Metal halide perovskites with a two-dimensional structure are utilized in photovoltaics and optoelectronics. High-crystallinity CsSnBr specimens have been synthesized via ball milling. Differential scanning calorimetry curves show melting at 553 K (endothermic) and recrystallization at 516 K (exothermic).

The main goal of WL is reducing total body weight (TBW) and fat mass (FM). However, TBW loss is systematically accompanied by a decline in fat-free mass (FFM), predominantly in the first post-surgical month, despite protein supplementation.

- - The study investigates the fibrinolytic system in cancer patients, focusing on its role in tumor growth and mortality, using a fluorometric method to measure thrombin and plasmin generation in 323 cancer patients and 148 healthy controls.
- - Results indicated that cancer patients showed a hypercoagulable profile, with alterations in thrombin production and increased plasmin generation, as 68 patients died during a 12-month follow-up.
- - Two specific thrombin parameters, maximum amplitude and area under the curve, were linked to higher mortality risk in cancer patients, while no significant associations were found regarding plasmin generation.
Using electronic data from a large population-based network of Family Paediatricians (Pedianet), we aimed to describe the use of topical antimicrobials, including ozenoxacin 1% cream, in impetigo in children in Italy. We included 2929 children aged 6 months-14 years from 2016 to 2019 with at least one episode of impetigo treated with topical antimicrobials. Overall, 3051 cases of impetigo were included in the analysis.

Methods: Thirty-two individuals (52 ± 10 yr; 17 were female) randomly assigned to exercise ( n = 12) or control groups ( n = 20) had their anthropometric (weight, body mass index), hemodynamic (brachial and central blood pressure), vascular (arterial stiffness), ventilatory (pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength), and functional parameters (handgrip strength, five-time sit to stand, timed up and go test, and 6-min walking test) assessed at baseline (30-45 d of hospital discharged) and after 12 wk of follow-up.
Results: Both groups similarly increased ( P < 0.
