Objectives: Symptoms of chronic pancreatitis (CP) frequently hinder patients' ability to work. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of CP on employment patterns and health care experience.
Methods: Patients with CP at 4 US pancreas centers were evaluated.
Background: The news media are often criticized for exaggerated coverage of weak science. Press releases, a source of information for many journalists, might be a source of those exaggerations.
Objective: To characterize research press releases from academic medical centers.
Background: Patients' knowledge and perceptions of functional dyspepsia (FD) may affect illness behavior and healthcare utilization.
Aims: To develop, validate, and administer a survey instrument to assess symptoms, knowledge, and fears in FD patients.
Methods: A 66-item questionnaire was generated.
The oxidative electrochemistry of luminescent rhenium (I) complexes of the type Re(CO) 3(LL)Cl, 1, and Re(CO) 3(LL)Br, 2, where LL is an alpha-diimine, was re-examined in acetonitrile. These compounds undergo metal-based one-electron oxidations, the products of which undergo rapid chemical reaction. Cyclic voltammetry results imply that the electrogenerated rhenium (II) species 1 ( + ) and 2 ( + ) disproportionate, yielding [Re(CO) 3(LL)(CH 3CN)] (+), 7, and additional products.
