Medication errors are the leading cause of preventable patient harm. Globally, about 5% of patients are affected by medication-related harm, with 25% of these harms being life-threatening. Often, these errors are caused by orthographic or phonetic properties of medications. Look-alike, sound-alike errors are further aggravated by the availability of both foreign and local drugs sharing...
Ice algae inhabiting glacier surfaces are key primary producers that influence surface albedo and are integral for glacial microbial community structures. Ice surface species such as Ancylonema nordenskiöldii are central to carbon cycling in the supraglacial environment, yet their metabolic potential and ecological roles have not been fully characterised. Experiments using metabolic...
Particulate matter (PM) is widely recognized as a threat to public health and a key driving force of climate change. The chemical composition significantly influences the properties of the particles, especially their interactions with solar radiation and their role in inducing adverse health effects. Atmospheric aging modifies aerosol composition, forming new compounds and increasing...
The Waters Xevo MRT Mass Spectrometer marks a breakthrough in high-resolution mass spectrometry, integrating multi-reflecting time-of-flight (MRT) technology into a benchtop QTof system. It achieves up to 100,000 FWHM resolution at 100 Hz acquisition rates, while maintaining sub-ppm mass accuracy—independent of scan speed or acquisition mode. Unlike FTMS systems, where resolution typically...
PFASs are a diverse group of major emerging contaminants, with more than 7800 compounds identified to date. All of them possess at least one carbon atom, on which all the H substituents were replaced with F atoms. Due to the exceptional stability of the C-F bond, they are widely used as surfactants and stain repellents, in firefighting foams, cosmetics and surface coatings. The stability of...
