Article Abstract
In this paper the results concerning the synthesis of magnetite (Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles (NPs), their functionalization using silane derivatives, such as (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS), and their exhaustive morphological and physical characterization by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) with energy dispersion X-ray spectrometer (EDX) analysis, AC magnetic susceptibility, UV-VIS and IR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric (TGA) analyses are reported. Two different paths were adopted to achieve the desired functionalization: (1) the direct reaction between the functionalized organo-silane molecule and the surface of the magnetite nanoparticle; and (2) the use of an intermediate silica coating. Finally, the occurrence of both the functionalization with amino and thiol groups has been demonstrated by the reaction with ninhydrin and the capture of Au NPs, respectively.

Kim's Lesion of the Shoulder: A Critical Analysis Review.

» Kim's lesion of the shoulder is characterized by incomplete tearing of the junction between the posteroinferior labrum and the glenoid, with the superficial labral tissue remaining intact, and generally requires arthroscopic evaluation for accurate confirmation.» Kim's lesion represents an under-reported subtype of posterior labral injury and a source of activity-related posterior shoulder discomfort and instability.» Kim's lesions are frequently observed in young, active individuals involved in overhead and contact sports, often resulting from traumatic mechanisms with the shoulder in flexion and adduction, as well as from repetitive microtrauma and overuse.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS), leading to a broad spectrum of physical and cognitive impairments. Myeloid cells within the CNS, including microglia and border-associated macrophages, play a central role in the neuroinflammatory processes associated with MS. Activation of these cells contributes to the local inflammatory response and promotes the recruitment of additional immune cells into the CNS.

Joint direct microscopy-calorimetry measurements of crystal growth were performed for a 60 nm amorphous Sb2S3 film deposited either on a Kapton foil or on a soda-lime glass. Calorimetric crystallization proceeded in two steps, originating either from mechanical and stress-induced defects (230-275 °C) or from homogeneously formed nuclei (255-310 °C); both processes exhibited an identical activation energy of 200 kJ mol-1. At temperatures <230 °C, a Sb2O3 crystalline phase formed along the rhombohedral Sb2S3 structure.
