Improved Synthesis of (TBA)[WBr] Paving the Way to Further Study of Bromide Cluster Complexes.

Octahedral cluster complexes of molybdenum and tungsten, [MXY] (M = Mo, W; X, Y = Cl, Br, I), are promising active components in various fields, including biomedicine and solar energy. Cluster complexes draw considerable attention due to their X-ray opacity, red/near-IR luminescence, and ability to convert triplet molecular oxygen to active singlet oxygen under UV and visible irradiation. Among the octahedral cluster complexes of molybdenum and tungsten, compounds with a {WBr} core are the least studied.

The First Clinical Use of Augmented Reality to Treat Salivary Stones.

In this study, we report our first experience of applying the concretion visualization method using augmented reality technology. A clinical case of a new surgical intervention on the parotid salivary gland with the localization of salivary stone in its parenchyma is considered. During additional diagnostics, it was found that the size of the concretion exceeds 5 mm which did not allow us to use the endoscopic technologies.
