Formation of the hard-magnetic epsilon iron oxide phase from akaganéite nanoparticles.

Elongated akaganéite (-FeOOH) nanoparticles were prepared by a forced hydrolysis route using FeCl6HO employing various urea concentrations.-FeOOH nanoparticles stabilized within the SiOmatrix were annealed at different temperatures, ranging from 500 °C to 1300 °C. It was observed that-FeOOH underwent a temperature-induced conversion to-FeOand subsequently to-FeO.

Mixed-Matrix Organo-Silica-Hydrotalcite Membrane for CO Separation Part 1: Synthesis and Analytical Description.

Hydrotalcite exhibits the capability to adsorb CO at elevated temperatures. High surface area and favorable coating properties are essential to harness its potential for practical applications. Stable alcohol-based dispersions are needed for thin film applications of mixed membranes containing hydrotalcite.

The CAREPAL-8: a short screening tool for multidimensional family caregiver burden in palliative care.

Background: Family caregivers of terminally ill and dying people do not only experience varying levels but also different dimensions of caregiver-related strain and burden. The aim of the study was to develop a short multidimensional screening tool for the detection of burden in family caregivers in palliative care.

Methods: Family caregivers of cancer patients newly admitted to specialist inpatient palliative care (N = 232) completed questionnaires on psychological burden, quality of life, social support and need fulfillment.

Ru(II)-Photoactive Agents for Targeting ER Stress and Immunogenic Cell Death.

Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising avenue for cancer treatment by bolstering the immune system's ability to recognize and attack cancer cells. Photodynamic therapy shows potential in enhancing antitumor immunity, though the mechanisms behind its success are not fully understood. In this manuscript, we investigate two previously reported green light activated PCT/PDT agents where compound - [Ru(tpy)(Me2bpy)( )] , (tpy = 2,2':6',2''- terpyridine, Me2bpy = 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, = pyridyl-BODIPY-I2,) - shows remarkable photoselectivity in assays containing both 2D cancer cells and 3D cocultures containing BALB/c macrophages and 4T1 murine breast cancer cells.
