Article Synopsis
- Nitroxide radicals serve as effective catalysts for oxidizing primary alcohols within a specially designed rotaxane structure that includes a paramagnetic crown ether and a molecular axle.
- The rotaxane's primary catalyst is a nitroxide radical that changes its oxidation state during the reaction, while Cerium(IV)/O acts as the co-oxidant.
- The study not only details the synthesis and characterization of the rotaxane using various analytical techniques but also explores its potential for developing autonomous molecular machines based on this catalytic process.
Introduction: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) represents a risk factor for bone loss and impaired bone quality.
Material And Methods: We conducted an exploratory retrospective cross-sectional study involving youths with new-onset T1D, to investigate the relationship between lumbar spine dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and phalangeal quantitative ultrasound (QUS) measurements, along with their correlation with markers of bone turnover, glucose homeostasis, and residual β-cell function.
Results: 17 children and adolescents (8 females) with recent-onset T1D were enrolled into this study.
(1) Background: The aim of the work is to identify some imaging parameters in osteogenesis imperfecta to assist the dentist in the diagnosis, planning, and orthodontic treatment of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) using 3D cone beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and the Double Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) technique. (2) Methods: 14 patients (9 males and 5 females; aged mean ± SD 15 ± 1.5) with a clinical-radiological diagnosis of OI were analyzed and divided into mild and moderate to severe forms.

To analyze the dermis of patients with classical form of EDS (cEDS) and with hEDS, to identify qualitative and/or quantitative differences in ECM component and ultrastructural changes in collagen.
Materials And Methods: Seven subjects, aged over 18, two with cEDS and five with hEDS underwent two skin biopsy.
