Article Abstract
Aim: To investigate the effects of caffeine loading/maintenance administration on near-infrared spectroscopy cerebral, kidney and splanchnic patterns in preterm infants.
Methods: We conducted a multicentre case-control prospective study in 40 preterm infants (gestational age 29 ± 2 weeks) where each case acted as its own control. A caffeine loading dose of 20 mg/kg and a maintenance dose of 5 mg/kg after 24 h were administered intravenously. Near infrared spectroscopy monitoring parameters were monitored 30 min before, 30 min during and 180 min after caffeine therapy administration.
Results: A significant increase (p < 0.05) in splanchnic regional oxygenation and tissue function and a decrease (p < 0.05) in cerebral tissue function after loading dose was shown. A preferential hemodynamic redistribution from cerebral to splanchnic bloodstream was also observed. After caffeine maintenance dose regional oxygenation did not change in the monitored districts, while tissue function increased in kidney and splanchnic bloodstream.
Conclusion: Different caffeine administration modalities affect cerebral/systemic oxygenation status, tissue function and hemodynamic pattern in preterm infants. Future studies correlating near infrared spectroscopy parameters and caffeine therapy are needed to determine the short/long-term effect of caffeine in preterm infants.

Nonlinear Scaling of Water-Ion Interactions and Dynamics in Alkaline Solutions.

Water-ion interactions govern the physicochemical properties of aqueous solutions, impacting the structure of the hydrogen bonding network and ion diffusivities. To elucidate these effects under alkaline conditions relevant to diverse application spaces, we examined NaOD-DO solutions using two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D-IR), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Vibrational energy transfer between the donor anion SeCN, used as a 2D-IR probe, and the acceptor anion OD was used to track the average separation distance of ions in the DO solutions, while SAXS and NMR experiments measured the structure of the bulk DO solvent.

Kefir grains offer numerous health benefits, including boosting the immune system, alleviating digestive issues, and enhancing antimicrobial activity. They are rich in beneficial probiotic bacteria that promote gut health and support a balanced intestinal microbiota. "Beta-lactoglobulin (β-lg), a well-known milk protein," is used to create nanofibril structures that can serve as scaffolds.

A novel post-modification strategy was developed for rapid functionalization of monoliths through amino-yne click chemistry. This approach enabled the conjugation of activated alkynes onto amino-functionalized organic-silica hybrid monolith surfaces under mild, catalyst-free conditions. Systematic investigation of critical reaction parameters was conducted to optimize the post-modification process.

Changes in waxed dry cheese during the ripening process, over periods of 7 and 30 days, were analysed using near-infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIR) and mid-infrared spectroscopy (FT-MIR) by attenuated total reflection (ATR). FT-NIR was employed to determine the proximate composition of the cheese (protein, fat, moisture, total solids, and salt content), identifying changes directly associated with the ripening process. FT-MIR data were used to identify spectral bands associated with chemical changes occurring during the cheese maturation.

Objectives: Bortezomib (BTZ) functions as an androgen receptor signalling inhibitor, is used for the treatment of prostate cancer, and has been sanctioned by the United States Food and Drug Administration. The medicinal applications of BTZ are impeded by low solubility, first-pass metabolism, and restricted bioavailability. This study aimed to develop and enhance polylactic acid-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanobubbles (NBs) as a sustained-release mechanism for BTZ, thereby augmenting stability and bioavailability.
