Ionic Liquids with Benzenesulfonate Anions: Non-Fluorinated, Thermally Stable Anion Options.

Thermally resistant materials have been sought after for use as lubricants, heat transfer fluids, high temperature structural materials, and other applications where thermal stability is required or desired. Herein, we present a new class of thermally robust ionic liquids containing inexpensive benezenesulfonate anions with profound long-term, high-temperature aerobic stability - i.e.

Predicting the need for intubation in the first 24 h after critical care admission using machine learning approaches.

Early and accurate prediction of the need for intubation may provide more time for preparation and increase safety margins by avoiding high risk late intubation. This study evaluates whether machine learning can predict the need for intubation within 24 h using commonly available bedside and laboratory parameters taken at critical care admission. We extracted data from 2 large critical care databases (MIMIC-III and eICU-CRD).

Tuning the melting point of selected ionic liquids through adjustment of the cation's dipole moment.

The effect of structural modifications on the thermal stability, melting points and ion interactions for a series of tetraaryl-phosphonium-based mesothermal ionic liquids.

A family of mesothermal ionic liquids comprised of tetraarylphosphonium cations and the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amidate anion are shown to be materials of exceptional thermal stability, enduring (without decomposition) heating in air at 300 °C for three months. It is further established that three specific structural elements - phenoxy, phenacyl, and phenyl sulfonyl - can be present in the cation structures without compromising their thermal stability, and that their incorporation has specific impacts on the melting points of the salts. Most importantly, it is shown that the ability of such a structural component to lower a salt melting point is tied to its ability to lower cation-cation repulsions in the material.

Multi-ion ionic liquids and a direct, reproducible, diversity-oriented way to make them.

Multi-ion ionic liquids featuring large numbers of distinct imidazolium cations can be easily and reproducibly prepared in a simple one-pot procedure. The method provides a dramatic improvement in efficiency over the almost universally used approach of mixing pre-existing ILs to make multi-ion systems.

A quadricuspid aortic valve with atrial septal defect.

A quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital heart defect, previously described as an incidental finding at the time of surgery or postmortem, which is now being increasingly detected by 2D transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiogram. With advances in echocardiography, secondary cardiac anomalies are also being described in association with QAV. Herein we describe a patient with QAV with a secundum atrial septal defect.

The adult with congenital heart disease.

There are approximately 800,000 adult survivors of congenital heart disease in the U.S., and this number continues to increase on an annual basis.

Molecular characterization of an 11q interstitial deletion in a patient with the clinical features of Jacobsen syndrome.

The 11q terminal deletion disorder or Jacobsen syndrome is a contiguous gene disorder. It is characterized by psychomotor retardation, cardiac defects, blood dyscrasias (Paris-Trousseau syndrome) and craniofacial anomalies. We report on a female patient with an approximately 10 Mb interstitial deletion with many of the features of Jacobsen syndrome: A congenital heart defect, dysmorphic features, developmental delay, and Paris-Trousseau syndrome.

Nesiritide during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Nesiritide is a recombinant formulation of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Preliminary experience in the adult population has shown nesiritide to be an effective agent in the treatment of decompensated congestive heart failure (CHF) in adults. Given its physiological effects, it may be an effective agent in other clinical scenarios.

Mosaic ring 12p and total anomalous pulmonary venous return.

An infant born with total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) was found to have an extra chromosome present as a small ring. Spectral karyotyping and FISH analysis identified the material as a duplication involving the short arm of chromosome 12. Previous cases describing a variety of cytogenetic abnormalities that have been associated with TAPVR are reviewed along with prior cases of duplication 12p with their associated findings.

Pertussis pneumonia, hypoxemia, hyperleukocytosis, and pulmonary hypertension: improvement in oxygenation after a double volume exchange transfusion.

A 3-month-old infant of 33 weeks' gestation was hospitalized with pneumonia caused by Bordetella pertussis. Respiratory insufficiency worsened, and on hospital day 3, there was severe pulmonary dysfunction (arterial oxygen pressure/fraction of inspired oxygen ratio: 120), extreme leukocytosis (white blood cell count 104,000/mm3), and severe pulmonary hypertension as assessed by 2-dimensional echocardiogram. A double volume exchange transfusion was performed to reduce the leukocyte mass.
