Gas-phase synthesis of plasmonic nanoparticles with robust high bandgap shell materials: A study of Cu@CaF2 with AI supported transmission electron microscopy analysis

Cu@CaF2 plasmonic nanoparticle (NP) films are physically synthesized, and their morphology, and electronic and optical properties are thoroughly investigated. Cu NPs are generated using a gas aggregation source assisted by magnetron sputtering, while CaF2 coatings are deposited b...

Liver Transplantation Following Hepatocellular Carcinoma Rupture and Long-Term Immunotherapy: A Case Report

Abstract Aim To report a case of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated by tumor rupture, successfully downstaged with combined oncolytic immunotherapy (Pexa-Vec) and a PD-1 inhibitor (Nivolumab), ultimately enabling liver transplantation (LT). This report highlights...

From regulatory approval to clinical practice: real-world eligibility for anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies in an Italian dementia-care network

Background: European approval of lecanemab and donanemab has shifted anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies from trial evidence to health-system implementation. In Italy, reimbursement decisions are pending, and real-world estimates of treatment-ready eligibility under Italian approp...

Titanium Oxynitrideby TiO2 Nitridation:A Comparative Study of Film, Nanoparticle, and Metasurface NanostructureProperties

Abstract Titanium oxynitride (TiOxNy) is a unique plasmonic material bridging dielectric TiO2 and metallic TiN. In this study, the properties of TiOxNy films, film-derived metasurfaces, and colloidal nanoparticles, all synthesized by the temperature-controlled ammonia nitridation...

Long-Term Assessment of UHI and SUHI in Modena: Integrating Landsat Land Surface Temperature and Meteorological Observations

The urban heat island (UHI) refers to higher air temperatures (Tair) in urban areas than in surrounding rural environments, while the surface urban heat island (SUHI) describes analogous differences in land surface temperature (LST). This study presents a long-term assessment of...
