    Abstract The effect of doping concentration on the temperature performance of the novel split-well resonant-phonon (SWRP) terahertz quantum-cascade laser (THz QCL) scheme supporting a clean 4-level system design was analyzed using non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) calculations. Experimental research showed that increasing the doping concentration in these designs led to better results compared to the split-well direct-phonon (SWDP) design, which has a larger overlap between its active laser states and the doping profile. However, further improvement in the temperature performance was expected, which led us to assume there was an increased gain and line broadening when increasing the doping concentration despite the reduced overlap between the doped region and the active laser states. Through simulations based on NEGF calculations we were able to study the contribution of the different scattering mechanisms on the performance of these devices. We concluded that the main mechanism affecting the lasers' temperature performance is electron-electron (e-e) scattering, which largely contributes to gain and line broadening. Interestingly, this scattering mechanism is independent of the doping location, making efforts to reduce overlap between the doped region and the active laser states less effective. Optimization of the e-e scattering thus could be reached only by fine tuning of the doping density in the devices. By uncovering the subtle relationship between doping density and e-e scattering strength, our study not only provides a comprehensive understanding of the underlying physics but also offers a strategic pathway for overcoming current limitations. This work is significant not only for its implications on specific devices but also for its potential to drive advancements in the entire THz QCL field, demonstrating the crucial role of e-e scattering in limiting temperature performance and providing essential knowledge for pushing THz QCLs to new temperature heights.

    Abstract Patients with severe iron deficiency, malabsorption or intolerance to oral iron are frequently treated with intravenous iron replacement. We report the case of a 42-year-old woman with non-erosive oligoarticular arthritis with antiparietal cell antibodies and iron deficiency anemia secondary to menorrhagia and unresponsive to oral iron preparations. She was treated with an intravenous infusion of ferric gluconate. After the first infusion of 125 mg (in 250 mL saline), she developed transient pain in her knee and wrist joints. When the dose was subsequently halved, the patient showed no adverse symptoms in the next four infusions and had normalized hemoglobin levels and iron indices. However, after a subsequent 125 mg ferric gluconate infusion she developed severe leg pain, muscular and joint stiffness, and functional impairment of her hands, right foot, and ankle. Laboratory tests showed a progressive increase in creatine kinase, transaminase, and C-reactive protein that normalized several days after the infusion. Although rhabdomyolysis is not reported among endovenous iron-induced adverse events, our findings suggest that intravenous iron infusions might have increased free iron generation promoting oxidative joint and muscular injury, which would explain the joint pain and stiffness, and rhabdomyolysis. Greater attention should be paid to the more frequent cases of myalgia occurring after iron infusion, which may underlie a rhabdomyolytic event requiring clinical observation.
    Learning points: Rhabdomyolysis can occur not only after intramuscular injection of iron dextran but also after infusion of ferric gluconate.The generation of increased free iron following iron administration can promote oxidative joint and muscular injury.Leg cramps and myalgia, which are relatively common adverse events after iron infusions, might represent undiagnosed events of mild to moderate rhabdomyolysis requiring further investigation.

    Abstract This study deals with the development of novel poly(lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) nanoparticles (PLA-PEG NPs) for the efficient and prolonged delivery of Linezolid (LNZ), a synthetic antibacterial agent used against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). A two-step synthetic strategy based on carbodiimide coupling and copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition was first exploited for the conjugation of PLA with PEG. The encapsulation of LNZ into medium-molecular-weight PLA-PEG NPs was carried out by different methods including nanoprecipitation and dialysis. The optimal PLA-PEG@LNZ nanoformulation resulted in 3.5% LNZ payload (15% encapsulation efficiency, with a 10:3 polymer to drug mass ratio) and sustained release kinetics with 65% of entrapped antibiotic released within 80 h. Moreover, the zeta potential values (from -31 to -39 mV) indicated a good stability without agglomeration even after freeze-drying and lyophilization. The PLA-PEG@LNZ NPs exerted antimicrobial activity against a panel of Gram-positive bacteria responsible for human infections, such as Staphylococcus aureus including MRSA, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus lugdunensis and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm). Moreover, PLA-PEG@LNZ NPs showed inhibitory activity on both planktonic growth and preformed biofilm of MRSA. The antibacterial activity of LNZ incorporated in polymeric NPs was well preserved and the nanosystem served as an antibiotic enhancer with a potential role in MRSA-associated infections management.
