Review: Neuroprotective Nanocarriers in Glaucoma.

Glaucoma stands as a primary cause of irreversible blindness globally, characterized by the progressive dysfunction and loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). While current treatments primarily focus on controlling intraocular pressure (IOP), many patients continue to experience vision loss. Therefore, the research focus has shifted to therapeutic targets aimed at preventing or delaying RGC death and optic nerve degeneration to slow or halt disease progression.

Impact of Surface Composition Changes on the CO-Reduction Performance of Au-Cu Aerogels.

Over the past decades, the electrochemical CO-reduction reaction (CORR) has emerged as a promising option for facilitating intermittent energy storage while generating industrial raw materials of economic relevance such as CO. Recent studies have reported that Au-Cu bimetallic nanocatalysts feature a superior CO-to-CO conversion as compared with the monometallic components, thus improving the noble metal utilization. Under this premise and with the added advantage of a suppressed H-evolution reaction due to absence of a carbon support, herein, we employ bimetallic AuCu and AuCu aerogels (with a web thickness ≈7 nm) as CO-reduction electrocatalysts in 0.

Structural investigations of Au-Ni aerogels: morphology and element distribution.

The physical properties of nanomaterials are determined by their structural features, making accurate structural control indispensable. This carries over to future applications. In the case of metal aerogels, highly porous networks of aggregated metal nanoparticles, such precise tuning is still largely pending.

Variation in Experiences and Attainment in Surgery Between Ethnicities of UK Medical Students and Doctors (ATTAIN): Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: The unequal distribution of academic and professional outcomes between different minority groups is a pervasive issue in many fields, including surgery. The implications of differential attainment remain significant, not only for the individuals affected but also for the wider health care system. An inclusive health care system is crucial in meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse patient population, thereby leading to better outcomes.
