Purpose: To assess differences in efficacy and safety between Thulium:YAG laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP) and enucleation performed with the Holmium:YAG Cyber Ho laser generator (HoLEP) with Magneto technology (Quanta System®).
Methods: Patients with surgical indication for benign prostatic hyperplasia underwent ThuLEP using Cyber TM generator (Group A) versus HoLEP using Cyber Ho generator with Magneto technology (Group B). In Group A settings were 100W for enucleation and 35W for coagulation. In Group B early apical detachment and coagulation were performed with energy 1 J and frequency 30 Hz by applying Magneto technology. Enucleation was performed with energy 2 J and frequency 40 Hz by applying Virtual Basket pulse modulation.
Results: 200 patients were enrolled (100 patients per group). Preoperative features were comparable. Mean prostate size was 78.9 vs. 80.5 ml in Group A vs. B (p = 0.09). Mean operative time was 70.6 vs. 64.3 min (p = 0.13) with mean enucleation time 48.8 vs. 43.7 min (p = 0.21) and morcellation time 21.2 vs. 14.6 min (p = 0.03) in ThuLEP vs. HoLEP group. Micturition improvements were comparable. Postoperative gross haematuria was significantly more frequent after ThuLEP and clots-induced urinary retention occurred in 5.0% of cases, compared to no cases after HoLEP (p = 0.02).
Conclusions: HoLEP using the Cyber Ho generator with the application of Magneto technology for coagulation seems to provide an haemostatic advantage compared to ThuLEP, suggested by the significantly shorter morcellation time, higher morcellation efficiency and lower rate of postoperative gross haematuria and clots-induced urinary retention. Functional outcomes are comparable.

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have emerged as powerful tools in nanomedicine owing to their heavy-metal-free composition, distinct magnetic properties, biocompatibility, and customizable surface chemistry. While traditionally employed as T-weighted MRI contrast agents, recent innovations have enabled the development of ultra-small SPIONs-such as exceedingly small SPIONs (ES-SPIONs) and single-nanometer iron oxide nanoparticles (SNIOs)-that offer T-weighted MRI capabilities, which are favored by radiologists for their superior anatomical clarity. This review highlights the synthesis of monodisperse SPIONs via thermal decomposition and controlled oxidation, as well as their functionalization with zwitterionic dopamine sulfonate (ZDS) ligands, which confer colloidal stability, minimal protein adsorption, and efficient renal clearance.

We investigate the quasiparticles of a single nodal ring semimetal SrAs_{3} through axis-resolved magneto-optical measurements. We observe three types of Landau levels scaling as ϵ∼sqrt[B], ϵ∼B^{2/3}, and ϵ∼B that correspond to Dirac, semi-Dirac, and classical fermions, respectively. Through theoretical analysis, we identify the distinct origins of these three types of fermions present within the nodal ring.

The lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) offers significant kinetic advantages over the adsorbed oxygen mechanism. Anion intercalation induces the LOM in NiOOH by enhancing the covalency of lattice oxygen through the modulation of the metal-oxygen electronic state. The relationships between doping mechanisms, such as the size and valence state of anions and the kinetics of the OER, have been clarified.

Neutral iron(III) and iron(II) complexes based on the pyruvic acid thiosemicarbazone (Hthpy) ligand [Fe(Hthpy)(thpy)] (1) and [Fe(Hthpy)] (2) were synthesized, and deeper insights into magneto-structural correlation were gained by FT-IR spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray crystallography, dc magnetic characterization, Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, and DFT calculations. The X-ray structures of complex 1 were established for the HS ( = 5/2) state at 295 K and the LS ( = 1/2) state at 150 K. The crystal packing of 1 at these temperatures corresponds to the triclinic 1̄ symmetry and contains pairs of [Fe(Hthpy)(thpy)] complexes interconnected by a shortened S⋯S contact.
