Broad background in electron diffraction of 2D materials as a signature of their superior quality
No full textAn unusually broad bell-shaped component (BSC) has been previously observed in surface electron diffraction on different types of 2D systems. It was suggested to be an indicator of uniformity of epitaxial graphene (Gr) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). In the current study we use low-energy electron microscopy and micro-diffraction to directly relate the BSC to the crystal quality of the diffracting 2D material. Specially designed lateral heterostructures were used to map the spatial evolution of the diffraction profile across different 2D materials, namely pure hBN, BCN alloy and pure Gr, where the alloy region exhibits deteriorated structural coherency. The presented results show that the BSC intensity has a minimum in the alloyed region, consequently showing that BSC is sensitive to the lateral domain size and homogeneity of the material under examination. This is further confirmed by the presence of a larger number of sharp moiré spots when the BSC is most pronounced in the pure hBN and Gr regions. Consequently, it is proposed that the BSC can be used as a diagnostic tool for determining the quality of the 2D materials.This article is published as Petrović, Marin, Frank J.

Rivelazionein situdi mRNA di SERV (Sheep Endogenous Retrovirus) su tessuti di feto ovino: risultati preliminari
No full textUna delle caratteristiche più dibattute dell’adenomatosi polmonare è costituita dalla sua presunta incapacità di indurre fenomeni immunitari e, in particolare, di stimolare la produzione di anticorpi circolanti. Tale fenomeno sarebbe dovuto all’interferenza immunologia fra l’agente causale, Jaagsiekte Retro-Virus (JSRV) con particolari sostanze endogene denominate, per analogia, Sheep Endogenous Retrovirus (SERV).
Appare comunque chiara, al di là dell’insorgenza di meccanismi immunodepressivi, l’importanza di un’eventuale capacità trascrittiva di SERV durante la vita intrauterina: la sintesi di proteine JSRV-like potrebbe infatti interagire negativamente con la produzione di risposte immunitarie nei confronti dell’agente eziologico dell’adenoma polmonare.
Con l’obiettivo di chiarire questo particolare aspetto, abbiamo messo a punto una tecnica di ibridazione in situ atta a rivelare l’RNA di SERV su tessuti di feto e di placenta ovina
Transvenous or subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator: a review to aid decision-making.
No full textThe implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is a proven treatment for preventing sudden cardiac death. Transvenous leads are associated with significant mortality and morbidity, and the subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) addresses this. However, it is not without limitations, in particular the absence of anti-tachycardia pacing. The decision of which device is most suitable for an individual patient is often complex. Here, we review the relative merits and weaknesses of both the transvenous and S-ICD. We summarise the available evidence for each device in particular patient cohorts, namely: ischaemic and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
