Article Synopsis
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can lead to serious health issues if not properly treated.
- Researchers conducted a study on patients with SLE who did not respond to standard treatments and were given rituximab (RTX) to induce and maintain remission.
- The results showed that RTX significantly reduced the need for other immunosuppressive drugs and decreased the number of disease relapses, indicating it is both effective and safe for these patients.
Crack-free monolithic gels were prepared from different mixtures of colloidal silica with a sol solution containing tetraethoxysilane, under powerful ultrasonic agitation (sonosol). Recently, information on the structure of these gels, inferred from N2 adsorption and mercury intrusion porosimetry, was presented. In the present paper, these data were used to construct structural models of the gels using Monte Carlo calculations on the basis of random close packing (RPC) premises.
