Far‐field scattering of randomly deposited Au nanoparticles (NPs) is demonstrated as a physically unclonable optical function for anti‐counterfeit applications in which the patterns are easily produced yet impractical to replicate. Colloidal metal NPs superb components nanoscale labels owing their small dimensions and intense far‐field visible at wavelengths that depend on colloidal size, shape, composition, local environment. The feasibility NP depositions nanofingerprints presented using...

Background ER-Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (ER-REBOA) is an adjunct tool to achieve hemostasis in trauma patients with non-compressible torso hemorrhage. The development partial REBOA (pREBOA) allows for distal perfusion organs while maintaining occlusion aorta. primary aim this study was compare rates acute kidney injury (AKI) who had placement either a pREBOA or ER-REBOA. Methods A retrospective chart review adult underwent between September 2017 and February...

Stellated metal nanostructures are a class of plasmonic colloids in which large electric field enhancements can occur at their sharp tips, making them excellent candidates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and infrared (SE-IRS) platforms. Shape-dependent rules convex polyhedra such as cubes, nanorods, or octahedra exist, describe far-field scattering near-field enhancements. However, lacking concave counterparts, include stellated structures. Here, the optical response Au...

High refractive index sensitivity (RIS) of branched Au-Pd nanocrystals (NCs) is engineered through lowering the dielectric dispersion at NC resonant wavelength with internal or external atomic % Pd. To our knowledge, these NCs display highest ensemble RIS measurement for colloids LSPR maximum band positions ≤900 nm, and results are corroborated FDTD computations.

To report our experience with the combination of radical surgical excision and intestinal transplantation in patients recurrent pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) not amenable to further cytoreductive surgery (CRS).CRS heated intraoperative peritoneal chemotherapy are effective treatments for many PMP. In extensive small bowel involvement or nonresectable recurrence, disease progression results obstruction, nutritional failure, fistulation, resulting abdominal wall failure.Between 2013 2022, PMP...

Highly soluble ligand stabilized tin oxide nanocrystals have been prepared by the postsynthetic modification of hydrous with simple short-chain carboxylic acids, acetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid. The surface modified nanoparticles are in common organic solvents at concentrations up to 2 g/mL may be stored indefinitely solid-state no loss solubility. nature role carboxylate groups has assessed through a combination thermogravimetric analysis infrared spectroscopy. effect on sintering...

This study presents data on pre-trauma steroid use, a topic underrepresented in the trauma literature. Long-term use has been linked to impaired wound healing, compromised immune responses, and hindrance of bone alongside potential for adrenal insufficiency during traumatic events. The aim this was conduct retrospective analysis clinical outcomes patients with chronic use. Examining adult cases at level 1 center (January 2016-September 2023), we identified 18 (58.6 ± 19.4 years, 55.6%...

Previous research expected political parties in post-communist democracies to avoid the ‘time consuming and arduous’ process of building maintaining membership bases. By 2007, however, 5.2% Lithuanian public were members a party (Eurequal). This uses surveys interviews investigate functions two parties, Homeland Union–Lithuanian Christian Democrats Social Democratic Party. article explores elites’ incentives for developing their as organizations. Members valued offering ‘legitimacy benefits’...

Utilization of CT scans in the work-up trauma patients has led to increasing diagnosis traumatic pseudoaneurysms (PSAs). While rare, PSAs have devastating consequences if ruptured. Evidence for benefit early detection is lacking. The objective this case series was determine incidence solid organ after trauma. A retrospective chart review with AAST grade 3-5 injuries performed. 47 were identified PSAs. most common spleen. finding contrast blush or extravasation found 33 patients. 36 underwent...
