Pirquitasite AgZnSnS (AZTS) nanocrystals (NCs) are emergent, lead-free emissive materials in the coinage chalcogenide family with applications in optoelectronic technologies. Like many multinary nanomaterials, their phase-pure synthesis is complicated by the generation of impurities, e.g.

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis, a type of small-medium vessel vasculitis, can pose diagnostic challenges due to its diverse clinical manifestations. We present a case that mimicked multisystem pyoderma gangrenosum with cutaneous ulceration, renal sparing, and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody negativity. Although antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody is positive in approximately 90% of cases of granulomatosis with polyangiitis, its negativity should not exclude the diagnosis.

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is a key weapon against antimicrobial resistance. Diagnostic microbiology laboratories use one-size-fits-all testing approaches that are often imprecise, inefficient, and inequitable. Here, we report a personalised approach that adapts laboratory testing for urinary tract infection to maximise the number of appropriate treatment options for each patient.

Article Synopsis
  • - Celiac disease (CeD) is being diagnosed more frequently in older adults, but research on complications in this age group is limited, prompting an investigation into frailty among older CeD patients.
  • - A study involving over 4,600 older adults with CeD and nearly 22,000 controls showed that CeD patients had a significantly higher prevalence of frailty at baseline (54.4% vs. 29.7%), and those without baseline frailty had a 66% increased risk of becoming frail within 5 years compared to controls.
  • - The findings indicate that older adults with CeD are more vulnerable to frailty, and even successful treatment such as mucosal healing does not reduce the risk
