Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) immune responses and infection outcomes were evaluated in 2,686 patients with varying immune-suppressive disease states after administration of two Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. Overall, 255 2,204 (12%) failed to develop anti-spike antibodies, an additional 600 (27%) generating low levels (<380 AU ml −1 ). Vaccine failure rates highest ANCA-associated vasculitis on rituximab (21/29, 72%), hemodialysis...
SARS-COV-2 vaccines have been shown to be efficacious primarily in healthy volunteer populations and population level studies. Immune responses following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination are less well characterised potentially immune vulnerable patient groups, including those with immune-mediated inflammatory chronic diseases (inflammatory arthritis [IA] incorporating rheumatoid [RA] psoriatic [PsA]; ANCA-Associated Vasculitis [AAV]; bowel disease [IBD]); hepatic (HepD), end stage kidney requiring...
BackgroundThe humoral and T-cell responses to booster COVID-19 vaccine types in multidisease immunocompromised individuals who do not generate adequate antibody two doses, is fully understood. The OCTAVE DUO trial aimed determine the value of third vaccinations a wide range patients with primary secondary immunodeficiencies.MethodsOCTAVE-DUO was prospective, open-label, multicentre, randomised, controlled, phase 3 investigating are following dose BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273, NVX-CoV2373 for those...
Triscatecholate binding has been widely studied in the context of biological systems, supramolecular chemistry, and weak aggregate interactions. However, utilization triscatecholate motif for preparation metalloligands remains unexplored. Herein, we report synthesis, structural characterization, functional studies a ligand with an appended pyridyl residue as candidate such applications. Our findings reveal that selective formation cis‐triscatecholate‐based is influenced by electronic effects...
Phenolic resins, phenol−formaldehyde polymers previously thought to be nonbiodegradable, are produced at an annual rate of 2.2 million metric tons in the United States for many industrial and commercial applications. Three independent lines evidence established their biodegrad ability with white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chryso- sporium. Chromatic transformation growth medium (yellow pink) indicated initial biodegradation resin 3 days after inoculation. A degradation product, 13C -labeled...
This retrospective study explored the incidence of autoimmune cytopenia (AIC) in 530 paediatric and adult patients with acquired aplastic anaemia (aAA) who underwent first allogeneic HSCT between 2002 2012. AIC was a rare complication cumulative at 1, 3, 5 10 years post 2.5% (1.2-3.9 95% CI), 4.4% (2.6-6.2 4.6% (2.8-6.5 CI) 5.1% (3.1-7.2 CI). Overall survival after diagnosis 85.9% (71-100 Twenty-five were diagnosed median 10.6 (2.6-91.5) months HSCT. Eight (32%) immune thrombocytopenia...
Combustion of solid waste in municipal incinerators has resulted fouling and corrosion on heat transfer surfaces. The nature these deposits the extent been investigated a combined field laboratory study. In addition to elements normally found boiler deposits, chlorine, lead, zinc appeared significant quantities incinerator deposits. Twenty specific compounds have identified presence potassium, sulfur, product scale at metal-deposit interface demonstrated. Corrosion resulting from action flue...
Chemical analyses, electron microprobe surveys, and X-ray diffraction examinations of deposits corroded metal surfaces from corrosion probes exposed in operating municipal incinerators have helped explain the attack observed. It is suggested that corrosive gases, SO2, SO3, HCl, Cl2 are great importance. In addition, low melting chlorine sulfur-containing salts contribute to corrosion. The reactions with steel important temperature range 204 316 C (400 600 F) both HCl cause at higher...
Abstract Corrosion resulting from the action of flue gases and accumulated deposits in municipal incinerators has been studied by means a probe consisting boiler steel specimens. ra...
Chlorides play an important role in corrosion of heat-transfer surfaces and wet-scrubbers municipal incinerators. The nature the deposits extent have been investigated a combined field laboratory study. Corrosion by flue gases accumulated has measured probes exposed large rates various metals incinerator scrubber waters also determined. Parallel experiments were conducted to provide additional data under controlled environments for interpretation reactions. General surface wastage, pitting,...
Objectives Studies exploring vaccination rates among haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients have focused on physician factors that limit uptake. Understanding the patient determine intention is crucial to delivering a successful programme. Using modified health belief model (mHBM), we conducted cross-sectional survey with objective of sociodemographic and psychological determined autologous allogeneic HSCT recipients’ receive seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (SIIV)...
Laboratory studies are discussed in which steels were exposed to synthetic flue-gas atmospheres at temperatures ranging from 316 538 C (600 1000 F) the presence of various salt mixtures. It was shown that addition chloride salts mixed sulfates greatly accelerated corrosion, particularly C. At C, sulfur containing such as bisulfates and pyrosulfates very corrosive. The importance materials on fireside corrosion municipal incinerators is discussed.

Corrosion is a major problem in the Fluoride Volatility Process for recovery of nuclear fuel. Relatively large scale pilot plant developments are under way by Chemical Technology Division Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In this process fuel dissolved hydrogen fluoride molten bath consisting mixtures such salts as NaF-LiF-ZrF4. Usual operating temperatures near 1200 F (649 C). Because metals stainless steel and zirconium to be it obvious that salt mixture must quite corrosive. This...
