The first solid-state route to luminescent Au(I)-glutathionate and its pH-controlled transformation into ultrasmall oligomeric Au(SG) nanoclusters for application in cancer radiotheraphy.

There is still a need for synthetic approaches that are much faster, easier to scale up, more robust and efficient for generating gold(I)-thiolates that can be easily converted into gold-thiolate nanoclusters. Mechanochemical methods can offer significantly reduced reaction times, increased yields and straightforward recovery of the product, compared to the solution-based reactions. For the first time, a new simple, rapid and efficient mechanochemical redox method in a ball-mill was developed to produce the highly luminescent, pH-responsive Au(I)-glutathionate, [Au(SG)].

Dynamics of atlantoaxial rotation related to age and sex: a cross-sectional study of 308 subjects.

Background Context: Physiological ranges and dynamic changes of atlantoaxial rotation (ROT), total cervical spine rotation (ROT) and the percentage of ROT from ROT (ROT) for different age groups have not yet been investigated in a sufficiently sized cohort. Furthermore, it is not clear whether demographic variables such a sex, smoking status or diabetes affect ROT, ROT and ROT.

Purpose: Obtain physiological ranges of ROT, ROT and ROT for different age groups and determine their age-based dynamics.

Universal admission laboratory screening for severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) asymptomatic infection across a large health system.

Background: Admission laboratory screening for asymptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been utilized to mitigate healthcare-associated severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission. An understanding of the impact of such testing across a variety of patient populations is needed.

Methods: SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid amplification admission testing results for all asymptomatic patients across 4 distinct inpatient facilities between April 20, 2020, and June 14, 2021, were analyzed.

Rapid sourdough yeast identification using panfungal PCR combined with high resolution melting analysis.

The microbial composition of the sourdough starter affects the sourdough bread properties. Therefore, it is crucial to find a tool for rapid, time-saving, and economical identification of the sourdough microbiota. We focused on the rapid identification of sourdough yeasts.
