Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and pregnancy complications and birth outcomes: A population-based cohort study in Denmark (open access)

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and pregnancy complications and birth outcomes: A population-based cohort study in Denmark

Article describes how alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is related to developing lung and liver disease, but no large-scale studies examine its association with birth outcomes. The authors investigated the risk of pregnancy complications and adverse birth outcomes in mothers and children with AATD.

Analysis of the Fe 2p XPS for hematite 𝛂 Fe2O3: Consequences of covalent bonding and orbital splittings on multiplet splittings (open access)

Analysis of the Fe 2p XPS for hematite 𝛂 Fe2O3: Consequences of covalent bonding and orbital splittings on multiplet splittings

Article analyzes the origins of the complex Fe 2p X-Ray Photoelectron Spectra (XPS) of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) and is related to the character of the bonding in this compound. This analysis provides a new and novel view of the reasons for XPS binding energies (BEs) and BE shifts, which deepens the current understanding and interpretation of the physical and chemical significance of the XPS. This article is part of the JCP Special Topic on Oxide Chemistry and Catalysis.
