for its ability to convert methane to aromatics and hydrogen. Since the process is thermodynamically 'uphill', high temperatures are necessary to achieve acceptable product yields. However, these temperatures have been shown to negatively impact the stability of the zeolite, with the formation of aluminum molybdates being proposed as particularly responsible for framework collapse.
