Morganella morganii: A Rare Cause of Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis.

is an opportunistic Gram-negative bacillus commonly found in the human gastrointestinal tract and the environment. In adults, it is often associated with nosocomial infections, primarily surgical wound infections, urinary tract infections, and hepatobiliary infections. It is a rare cause of early-onset neonatal sepsis, with fewer than 15 reported cases in the literature.

Detection of electromagnetic phase transitions using a helical cavity susceptometer.

Fast and sensitive phase transition detection is one of the most important requirements for new material synthesis and characterization. For solid-state samples, microwave absorption techniques can be employed for detecting phase transitions because it simultaneously monitors changes in electronic and magnetic properties. However, microwave absorption techniques require expensive high-frequency microwave equipment and bulky hollow cavities.

Unusual Magnetic Hysteresis and Transition between Vortex and Double Pole States Arising from Interlayer Coupling in Diamond-Shaped Nanostructures.

Controlling the magnetic ground states at the nanoscale is a long-standing basic research problem and an important issue in magnetic storage technologies. Here, we designed a nanostructured material that exhibits very unusual hysteresis loops due to a transition between vortex and double pole states. Arrays of 700 nm diamond-shaped nanodots consisting of Py(30 nm)/Ru()/Py(30 nm) (Py, permalloy (NiFe)) trilayers were fabricated by interference lithography and e-beam evaporation.

Metabolic active tumour volume quantified on [F]FDG PET/CT further stratifies TNM stage IV non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess whether the whole body metabolic active tumour volume (MTV), quantified on staging [F]FDG PET/CT, could further stratify stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

Methods: A group of 160 stage IV NSCLC patients, submitted to staging [F]FDG PET/CT between July 2010 and May 2020, were retrospectively evaluated. MTV was quantified.

A quantum material spintronic resonator.

In a spintronic resonator a radio-frequency signal excites spin dynamics that can be detected by the spin-diode effect. Such resonators are generally based on ferromagnetic metals and their responses to spin torques. New and richer functionalities can potentially be achieved with quantum materials, specifically with transition metal oxides that have phase transitions that can endow a spintronic resonator with hysteresis and memory.
