Rheinberg.
Light microscopists have developed new techniques to enhance specimen contrast since the invention of the compound microscope in 1595. In 1828, the first polarizing light microscope was invented, serving as the basis for most modern research microscopes and associated contrast-enhancing accessories. Rheinberg illumination enhances contrast by reflecting, refracting, or diffracting light rays back through the specimen rather than directly transmitting light, producing colored "stains" on particles depending on the wavelength retardation caused by the chosen color filters. The greater the nm difference between filters, the higher the contrast.

Bm presentation
The Braggs were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1915 for determining crystal structures including NaCl, ZnS, and diamond using X-ray diffraction. Bragg's law describes the angle at which X-rays of a particular wavelength diffract from a crystalline surface as 2dsinθ=nλ, relating inter-plane distance (d), wavelength (λ), diffraction order (n), and scattering angle (θ). Powder X-ray diffraction works by scattering X-rays in a sphere around a sample containing many randomly oriented crystallites, producing a Debye diffraction cone at each Bragg angle.
Bragg's Law of Diffraction
1. The document discusses X-ray diffraction, which occurs when X-rays interact with the atomic planes of a crystal, causing interference patterns.
2. It introduces Bragg's law, which relates the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation to the diffraction pattern produced by a crystalline lattice, and is used to determine crystal structures.
3. Some applications of Bragg's law and X-ray diffraction are identifying unknown crystal structures, computed tomography, and the Braggs' discoveries about crystal structures like sodium chloride and diamond.
X ray spectroscopy
This document discusses X-ray diffraction (XRD), a technique used to determine the composition and crystalline structure of materials. It begins by explaining how X-rays are produced, then describes Bragg's law of diffraction which is fundamental to XRD. The three main XRD methods are outlined: Laue's method, rotating crystal method, and powder method. Finally, several applications of XRD are listed, including use in pharmaceutical, forensic, geological, microelectronics, and glass industries.
X ray
This document provides an overview of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques. It discusses the principles, methods, applications, advantages, and limitations of both XRD and XRF. XRD is described as a technique that uses X-ray scattering from crystalline materials to determine their atomic structure, while XRF involves bombarding a material with X-rays and analyzing the characteristic secondary X-rays emitted to determine its elemental composition. A variety of applications are outlined for each technique in fields such as materials science, geology, and chemistry.
Laue method
The Laue method is used to determine the orientation of large single crystals. There are two types of Laue methods - transmission and back reflection. In transmission, an x-ray film is placed behind the crystal. In back reflection, the film is between the x-ray source and crystal to record diffracted beams. The patterns are analyzed using Leonhardt or Greninger charts to determine the crystal structure.

SPR_Michelle.ppt
Surface plasmon resonance imaging is used to detect binding events between biological molecules on gold surfaces without labeling. SPR imaging works by exciting surface plasmons at a gold-liquid interface using p-polarized light. Changes in the local refractive index from molecule binding cause shifts in the resonance angle that can be detected using a CCD camera. In the presented experiment, SPR imaging was used to obtain real-time images showing the immobilization of thiol-modified DNA probes on a gold surface and their subsequent hybridization with complementary DNA sequences in liquid. SPR imaging provides label-free detection with high sensitivity and the ability to monitor binding kinetics in situ.

This document summarizes a study that used dynamic light scattering (DLS) to characterize gold nanorods and study their interactions with proteins. It found that DLS is a valuable tool for this purpose. Specifically, it observed that gold nanorods exhibit two size distribution peaks with DLS - one representing rotational diffusion and one representing actual size. When proteins adsorbed to nanorods, particle size increased and the rotational diffusion peak changed. It examined interactions between four nanorods and four proteins and found that protein adsorption depended strongly on nanorod aspect ratio and varied between proteins, with some causing aggregation and others forming a stable protein corona. This demonstrated DLS can provide complementary insights to other techniques for studying nanorod-protein interactions.surface plasma resonance

June 14, 2024Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

What are the different types of Dental implants.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
LOW BIRTH WEIGHT. PRETERM BABIES OR SMALL FOR DATES BABIES
low birth weight presentation. Low birth weight (LBW) infant is defined as the one whose birth weight is less than 2500g irrespective of their gestational age. Premature birth and low birth weight(LBW) is still a serious problem in newborn. Causing high morbidity and mortality rate worldwide. The nursing care provide to low birth weight babies is crucial in promoting their overall health and development. Through careful assessment, diagnosis,, planning, and evaluation plays a vital role in ensuring these vulnerable infants receive the specialize care they need. In India every third of the infant weight less than 2500g.
Birth period, socioeconomical status, nutritional and intrauterine environment are the factors influencing low birth weight
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Gold nanostars
- 2. • Creative Diagnostics offers a comprehensive list of functional and conjugated Nanostars. We provide Nanostars functionalized with active groups such as NHS, carboxyl, amine and hydroxyl. Conjugated nanostars with a variety of biological ligands are available for your unique requirements.
- 3. Advantages: • Comprehensive characterization including TEM, UV- Vis, DLS • Unique shape gold nanoparticles with spiky protrusion, which results in absorption of light in the far-red • High purity, high monodispersity with narrow size distribution
- 4. • Gold nanostars have unique optical properties compared to spherical gold nanoparticles of the same core diameter. The spiky uneven surface causes a red shift in the surface plasmon peak and a larger enhancement of the electromagnetic field at the tips of the gold nanostars spikes compared to that of spherical particles. Binding of ligands such as proteins to the gold nanostars surface also causes a larger shift in the surface plasmon resonance peak compared to standard spherical gold nanoparticles. This feature makes them ideal in the development of sensitive SPR- based detection assays.
