The ability to correlate industrial high-pressure catalysis with high-vacuum research has been of great interest for decades. We employed a double-chamber vacuum system to study the self-hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene and its trimerization to benzene at medium pressures to compare the reactivity in this pressure range to the known model…[Read more]

Therefore, minimally invasive surgery could be performed successfully with mini-laparotomy following laparoscopic observation. Laparoscopic techniques for the small intestine are viable options, even in acute and uncommon situations, and small bowel perforation secondary to metastasis should be considered in patients with undifferentiated…[Read more]

Symmetrically substituted poly(diphenylacetylene) (PDPA) bearing carboxy pendants was found to fold into a one-handed helix upon thermal annealing with nonracemic amines in water accompanied by chiral amplification of the helicity. The induced right- or left-handed helical PDPA was retained (memorized) after complete removal of the chiral amines,…[Read more]

OBJECTIVE To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive study using a nationally representative database to estimate the frequency of critical procedures (endotracheal tube intubation [ETI], cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR], and central line insertion [CLI]) in children and adults. METHODS The study was based on the secondary analysis of…[Read more]

The main aim of this work was to characterize the microbial community structure and resistance gene (CzcA) shifts in up-flow constructed wetlands-microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) treating Zn (II) contaminated wastewater. Two CW-MFC devices were operated, i.e. the experimental group (EG) treating Zn (II) wastewater, and the control group (CG) treating…[Read more]

Diabetes mellitus (DM) can cause systemic metabolic disorders, but the impact of gender on DM-related metabolic changes is rarely reported. Herein, we analyzed metabolic alterations in the heart, liver, and kidney of male and female mice from normal to diabetes via a 1H NMR-based metabolomics method and aimed to investigate sex-specific metabolic…[Read more]

low for the selection of patients who are candidates for outpatient treatment.

Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are life-threatening surgical emergencies associated with high morbidity and mortality. Fungal NSTIs are considered rare and have been largely understudied. The purpose of this study was to study the impact of fungal NSTIs…[Read more]

Background Annual rankings by US News and World Report are a widely utilized metric by both health care leaders and patients. One longstanding measure is time to treatment of femur shaft fractures. Hospitals able to provide at least 80% of pediatric patients with an operating room start time within 18 hours of admission to the emergency department…[Read more]
