Hydrothermal Hot Isostatic Pressing (HHIP)-Experimental Proof of Concept.

A new hydrothermal hot isostatic pressing (HHIP) approach, involving hydrothermal water conditions and no usage of inert gas, was hypothesized and tested on 3D-printed Al-10%Si-0.3%Mg (%Wt) parts. The aluminum-based metal was practically inert at the applied HHIPing conditions of 300-350 MPa and 250-350 °C, which enabled the employment of a long (6-24 h) HHIP treatment with hardly any loss of material (the overall loss due to corrosion was mostly <0.

Electronic Package Leaflets for Vaccines: What Are People's Perceptions in Italy?

In Italy, the paper package leaflet (PPL) is the official document that is approved by the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) for each medicine. PPLs of all medicines, including vaccines, are freely available online by accessing the AIFA website. To investigate people's attitudes toward possible access to the PPLs of vaccines and the acceptability of switching to an electronic package leaflet (e-leaflet) in the future, we surveyed three target groups (pregnant women, young parents, and older people) in Italy, via an online survey.
