Article Synopsis
  • Mechanistic studies using density functional theory (DFT) for organic and organometallic reactions in solution are now common and complement experimental work.
  • The initial challenge in this approach is selecting the right DFT functional for accurate energy barrier calculations, with evaluations made on both non-empirical (like PBE and PBE0) and empirical functionals (like BLYP and B3LYP).
  • General findings indicate that non-empirical functionals tend to perform better than empirical ones, with PBE0 and PBE0-DH yielding the most accurate results for energy barriers, while adding GD3-BJ dispersion correction doesn't improve accuracy.

Article Synopsis
  • * It involved assessing 39 children, revealing 74% with p-ARDS reported respiratory symptoms, while 60% showed CT abnormalities, especially in p-ARDS cases.
  • * The findings indicate a high prevalence of respiratory symptoms and lung function abnormalities, emphasizing the importance of ongoing pulmonary evaluations for ARDS survivors.

Aim: Using a non-invasive lung function technique (interrupter resistance, Rint), we aimed to determine whether a dose-response to salbutamol could be detected in wheezy preschool children and if so, which dose of salbutamol should be administered to routinely evaluate bronchial reversibility.

Method: Wheezy children (3 to <7 years) were enrolled in a prospective multicenter study. Rint was measured at baseline, and after random assignment to a first dose (100 or 200 μg) and a second dose (cumulative dose: 400, 600, or 800 μg) of salbutamol.

Background: This study aims to describe the cardiovascular manifestations in children with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and detect their relation with kidney disease and type of gene mutation.

Methods: Twenty-one patients (7 to 19 years old) were included. Cardiovascular evaluation involved blood pressure (BP), indexed left ventricular mass (LVMI), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) measurement.
