Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on improving label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) by developing simple pretreatment steps to enhance the detection of target analytes in complex samples, such as urine, while minimizing interference from other substances.!* -
  • Researchers successfully created a SERS assay that accurately detects three analytes—methotrexate, cephalosporin antibiotics, and creatinine—demonstrating effective monitoring of cancer treatment and kidney function in patients.!* -
  • The findings emphasize the need to consider competitive adsorption on SERS surfaces in future assay developments, highlighting its critical role in achieving accurate and reliable analysis of body fluids.!*

Background: Thoracic aortic aneurysm is a latent disease with a high risk of death. Today, as data are accumulating, an estimation of the differences in thoracic aneurysm in men and women of different age groups is required. The present study evaluated the type of atherosclerotic aortic lesions in males and females at different ages regarding the presence or absence of aortic dissection.

Unlabelled: In recent years, the prevalence of thoracic aortic aneurysm has increased, and in most cases this pathological condition is diagnosed accidentally. The aim of the current study was to determine the relationship of clinical, laboratory and morphological data with the presence of aorta wall dissection in patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm to reveal factors associated with aorta dissection.

Materials And Methods: The following data of 109 patients mean aged of 53 years with thoracic aortic aneurysm (43 patients with aortic dissection) were analyzed: presence/absence of arterial hypertension, indicators of general blood analysis and blood biochemistry, immunomorphological characteristics of the expression of Von Willebrand factor.

Article Synopsis
  • - Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b was detected in the U.S. in 2021, affecting poultry and wild animals while leading to significant losses in dairy production across multiple states by 2024.
  • - A Texas dairy cow diagnosed with the virus showed symptoms like reduced feed intake, thick yellow milk, and decreased milk production, prompting investigations that identified more than 200 affected herds in 14 states.
  • - Experimental infection in Holstein heifers and lactating cows confirmed the disease's mild clinical effects in heifers and more pronounced symptoms in cows, providing important groundwork for understanding transmission and potential interventions for future outbreaks.

The molar heat capacity of 1,4-bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)butane bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide dicationic ionic compound ([C(MIm)][NTf]) has been studied over the temperature range from 6 to 350 K by adiabatic calorimetry. In the above temperature interval, this compound has been found to form crystal, liquid, and supercooled liquid. For [C(MIm)][NTf], the temperature of fusion ° = (337.
