    Abstract This study focuses on the adsorption process of L-cysteine (Cys), a sulfur-containing amino acid, onto monolayers of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) prepared through distinct protocols on mica substrates. Two types of AuNPs were prepared using two different methods: the first employed a physical approach, which combined the Inert Gas Condensation (IGC) technique with the magnetron sputtering method, while the second utilized a chemical method involving the reduction of tetrachloroauric acid with trisodium citrate (TC). The characterization of AuNPs was performed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), of up to 5 ± 1.3 nm for bare AuNPs obtained through vacuum techniques, and up to 12 ± 5 nm for negatively charged, citrate-stabilized TCAuNPs(-). The application of spectroscopic techniques based on the surface-enhanced effects allows for describing the adsorption process in both micro- and nanoscale systems: Cys/bare AuNPs and Cys/ TCAuNPs(-). The commonly used surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technique provided insights into adsorption behaviours at the microscale level. In the case of TCAuNPs(-), an interaction involving the lone electron pair of sulfur (S) atom and metal surface, while on the bare AuNPs, S is adsorbed on the surface, but the cleavage of the SH group is not discernible. Nanoscale analysis was complemented using AFM combined with the surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (AFM-SEIRA) technique. AFM-SEIRA map indicated the formation of hot spot which were predominantly located between aggregated TCAuNPs(-) and on specific NPs surfaces (area between NPs and gold-coated tip). Results from the SERS and AFM-SEIRA techniques were in good agreement, underscoring the comprehensive understanding achieved through the chosen experimental approach regarding the Cys interactions with layers of AuNPs.

    Abstract Objective: This case series retrospectively reviewed the outcomes in patients implanted with combined, synchronous dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) connected to a single implantable pulse generator (IPG) in a tertiary referral neuromodulation centre in the United Kingdom.
    Methods: Twenty-six patients underwent a trial of DRGS+SCS for treating focal neuropathic pain between January 2016 and December 2019, with a follow-up in February 2022. A Transgrade approach was employed for DRGS. Patients were provided with 3 possible stimulation programs: DRGS-only, SCS-only, or DRGS+SCS. Patients were assessed for pain intensity, patients' global impression of change (PGIC), preferred lead(s) and complications.
    Results: Twenty patients were successful and went on for full implantation. The most common diagnosis was Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. After an average of 3.1 years follow-up, 1 patient was lost to follow-up, and 2 were non-responders. Of the remaining 17 patients, 16 (94%) continued to report a PGIC of 7. The average pain intensity at Baseline was 8.5 on an NRS scale of 0-10. At the last follow-up, the average NRS reduction overall was 78.9% with no statistical difference between those preferring DRGS+SCS (n = 9), SCS-only (n = 3) and DRGS-only (n = 5). The combination of DRGS+SCS was preferred by 53% at the last follow-up. There were no serious neurological complications.
    Conclusions: This retrospective case series demonstrates the potential effectiveness of combined DRGS+SCS with sustained analgesia observed at an average follow-up of over 3 years. Implanting combined DRGS+SCS may provide programming flexibility and therapeutic alternatives.

    Abstract Background and objectives: The induction of pneumoperitoneum (PP) during laparoscopy may cause hemodynamic alterations, especially in patients with unknown cardiovascular diseases. While invasive arterial monitoring could be considered excessive, continuous noninvasive arterial pressure (CNAP) monitoring may allow careful evaluation of hemodynamic variations during laparoscopy.
    Materials and methods: The objective of this single center observational study was to evaluate hemodynamic changes after insufflation and after deflation of PP with CNAP monitoring. Patients included where adults undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification II and III). The Hemodynamic data (blood-pressure, cardiac-index, heart-rate, stroke-volume index, stoke-volume variation and arterialelastance) were collected 30 seconds before pneumoperitoneum (t1), and compared to values at 2 (t2), 10 (t3) and 20 (t4) minutes after pneumoperitoneum insufflation. We also compared data 30 seconds before and 2 minutes after release of pneumoperitoneum.
    Results: 65 patients were included. Compared with reference values at t1, blood-pressure values increased at all timepoints (t2-t3-t4); cardiac-index augmented at t3 and t4 (p<0.05); heart-rate increased at t3 (p<0.005); stroke-volume index decreased at t2 (p<0.005) and was higher at t4 (p<0.005). While stoke-volume variation remained always stable after pneumoperitoneum induction, arterial-elastance increased significantly at all time-points (t2-t3-t4). The only difference at pneumoperitoneum deflation was a reduction in stoke-volume variation (p<0.05).
    Conclusions: In patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy, CNAP monitoring showed significant hemodynamic changes that would have been underappreciated with standard non-invasive monitoring with increase in arterial elastance under stable preload conditions. Whether this effect is due to unknown cardiovascular diseases facilitating ventriculo-arterial decoupling remains to be determined.

    Abstract Guar gum (GG) was investigated as a possible eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor for pure aluminium in a 1-M HCl solution at different temperatures and immersion times using gravimetric and electrochemical techniques. The results showed that GG was a good corrosion inhibitor for pure aluminium in the studied environment. The inhibition efficiency of GG increased with increasing inhibitor concentration and immersion time but decreased with increasing temperature. Polarisation measurements revealed that GG was a mixed type inhibitor with a higher influence on the cathodic reaction. The adsorption behaviour of the investigated inhibitor was found to obey the Temkin adsorption isotherm and the calculated values of the standard free adsorption energy indicate mixed-type adsorption, with the physical adsorption being more dominant. The associated activation energy (

    Abstract In patients where conservative approaches have failed to relieve from chronic pain, interventional procedures may be an option in well selected patients. In recent years there has been an increase in the use and development of invasive procedures. Concomitantly, there has also been an increase in the complications associated with these procedures. Taken this into consideration, it is important for healthcare providers to take a cautious and vigilant approach, with a focus on patient safety, in order to minimize the risk of adverse events and ensure the best possible outcome for the patient. This may include careful selection of patients for procedures, use of proper techniques and equipment, and close monitoring and follow-up after the procedure. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the primary complications associated with commonly performed image-guided (fluoroscopy or ultrasound-guided) interventional procedures and provide strategies to reduce the risk of these complications. We conclude that although complications from interventional pain procedures can be mitigated to a certain degree, they cannot be eliminated altogether. In order to avoid adverse events, patient safety should be given considerable attention and physicians should be constantly aware of the possibility of developing complications.
