Article Synopsis
  • - This article discusses the synthesis of selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) stabilized by a quaternary ammonium compound through a chemical reduction process in water, optimizing the synthesis method via multifactorial experiments.
  • - The size and stability of the Se NPs were analyzed using techniques like dynamic light scattering, where negatively charged particles showed a bimodal size distribution (45 nm and 1-10 nm) while positively charged particles had a diameter of about 70 nm.
  • - The study also examined how pH levels and ionic strength affected the stability of Se NPs, finding that stable aggregates existed between pH 2 and 6 but degraded in alkaline conditions, with ionic interactions also influencing nanoparticle size based on charge.

With the aim of optimizing the technique for the synthesis of selenium nanoparticles stabilized with cocamidopropyl betaine, a multifactorial experiment with three input parameters and three levels of variation was carried out. The selenous acid, cocamidopropyl betaine, and ascorbic acid concentrations were considered as input parameters. The output parameters were the average hydrodynamic radius of the particles ( ) and ζ-potential.

In this work, selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) stabilized with cocamidopropyl betaine were synthesized for the first time. It was observed that Se NPs synthesized in excess of selenic acid had a negative charge with ζ-potential of -21.86 mV, and in excess of cocamidopropyl betaine-a positive charge with ξ =  + 22.

In this work, we obtained silver nanoparticles stabilized with polyvinylpyrrolidone, ranging in size from 70 to 110 nm, which exhibits good crystallinity and anisotropic structure. For the first time, we studied the influence of the molar ratio of silver between silver and peroxide on the oxidation process of the nanoparticles and determined the regularities of this process by analyzing changes in absorption spectra. Our results showed that at molar ratios of Ag:HO = 1:1 and 1:5, dependences of changes in the intensity, position and half-width of the absorption band of the plasmon resonance are rectilinear.

Article Synopsis
  • The initial COVID-19 cases were identified as pneumonia in China in December 2019, revealing not just respiratory issues but also complications affecting multiple organ systems, including the heart.
  • An 88-year-old male with no heart problems was admitted for a small bowel obstruction and unexpectedly developed bradycardia and high-degree AV block during his hospital stay.
  • After testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 without any other COVID-19 symptoms, it was noted that isolated conduction system issues may occur in asymptomatic COVID-19 patients, highlighting the potential need for permanent pacemaker implantation.
