Furans from pentoses: Pentose-derived furfural is a commodity chemical produced lignocellulose. A new route to renewable carbohydrates uses chromium catalysts under mild conditions avail mechanism distinct the usual acid catalysis. Applicable both xylose and xylan, this method offers an advantageous biomass-derived chemicals.
A sustainable bio-economy requires the efficient utilization of all components biomass. After glucose, mannose and galactose are most abundant 6-carbon sugars in plant hemicellulose; lactose is a common dairy byproduct. Here, we demonstrate conversion these into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), key intermediate for renewable fuels chemicals. Chromium salts enable HMF but less effective galactose, lactose, related hexulose, tagatose. Isotopic labeling studies reactivity psicose sorbose indicate...
Olefin metathesis in aqueous solvents is sought for applications green chemistry and with the hydrophilic substrates of chemical biology, such as proteins polysaccharides. Most demonstrations water, however, utilize exotic complexes. We have examined performance conventional catalysts homogeneous water/organic mixtures, finding that second-generation Hoveyda−Grubbs catalyst has extraordinary efficiency dimethoxyethane acetone. High (71−95%) conversions are achieved ring-closing cross a...
The purpose of this study was to identify perceived home care needs outpatients receiving treatment for cancer and their caregivers. purposive subsample consisted 16 subjects, 8 patients as Two interview guides, one the other caregivers, were based on Neuman Systems Model assess patient caregiver stressors data analyzed in relation intrapersonal (within individual), interpersonal (between individual others), extrapersonal environment) Several within each category identified by both...
The risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism is high in patients with colon cancer and IBD. Although American Society Colon Rectal Surgeons suggests posthospital prophylaxis after surgery cancer, there are no such recommendations for IBD.This study aims to analyze the incidence factors thromboembolism.This was a retrospective review using Explorys platform.Aggregated electronic medical records from 26 major health care systems across United States 1999 2017 were used this study.Patients...
BACKGROUND Duodenal leak is a feared complication of repair, and innovative complex repairs with adjunctive measures (CRAM) were developed to decrease both occurrence severity when leaks occur. Data on the association CRAM duodenal are sparse, its impact outcomes nonexistent. We hypothesized that primary repair alone (PRA) would be associated decreased rates; however, improved recovery do METHODS A retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 Level 1 trauma centers included patients older...
BACKGROUND Leak following surgical repair of traumatic duodenal injuries results in prolonged hospitalization and oftentimes nil per os treatment. Parenteral nutrition (PN) has known morbidity; however, leak patients often have complex hospital courses resulting barriers to enteral (EN). We hypothesized that EN alone would be associated with (1) shorter duration until closure (2) less infectious complications length stay compared PN. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis retrospective,...
Introduction The utility of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for high-grade traumatic injuries remains unclear and data surrounding its use are limited. We hypothesized that PD does not result in improved outcomes when compared with non-PD surgical management grade IV–V pancreaticoduodenal injuries. Methods This is a retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 level 1 trauma centers January 2010 to December 2020. Included patients were ≥15 years age the American Association Surgery Trauma...
Ionic liquids are an attractive class of solvents for biomass conversion processes. The same properties that make them advantageous—high polarity, water solubility and negligible vapor pressure—hinder their recovery from carbohydrates. We report on the synthesis seven fluorous imidazolium chloride ionic ability to dissolve cellulose. One these liquids, 3-methyl-1-(2′,2′,3′,3′,3′-pentafluoropropyl)-imidazolium chloride, dissolves found this liquid be suitable use in cellulose hydrolysis...
BACKGROUND: Narcotics are the cornerstone of postoperative pain control, but opioid epidemic and negative physiological psychological effects narcotics implore physicians to utilize nonpharmacological methods control. OBJECTIVE: This pilot study investigated a novel neurostimulation device for analgesia. We hypothesized that active would decrease narcotic requirements. DESIGN: was placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial. SETTINGS: trial conducted at an academic medical center Veterans...
For participation in this study, 31 Mexican‐American children between the ages of 3 and 5 years their mothers were recruited. Feeding practices values related to body perception assessed. Mothers obese preferredfat babies themselves more overweight than nonobese children. The differences statistically significant. study has implications for nursing practice identification at increased risk obesity maternal, environmental cultural factors.
Abstract A national study was conducted to determine what constitutes baccalaureate public health nursing education. The primary focus of this article is the essential concepts in education nursing. assumption that an ideal curriculum represents a knowledge base acceptable members profession based on accepted paradigm. Data were collected using mailed questionnaire distributed all National League for Nursing‐accredited programs and completed by person responsible curriculum. obtained...
Aortic graft infections are a rare but devastating complication of aortic revascularization. Often occur due to contamination at the time surgery. Iatrogenic misplacement limbs an aortobifemoral is exceedingly rare, and principles evaluation treatment not well defined. We report 2 cases bypass malposition through colon. Case Report: 1 54-year-old male who underwent grafting for acute limb ischemia. He had previously undergone partial sigmoid colectomy diverticulitis. Approximately 6 months...
