Toward Noninvasively Imaging pH at the Surface of Implanted Orthopedic Devices in Live Rabbits Using X‐ray Excited Luminescence Chemical Imaging

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Imaging pH in a live rabbit at the surface of a sensor‐coated titanium plate using X‐ray excited luminescent chemical imaging (XELCI). A raster scanning X‐ray beam generates radioluminescence from a spot on the sensor, and the luminescence passes through the tissue and is collected at two wavelengths to determine local pH.

Violence in the accident and emergency department [PDF]

Accident and Emergency Nursing, 1992
A survey of Accident and Emergency nurses was undertaken to study the prevalence, types and possible precipitating factors of violence in the workplace. Violence was sub-divided into physical and verbal. Verbal violence was more common than physical assault but often not reported.

An Ultrapotent, Ultraeconomical, Antifreeze Polypeptide

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Simple and inexpensive polypeptides composed of random copolymers of alanine and glutamic acid are effective antifreezes for applications in foods and biomedicine. The polypeptides, inspired by natural extremophile proteins, inhibit the growth of large ice crystals and prevent damage to sensitive biologics.

Nitrogen‐Doped Amorphous Carbon Film for Enhanced Cu2+ Electrochemical Sensing in Marine Environments

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Large‐area N‐doped amorphous carbon films are synthesized at room temperature via hybrid linear ion source technique. Nitrogen doping promotes the formation of sp2−C and C‐N bonds, thus enhancing the electrode's sensitivity. These electrodes achieve ultra‐low Cu2+ detection (8 × 10−3 mM) in 3.5 wt% NaCl and exhibit excellent stability/repeatability for
