The paper reports the occurrence of myocardial infarctions in a patient with severe deficiency of blood coagulation factor XII (Hageman factor). Factor XII plays a central role in the intrinsic activation of fibrinolysis and consequently the defective intrinsic fibrinolytic activity detected in the present case casts some doubt on its role in the increased vulnerability to thrombotic accident.

Enhanced high-energy proton radiation hardness of ZnO thin-film transistors with a passivation layer.

Nano Converg

January 2025

Advanced Radiation Technology Institute, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, 29 Geumgu-gil, Jeongeup-si, Jeolabuk-do, 56212, Republic of Korea.

Metal-oxide thin-film semiconductors have been highlighted as next-generation space semiconductors owing to their excellent radiation hardness based on their dimensional advantages of very low thickness and insensitivity to crystal structure. However, thin-film transistors (TFTs) do not exhibit intrinsic radiation hardness owing to the chemical reactions at the interface exposed to ambient air. In this study, significantly enhanced radiation hardness of AlO-passivated ZnO TFTs against high-energy protons with energies of up to 100 MeV is obtained owing to the passivation layer blocking interactions with external reactants, thereby maintaining the chemical stability of the thin-film semiconductor.

Background: Lysinuric protein intolerance is a rare autosomal disorder caused by mutations in the Slc7a7 gene that lead to impaired transport of neutral and basic amino acids. The gold standard treatment for lysinuric protein intolerance involves a low-protein diet and citrulline supplementation. While this approach partially improves cationic amino acid plasma levels and alleviates some symptoms, long-term treatment is suggested to be detrimental and may lead to life-threatening complications characterized by a wide range of hematological and immunological abnormalities.

Sporadic and Recurrent Exertional Rhabdomyolysis.

Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract

January 2025

Michigan State University, Large Animal Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, East Lansing, MI, USA. Electronic address:

Horses are particularly susceptible to developing exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER) characterized by muscle stiffness, pain, and reluctance to move. Diagnosis requires establishing abnormal increases in serum creatine kinase activity when horses exhibit clinical signs. The 2 main categories of ER include sporadic ER arising from extrinsic causes and chronic ER that arises from intrinsic continuous or episodic abnormalities in muscle function.

Zirconium-doped iron oxide nanoparticles for enhanced peroxidase-like activity.

Talanta

January 2025

College of Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Engineering, Huanghuai University, Zhumadian 463000, PR China. Electronic address:

FeO nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as pioneering nanozymes with applications in clinical diagnosis, environmental protection and biosensing. However, it is currently limited by insufficient catalytic activity due to poor electron transfer. In this study, we synthesized electron-rich-Zr-doped defect-rich FeO NPs (ZrFeO) using a one-pot solvothermal method.
