Background: We conducted a scoping review of the evidence for the use of the Pediatric Assessment Triangle (PAT) tool in emergency pediatric patients, in hospital and prehospital settings. We focused on the psychometric properties of the PAT, the reported impact, the setting and circumstances for tool implementation in clinical practice, and the evidence on teaching the PAT.

Methods: We followed the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and registered the review protocol.

Raw milk adulteration with cheese whey is a major problem that affects the dairy industry. The objective of this work was to evaluate the adulteration of raw milk with the cheese whey obtained from the coagulation process, with chymosin enzyme using casein glycomacropeptide (cGMP) as an HPLC marker. Milk proteins were precipitated with 24% TCA; with the supernatant obtained, a calibration curve was established by mixing raw milk and whey in different percentages, which were passed through a KW-802.

In this research the sequential generation and cyclization of -alkoxyaminyl radicals to produce 1-azaspiro[4.4]nonane, a prominent scaffold in organic and medicinal chemistry, was studied. Competition experiments in benzene at 80 °C with brominated oxime ethers using BuSnH as chain transfer and AIBN as the initiator generated vinyl or aryl radicals which were captured by oxime ethers, allowing approximate 5- cyclization constants at 4.

As the mechanism of interaction between nicotinic receptors with nicotine analogs is not yet fully understood, information at molecular level obtained from computational calculations is needed. In this sense, this work is a computational study of eight nicotine analogs, all with pyrrolidine ring modifications over a nicotine-based backbone optimized with B3LYP-D3/aug-cc-pVDZ. A molecular characterization was performed focusing on geometrical parameters such as pseudo-rotation angles, atomic charges, HOMO and LUMO orbitals, reactivity indexes and intermolecular interactions.

The reaction of -phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine with copper chloride dihydrate produced the title neutral complex, [CuCl(CHN)(HO)]·HO. The Cu ion is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, in which the two N atoms of the bidentate Schiff base, as well as one chloro and a water mol-ecule, form the irregular base of the pyramidal structure. Meanwhile, the apical chloride ligand inter-acts through a strong hydrogen bond with a water mol-ecule of crystallization.
