Manipulating the local coordination environment of central metal atoms in single-atom catalysts (SACs) is a powerful strategy to exploit efficient SACs with optimal electronic structures for various applications. Herein, Co-SACs featured by Co single coordinating S second shell dispersed nitrogen-doped carbon matrix have been developed toward selective hydrogenation halo-nitrobenzene. The location atom model Co-SAC verified through synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy and...
Cardiotoxicity, manifest by reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), is the most common reason for premature discontinuation of trastuzumab. While permissive cardiotoxicity (where mild accepted to enable ongoing trastuzumab) has been shown feasible, longer-term outcomes are unknown. We aimed study intermediate-term clinical patients who underwent cardiotoxicity.We performed a retrospective cohort referred cardio-oncology service at McMaster University from 2016 2021 LV dysfunction...
Chemoselective hydrogenation of carbonyl in unsaturated aldehydes is a significant process the chemical industry, which development aqueous-phase reaction systems as substitution to organic ones challenging. Herein, we report Ir atomic cluster catalysts anchored onto WO3–x nanorods via reduction treatment at various temperatures (denoted Ir/WOx-T, T = 200, 300, 400, and 500 °C), accelerates chemoselective groups aqueous solutions. The optimal catalyst Ir/WOx-300 exhibits exceptional activity...
Abstract The nanoparticle density (PD) of the substrates is crucial for surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performance. Here, bottom‐up SERS based on rough gold nanorods (R‐Au NRs) with different PD are fabricated and their property investigated. In particular, R‐Au NRs deposited Si wafer from sparse to dense through electrostatic interaction monolayer multiple layers by interface self‐assembly technique. It found that intensity increases dramatically increasing remains almost...
Magnesium is a biocompatible and biodegradable metal, which has attracted much interest in biomedical engineering. Pure magnesium shows the low strength plasticity at ambient temperature. Microstructure, mechanical properties degradation of equal channel angular pressed pure have been investigated for application detail by optical microscopes, testing corrosion testing. The results revealed that processing temperature routes are important factors affect Mg pressing. two-step pressing (one...
Abstract Background Both genetic factors and air pollution are risk for coronary artery disease (CAD), but their combined effects on CAD uncertain. The study aimed to comprehensively investigate separate, interaction the onset of CAD. Methods We utilized data from UK Biobank with a recruitment 487,507 participants who were free at baseline 2006 2010. explored effect or association among factors, polygenic score (PRS) Cox proportional hazard models. Results ratios (HRs) [95% confidence...
Surface modification is one approach to enhance the biocompatibility of implanted cardiovascular devices. In this work, a copper-containing film used blood contacted biomaterials was prepared by vacuum arc deposition. The phase composition films investigated via X-ray diffraction, and adherence strength evaluated with conventional deformation tests. Blood compatibility characterized hemolysis ratio, clotting time platelet adhesion etc. surface inferior vena cava filters were smooth uniform,...
Vascular stent implantation is a valid method to therapy cardiovascular diseases, the bio-reconstructive and endothelialization of vessel wall was simultaneously transmutation following interaction vascular tissue materials. In this work, Ti-O film modified prepared with magnetron sputtering method, surface in vivo investigated at 1st, 2nd, 3rd week respectively, response also evaluated via section analysis. The result indicated that there no thrombus formation or in-stenosis, had good blood...
Graphene is considered to be the core material for next Industrial Revolution. In this work, graphene oxide (GO) was prepared using a modified Hummers method and, then, reduced obtain graphene. NH–RGO and VC–RGO were obtained by reducing GO under same conditions hydrazine hydrate vitamin C, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra employed characterize its crystal structure. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) used observe microstructure. The defect degree determined Raman spectra....
A simple and mild protocol for the direct deoxygenative coupling aryl ketones with electron-rich (hetero)arenes to construct C(sp2)−C(sp3) bond was achieved, which mediated by TiCl4 using ammonia borane (AB) as reductant. Moreover, this strategy provides a novel synthesizing unsymmetrical diaryl- triarylmethanes.
Background: To support family physicians (FPs) in managing patients with heart failure (HF), the Ministry of Health Ontario, Canada, implemented Q050 billing code 2008, a pay-for-performance (P4P) incentive for guideline-based HF care. We studied whether was associated any change process-of-care measure, particularly prescriptions medications. Methods: identified all Ontario age>65, who were managed by FPs claiming between 2008 and 2021. counted number prescribed renin-angiotensin system...
The microstructure characteristic of the cold-rolled deformed nanocrystalline nickel metal is studied by transmission electron microscopy. results show that there are step structures nearby grain boundary (GB), and contrast stress field in front corresponds to shape. It indicated interaction between twins dislocations not a necessary condition realizing deformation. In later stage deformation when size becomes about 100 nm, can depend upon moving stack faults (SFs) which result from partial...

Terbinafine is an antimicrobial agent commonly prescribed for fungal infections. Its side effect profile generally benign, but there limited evidence that it has the potential to cause rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis a potentially life-threatening condition caused by profound muscle injury. It characteristic findings of pain, weakness, and dark urine. When recognized early, patients with rhabdomyolysis can be managed conservatively hydration watchful monitoring. However, if treatments are...
