Solution-mediated phase transformation (SMPT) has been used as a focused technique to rapidly identify the stable polymorph of a given substance. Despite ample precedence for acetonitrile being a good solvent for SMPT of sulfamerazine (SMZ), samples from specific lots of SMZ failed to convert from Form I to Form II after suspension for 2 weeks in acetonitrile. In these lots, an acetyl derivative of SMZ was identified and shown to impede transformation to the stable polymorph. The inhibitory effect of this impurity on polymorphic conversion was overcome with practical adjustments to experimental procedure, which hastened the kinetics of SMPT. The critical factors considered were (1) modifying the solvent to increase solubility, (2) minimizing the level of impurity in the slurries, (3) pre-treatment of the solid to quickly reach maximum supersaturation, and (4) temperatures that optimized kinetics as well as the free energy difference between enantiotropically related polymorphs.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are major contributors to morbidity and mortality, highlighting the need to better understand their molecular mechanisms to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This study investigated differential gene expression profiles and key biological processes in COPD exacerbations categorized based on sputum microbiome profiling. An observational study was performed on a cohort of 16 COPD patients, who provided blood and sputum samples during exacerbations, along with five stable-state samples as controls.

Necrotizing wound infections are potentially lethal complications of surgeries, including cesarean deliveries. A 32-year-old female with obesity and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) underwent uncomplicated cesarean section. Four days later, she developed abdominal pain and imaging showed ascites; she was treated with antibiotics.

Background: With recent advances in clinical practice, including the use of reduced-toxicity conditioning regimens and innovative approaches such as ex vivo TCRαβ/CD19 depletion of haploidentical donor stem cells or post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY), hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has emerged as a curative treatment option for a growing population of patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI). However, despite these promising developments, graft failure (GF) remains a significant concern associated with HSCT in these patients. Although a second HSCT is the only established salvage therapy for patients who experience GF, there are no uniform, standardized strategies for performing these second transplants.

HfO/ZrO-based ferroelectrics present tremendous potential for next-generation non-volatile memory due to their high scalability and compatibility with silicon technology. Unlike the continuous polar layers in perovskite ferroelectrics, HfO/ZrO-based ferroelectrics are composed of alternating polar layers with oxygen shifts and non-polar spacers, which leads to a distinct ferroelectric switching mechanism. However, directly observing the switching process has been a big challenge due to the polymorph feature of nanoscale fluorites and the difficulty in in situ imaging on light elements.
