Myocardial Infarction Caused by Aortic Root Thrombus in a Patient With Antiphospholipid Syndrome.

Aortic root thrombosis is a rare but serious complication of antiphospholipid syndrome that can lead to myocardial infarction. Cardiac computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are essential for noninvasively evaluating myocardial infarction and aortic root thrombosis.

Why were alternating-current-driven electrochemiluminescence properties from Ru(bpy)3(2+) dramatically improved by the addition of titanium dioxide nanoparticles?

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is a phenomenon in which light is emitted from the excited state of a redox-active material generated by electrochemical reactions. Among light-emitting devices, ECL devices have various advantages in terms of structure and ease of fabrication, and therefore, they are expected to be next-generation emitting devices. In this study, we introduced rutile-type titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) in a Ru(ii)-complex-based electrolyte to improve the emission properties of an alternating current (AC)-driven ECL device.
