AI Article Synopsis

  • A gold nanopore is created at the tip of a glass nanopipette, enhancing its ability to perform surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).
  • When polystyrene (PS) nanospheres pass through this nanopore, they can be identified using the SERS spectrum.
  • This technique shows promise for sensing and analyzing materials on a very small scale.

Article Abstract

A single gold nanopore with high surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) activity is fabricated on the tip of a glass nanopipette. Polystyrene (PS) nanospheres can be recognized from the SERS spectrum while passing through the single nanopore.

Energy-level rich nanorings hybridizing Ag, Au and AgCl as high-performance SERS substrate for numerous molecules.

The current surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates typically feature a single energy level, posing challenges in coordinating electromagnetic enhancement (EM) and chemical enhancement (CM), thereby limiting the sensitive detection of numerous crucial target molecules. In this study, novel aggregated nanorings (a-NRs) hybridizing Ag, Au and AgCl are constructed as SERS substrates. On one hand, the obtained a-NRs exhibit robust localized surface plasmon resonance absorption, whose wavelength can be tuned to match three commonly used laser wavelengths (532, 633 and 785 nm) to gain strong EM effect.

Objectives: While lumbar puncture (LP) remains gold standard for assessing intracranial pressure (ICP), LP can be difficult to perform and lead to complications. Noninvasive correlations for elevated ICP via ocular ultrasound (OUS) have shown mixed results. The primary objective of this study is to identify the frequency and test characteristics of the crescent sign on OUS for elevated ICP.

  • The study aimed to determine effective cutoff scores for the Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease questionnaire (PsAID12) based on disease activity measures in patients with PsA.
  • Using data from the ReFlaP study, researchers analyzed scores to define disease states such as remission and varying impact levels, employing statistical methods to establish these cutoffs.
  • Results indicated that the PsAID12 score had high diagnostic performance against established benchmarks, but further validation and expert consensus are needed to confirm the proposed cutoffs for clinical use.

Breast cancer is the most frequent non-dermatologic malignancy in women. Breast cancer is characterized by the expression of the human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2), and the presence or lack of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) expression. HER2 overexpression is reported in about 20 to 25% of breast cancer patients, which is usually linked to cancer progression, metastases, and poor survival.
