Published: July 2024

Precision spectroscopy of hyperfine splitting (HFS) is a crucial tool for investigating the structure of nuclei and testing quantum electrodynamics. However, accurate theoretical predictions are hindered by two-photon exchange (TPE) effects. We propose a novel formalism that accounts for nuclear excitations and recoil in TPE, providing a model-independent description of TPE effects on HFS in light ordinary and muonic atoms. Combining our formalism with pionless effective field theory at next-to-next-to-leading order, the predicted TPE effects on HFS are 41.7(4.4) kHz and 0.117(13) meV for the 1S state in deuterium and the 2S state in muonic deuterium. These results align within 1σ and 1.3σ from recent measurements and highlight the importance of nuclear structure effects on HFS and indicate the value of more precise measurements in future experiments.

Introduction: Total pelvic exenteration (TPE) for clinical T4b colorectal cancer (CRC) is associated with significant morbidity. Short (0-30 days)- and intermediate (31-90 days)-term temporal analysis of complication onset is not well described, yet needed, to better counsel patients considering TPE.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients with primary or recurrent clinical T4b pelvic CRC undergoing open TPE between 2014 and 2023 was conducted.

Introduction: Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is the most widely used artificial liver support system in liver failure patients.

Cases: We report five cases of viral hepatitis induced ALF 3 adult (case I, II, III) and two pediatric (case IV and V) patients not adequately responding to standard medical treatment (SMT). Case I and II were acute hepatitis B infections while case III was an antenatal case with acute hepatitis E.

3D printed reservoir-like vaginal rings for antibiotic delivery.

Int J Pharm

January 2025

Sezione di Tecnologia e Legislazione Farmaceutiche "Maria Edvige Sangalli", Dipartimento di Scienze Farmaceutiche, Università degli Studi di Milano, via Giuseppe Colombo 71, 20133, Milano, Italy.

Targeting the development of a 3D printed reservoir-like vaginal rings (VRs) intended to fulfill the needs of precision medicine, prototypes ensuring prolonged release of metronidazole (MTZ) were preliminary manufactured and tested. Indeed, this drug represents the first-line therapy against bacterial vaginosis, which would especially benefit from convenient as well as easy dose adjustment and from more than 48 h continuous release, thus avoiding barely tolerated and repeated administrations. Starting from a soft thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), hollow ring structures were successfully printed at 190 °C and then extemporaneously filled with drug-loaded, in-situ-crosslinking hydrogel formulations based on alginate (ALG).

Introduction: Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an idiopathic demyelinating disorder characterized mainly by optic neuritis and myelitis, causing gradual loss of vision and deterioration of neurological function. The underlying pathogenesis mainly involves antibodies against aquaporin 4. The effectiveness of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) has been shown by many studies across the globe but are only a few from India.
