Article Abstract

Particularly-shaped silver nanostructures are successfully applied in many scientific fields, such as nanotechnology, catalysis, (nano)engineering, optoelectronics, and sensing. In recent years, the production of shape-controlled silver-based nanostructures and the knowledge around this topic has grown significantly. Hence, on the basis of the most recent results reported in the literature, a critical analysis around the driving forces behind the synthesis of such nanostructures are proposed herein, pointing out the important role of surface-regulating agents in driving crystalline growth by favoring (or opposing) development along specific directions. Additionally, growth mechanisms of the different morphologies considered here are discussed in depth, and critical points highlighted.

Obesity is closely linked to an increased incidence of several gynecological conditions and poses significant challenges to their surgical management. Among these, endometrial cancer stands out due to its high prevalence in patients with elevated body mass index, with nearly 60% of those requiring primary surgical treatment classified as obese or morbidly obese. The coexistence of multiple comorbidities in this population contributes to a heightened risk of perioperative and postoperative complications.

Network alignment (NA) is a computational methodology employed to compare biological networks across different species or conditions. By identifying conserved structures, functions, and interactions, NA provides invaluable insights into shared biological processes, evolutionary relationships, and system-level behaviors. This manuscript presents a comprehensive overview of NA methodologies, including the importance of preprocessing network data, selecting suitable input formats, and understanding diverse network types such as attributed, temporal, and multilayer networks.

The indications for tibial nailing are increasingly extending into periarticular regions, often under critical and challenging soft tissue conditions. Furthermore, due to the demographic development fractures of compromised osteoporotic bone must increasingly be surgically treated.Suprapatellar and parapatellar approaches have emerged as effective alternatives to the traditional infrapatellar approach, which simplify the operative technique of reduction and nail insertion, reduce the duration of intraoperative fluoroscopy time and yield improved reduction outcomes particularly in complex periarticular fractures.
