Article Abstract

The differential XAFS technique holds promise for detecting surface changes, which benefits many chemical applications. Phase-sensitive detection (PSD) analysis based on modulated excitation spectroscopy experiments is expected to obtain a high-quality difference spectrum, while the mathematical relationship and experiment parameters remain to be discussed. In this article, an approach to obtaining the difference spectrum from the PSD demodulated spectrum is described and its applicability in different experiment settings is discussed. The results indicate that the demodulated spectrum is almost equal to the difference spectrum when the modulating period is 20 times larger than the relaxation time constant. This approach was subsequently applied to an electrochemical modulation experiment and the demodulated spectrum was analyzed. A reversible lattice shrinking is observed via the fitting of demodulated spectra, which is proportional to the charge amount on the electrode. This approach could be used to quantitatively analyze the modulated excitation XAS data and holds promise for a wide range of electrochemical studies.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common hematologic malignancy in children. Current clinical diagnosis primarily relies on invasive detection methods, while molecular subtyping remains a complex and time-consuming process. This study innovatively employed silver nanoparticle-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology to systematically analyze 116 serum samples, including those with breakpoint cluster region-Abelson (-) fusion genotype, mixed-lineage leukemia (, also known as lysine methyltransferase 2A, ) gene rearrangement subtype, T-lymphoblastic ALL, and healthy controls.

Significance: The spatial and temporal distribution of fluorophore fractions in biological and environmental systems contains valuable information about the interactions and dynamics of these systems. To access this information, fluorophore fractions are commonly determined by means of their fluorescence emission spectrum (ES) or lifetime (LT). Combining both dimensions in temporal-spectral multiplexed data enables more accurate fraction determination while requiring advanced and fast analysis methods to handle the increased data complexity and size.

infection and antibiotic prescribing at a regional hospital in Australia: a case-control study.

Antimicrob Steward Healthc Epidemiol

September 2025

National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia.

Background: infections (CDI) increased at a large, regional hospital in New South Wales, Australia, in 2021, coinciding with an increase at hospitals Australia wide. We aimed to investigate the association between antibiotic prescribing practices and hospital-acquired CDI at the hospital to inform antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective case-control study for the period July 1, 2018, and June 30, 2022.

Introduction: Tenvermectin (TVM) is a novel avermectin-class drug that has attracted attention for its superior antiparasitic potency, low toxicity, and broad-spectrum activity. However, uncertainty about its interaction with cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) has raised concerns about potential therapeutic failure, increased risk of toxicity, dangerous drug combinations, and prolonged discontinuation periods.

Method: To address these critical safety concerns, we conducted a systematic comparative study using a highly selective and quantitatively accurate substrate conversion assay to assess and compare the effects of TVM and ivermectin (IVM) on the activities of key CYPs (CYP1A1/2, 2B1, 2C6, 2D2, and 3A1/2).
