In this work, we explored the potential of the spot test combined with image analysis using smartphones as a rapid, simple, low-cost, and environmentally friendly method for identifying methadone concentration. Herein, a carbon-gold nanocomposite has been used to generate color variation at different concentrations of methadone. The data obtained from the digital image colorimetric method was compared with those from the UV-Vis spectroscopy as a standard technique.

Engine oil is a valuable source of information on the technical condition of the drive unit. Under the influence of many factors, including operating conditions, time, high temperature, and various types of contamination, the oil gradually degrades, which can result in serious engine damage. The subject of the article focuses on an attempt to answer the questions of how engine failure affects the degradation of engine oil and whether we can use this knowledge to detect potential problems in public transport vehicles at an early stage.

Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder with a broad clinical spectrum. Early diagnosis and initiation of treatment are crucial for improving outcomes, yet the disease often goes undiagnosed due to its rarity and phenotypic heterogeneity. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and disease incidence of newborn screening (NBS) for ASMD in Italy.

Biosensors operating in the terahertz (THz) region are gaining substantial interest in biomedical analysis due to their significant potential for high-sensitivity trace-amount solution detection. However, progress in compact, high-sensitivity chips and methods for simple, rapid and trace-level measurements is limited by the spatial resolution of THz waves and their strong absorption in polar solvents. In this work, a compact nonlinear optical crystal (NLOC)-based reflective THz biosensor with a few arrays of asymmetrical meta-atoms was developed.

Introduction: Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase II (CPT II) deficiency encompasses a spectrum of disorders, with the lethal neonatal form (LNF) representing the rarest and most severe. While there are numerous gene variants that can cause CPT II deficiency, only 16 variants of these are known to be associated with LNF. This report presents the case of a neonatal male diagnosed with lethal CPT II deficiency, characterized by the presence of two heterogeneous variants.
