New insights into microstructure of irradiated beryllium based on experiments and computer simulations.

The microstructural response of beryllium after neutron irradiation at various temperatures (643-923 K) was systematically studied using analytical transmission electron microscope that together with outcomes from advanced atomistic modelling provides new insights in the mechanisms of microstructural changes in this material. The most prominent feature of microstructural modification is the formation of gas bubbles, which is revealed at all studied irradiation temperatures. Except for the lowest irradiation temperature, gas bubbles have the shape of thin hexagonal prisms with average height and diameter increasing with temperature.

Compliance and complications of culdotomy.

Background: Culdotomy is a practically exclusive appanage of gynaecological surgeons. Today the transvaginal access to pelvis and abdominal cavity is also utilized for non-gynecological surgery.

Methods: The authors report the complications and compliance of 326 culdotomies performed in the Simple Maternity Unit of Asiago Hospital (Asiago, Vicenza, Italy).

Vaginal myomectomy is a safe and feasible procedure: a retrospective study of 46 cases.

Aim: The aim of this study was to establish the feasibility and safety of vaginal myomectomy via posterior colpotomy in a series of consecutive procedures performed by one surgeon.

Material And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in a tertiary care university hospital, involving 46 patients with symptomatic myomas and uteruses smaller than 16 gestational weeks and with no signs of pelvic disease. After a presurgical study, the patients underwent vaginal myomectomy.

Automation of dissolution tests.

Dissolution testing of drug formulations was introduced in the 1960s and accepted by health regulatory authorities in the 1970s. Since then, the importance of dissolution has grown rapidly as have the number of tests and demands in quality-control laboratories. Recent research works lead to the development of in-vitro dissolution tests as replacements for human and animal bioequivalence studies.

Optical spectroscopy of lanthanide ions in ZnO-TeO2 glasses.

Zinc tellurite glasses of compositions 19ZnO-80TeO2-1Ln2O3 with Ln = Eu, Er, Nd and Tm were prepared by melt quenching. The absorption spectra were measured and from the experimental oscillator strengths of the f-->f transitions the Judd-Ofelt parameters ohm(lambda) were obtained. The values of the ohm(lambda) parameters are in the range usually observed for oxide glasses.
