Jumping Dynamics of Cyanomethyl Radicals on Corrugated Graphene/Ru(0001) Substrates.

Graphene adsorbed on Ru(0001) has been widely used as a template for adsorbing and isolating molecules, assembling organic-molecule structures with desired geometric and electronic properties and even inducing chemical reactions that are challenging to achieve in the gas phase. To fully exploit the potential of this substrate, for example, by being able to tune a graphene-based catalyst to perform optimally under specific conditions, it is crucial to understand the factors and mechanisms governing the molecule-substrate interaction. To contribute to this effort, we have conducted a combined experimental and theoretical study of the adsorption of cyanomethyl radicals (-CHCN) on this substrate below room temperature by performing scanning tunneling microscopy experiments and density functional theory simulations.

Performance of the VITEK® MS system for the identification of filamentous fungi in a microbiological laboratory in Chile.

Filamentous fungi are an emergent cause of severe infections in immunocompromised patients. Timely and accurate identification is crucial to initiate appropriate therapy. Traditional identification methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and operator-dependent.

Recent trends and biases in mesophotic ecosystem research.

Mesophotic ecosystems (approx. 30-150 m) represent a significant proportion of the world's oceans yet have long remained understudied due to challenges in accessing these deeper depths. Owing to advances in underwater technologies and a growing scientific and management interest, there has been a major expansion in research of both (sub)tropical mesophotic coral ecosystems and temperate mesophotic ecosystems.

Prognostic significance of ACTN3 genotype in Duchenne muscular dystrophy: Findings from an Argentine patient cohort.

A wide phenotypic spectrum exists among DMD patients, with genetic modifiers seen as a putative cause of this variability. The main aim was to evaluate the effect of 4 genetic modifiers and the location of DMD variants on disease severity in a DMD Argentine cohort. A secondary objective was to provide a summary of the current state of knowledge and association of the tested loci with DMD's phenotype.

Zinc sulfate on neonatal hyperbilirubinemia: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis.

Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a prevalent condition, with a risk of serious complications. Phototherapy is the standard treatment for significant cases, but its limitations highlight the need for additional options. Zinc sulfate has emerged as a potential adjunctive treatment.
