Adult-onset of mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesion (MERS): case report and systematic review.

Background: Mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with reversible splenial lesion (MERS) is a clinical-radiological syndrome characterized by transient central nervous system symptoms and a reversible lesion in the splenium of the corpus callosum (SCC) on magnetic resonance (MR). We reported a case of adult-onset MERS with uncommon presentation and reviewed the existing literature.

Methods: We described a case of adult-onset MERS with uncommon symptoms and signs and performed a systematic review of case series including more than four patients of adult-onset (> 14 years old) MERS, from January 2000 to December 2022.

Origin of Broad Emission Induced by Rigid Aromatic Ditopic Cations in Low-Dimensional Metal Halide Perovskites.

The development of broadband emitters based on metal halide perovskites (MHPs) requires the elucidation of structure-emission property correlations. Herein, we report a combined experimental and theoretical study on a series of novel low-dimensional lead chloride perovskites, including ditopic aromatic cations. Synthesized lead chloride perovskites and their bromide analogues show both narrow and broad photoluminescence emission properties as a function of their cation and halide nature.

Air- and water-stable and photocatalytically active germanium-based 2D perovskites by organic spacer engineering.

There is increasing interest in the role of metal halide perovskites for heterogeneous catalysis. Here, we report a Ge-based 2D perovskite material that shows intrinsic water stability realized through organic cation engineering. Incorporating 4-phenylbenzilammonium (PhBz) we demonstrate, by means of extended experimental and computational results, that PhBzGeBr and PhBzGeI can achieve relevant air and water stability.

Cubic or Not Cubic? Combined Experimental and Computational Investigation of the Short-Range Order of Tin Halide Perovskites.

Tin-based metal halide perovskites with a composition of ASnX (where A= MA or FA and X = I or Br) have been investigated by means of X-ray total scattering techniques coupled to pair distribution function (PDF) analysis. These studies revealed that that none of the four perovskites has a cubic symmetry at the local scale and that a degree of increasing distortion is always present, in particular when the cation size is increased, i.e.

Impact of Covid-19 pandemic on injection-based practice: report from an Italian multicenter and multidisciplinary survey.

Background: There are no papers exploring the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the injection-based practice in patients affected by different rheumatic diseases, including osteoarthritis. The aim was to investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on injection-based practice trough the Italian country.

Study Design: A survey-based retrospective cross-sectional study.
