ZnO nanorods grown on Cu wire mesh provide a high sensitivity non-enzymatic absorbance glucose sensor.

A highly sensitive non-enzymatic absorption-based glucose sensor is introduced that combines ZnO nanorods with the ferrous oxidation-xylenol orange (FOX) assay. ZnO nanorods were successfully synthesized on the surface of a copper wire mesh, exhibiting high crystallinity, purity, and a large surface area. The glucose sensor displays a high sensitivity of 0.

Effects of major trauma care organisation on mortality in a European level 1 trauma centre: A retrospective analysis of 2016-2023.

Introduction: The centralisation of care for trauma patients in trauma centres, alongside the creation of inclusive trauma networks, has proven to reduce mortality. In Europe, such structured trauma programs and trauma networks are in development.

Objective: To describe the aetiology and evolution of in-hospital mortality in a developing European level 1 trauma centre, to determine the early effect of trauma care reorganisation on mortality and to identify the areas for future investments in trauma care.

[Fat embolism syndrome after a lateral tibial plateau fracture, a case report].

Fat Embolism Syndrome (FES) is a condition associated with fractures of long bones and pelvic fractures. In this case report, FES was diagnosed in a 37-year-old man with a lateral tibial plateau fracture who developed respiratory and neurological symptoms shortly after hospitalization. Brain MRI findings were suggestive of central fat emboli.

Pathways of cluster growth: infra-red multi-photon dissociation spectroscopy of a series of Re-Si clusters, [ReSi], = 3-9.

Infra-red multiple-photon dissociation spectroscopy on Xe-tagged Re/Si clusters, [ReSi], = 3-9, reveals intense absorption features around 400 cm, along with, in some cases, additional bands in the 250-350 cm window. A survey of the potential energy surface using density functional theory in conjunction with particle swarm optimisation indicates a growth pattern based on a growing network of Si atoms wrapped around the Re centre: the Si units can be viewed as fragments of a putative 16-vertex Frank-Kasper polyhedron. The structural evolution for the [ReSi] series differs significantly from the iso-electronic Mn series studied previously, where the metal ion is typically bound externally to the surface of a growing 3-dimensional Si cluster, the differences reflecting the greater accessibility of 5d 3d electron density.
