The oxidation of the Rh(111) surface at oxygen pressures from 10(-10) mbar to 0.5 bar and temperatures between 300 and 900 K has been studied on the atomic scale using a multimethod approach of experimental and theoretical techniques. Oxidation starts at the steps, resulting in a trilayer O-Rh-O surface oxide which, although not thermodynamically stable, prevents further oxidation at intermediate pressures. A thick corundum like Rh2O3 bulk oxide is formed only at significantly higher pressures and temperatures.

Pubertal disorders in the form of delayed puberty (DP) or precocious puberty (PP) can cause considerable anxiety to both children and parents. Since the clinical and biochemical signatures of self-limiting and permanent conditions overlap considerably, it can be hard to determine whether to offer them reassurance or intervention. Researchers have thus long been searching for a robust test to indicate that the process of endogenous puberty is underway and is likely to proceed to completion.

Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne parasitic infection induced by protozoa of the genus The disease spectrum ranges from skin lesions to visceral leishmaniasis, which is fatal if untreated. The cutaneous leishmaniasis is characterized by a clinical polymorphism of lesions with a broad range of severity ranging from a self-limited lesion to multiple disfiguring lesions stigmatizing the patient for life. Although iron is required for several process of infection including survival, growth and virulence, the number of studies on host iron metabolism during this infection remains limited.

Human CMV, regularly reactivated by simple triggers, results in asymptomatic viral shedding, powerful cellular immune responses, and memory inflation. Immunocompetent individuals benefit from a robust immune response, which aids in viral management without causing clinically significant illness; however, immunodeficient individuals are always at a higher risk of CMV reactivation and disease. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients are consistently at higher risk of CMV reactivation and clinically significant CMV illness due to primary disease, immunosuppression, and graft vs.

Article Synopsis
- * This study examines 15 biopsies from patients aged 28-36 to investigate the histological features and protein expression in inactive UCH using light microscopy and immunofluorescence.
- * Findings suggest that even in inactive UCH, there is moderate biological activity, indicating a potential for reactivation and that the condition may not be completely self-limiting, despite the absence of detectable cartilage islands.
Recurrent Nodular Fasciitis of the Oral Mucosa: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Among all benign and reactive mesenchymal lesions, nodular fasciitis is most frequently misdiagnosed as a sarcoma due to its concerning clinical and histopathological features: it arises on fascial surfaces, grows rapidly, and may infiltrate into adjacent tissues and blood vessels. The most commonly involved sites include upper extremities, trunk, head, and neck, with rare occurrences in the oral cavity. Recurrences following both incomplete and complete excision are rare, and its natural history progresses through self-limited growth followed by spontaneous regression.
