A New Shear-Stress-Based Point-of-Care Technology for Evaluation of the Hemostatic Pattern in Whole Blood.

The currently available point-of-care hemostasis tests are burdened by criticisms concerning the use of different activators and inhibitors and the lack of dynamic flow. These operating conditions may constitute an impediment to the determination of the patient's hemostatic condition. Hence, the diffusion of these tests in clinical practice is still limited to specific scenarios.

Boosting the O-to-HO Selectivity Using Sn-Doped Carbon Electrocatalysts: Towards Highly Efficient Cathodes for Actual Water Decontamination.

The high cost and often complex synthesis procedure of new highly selective electrocatalysts (particularly those based on noble metals) for HO production are daunting obstacles to penetration of this technology into the wastewater treatment market. In this work, a simple direct thermal method has been employed to synthesize Sn-doped carbon electrocatalysts, which showed an electron transfer number of 2.04 and outstanding two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) selectivity of up to 98.
