Can Artificial Intelligence Help Us in the Evaluation of Coronary Artery Calcification Scores by Acting as a Prognosticator in Patients That Are Operated on Due to Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer? A Pivotal Study.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of death from malignancies, and surgical resection is the most effective form of treatment. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common comorbidity in patients with NSCLC. A coronary artery calcium (CAC) score correlates with the extent of CAD.

Can Blood Inflammatory Markers Identify Pregnant Women with Preeclampsia? Still a Controversial Issue.

Background: Preeclampsia is a unique vascular disease during pregnancy that generally appears after 20 of weeks gestation or until 6 weeks after delivery. Left undiagnosed, preeclampsia can lead rapidly to death of both mother and fetus.

Objectives: To verify the efficacy of peripheral blood inflammatory markers (BIMs)in diagnosing preeclampsia and compare them with results from other studies.

The Impact on Birth Outcomes of Sonographic Fetal Weight Estimation in Neonatal Macrosomia.

Objective:  Our objective was to examine the association between sonographic estimated fetal weight (EFW) and obstetrical and neonatal outcomes in women with neonatal macrosomia.

Study Design:  This study, conducted at a tertiary university-affiliated hospital from 2017 to 2021, compared obstetrical and neonatal outcomes between two groups of women who delivered macrosomic newborns (actual birth weight ≥ 4,000 g): (1) those with EFW ≥ 3,800 g (suspected impending macrosomia) and (2) those with EFW < 3,800 g (unsuspected impending macrosomia).

Results:  During the study period, 854 women with neonatal macrosomia attempted vaginal delivery.

Chemical insecticides and biological methods of control have a number of disadvantages that can be improved by using oligonucleotide insecticides. In this article, we present, for the first time, the results of using oligonucleotide insecticides, for which the target sequence is an internal transcribed spacer (ITS) in a polycistronic rRNA transcript.

Inter-molecular hydrogen bonding in -methyl-'-(pyridin-2-yl)benzene-1,2-di-amine.

The structure of -methyl-'-(pyridin-2-yl)benzene-1,2-di-amine, CHN, at 123 K has ortho-rhom-bic (2) symmetry. The title compound displays an unexpected proton-splitting pattern when studied by H NMR spectroscopy. The X-ray crystallography analysis determined this to be caused by strong dual N-H⋯N hydrogen bonding.

[Quality of life and physical activity among elderly and old people.].

This article presents the results of the identification of the main causes of physical inactivity among the elderly and the assessment of the effectiveness of the inclusion of regular Nordic walking into the preventive system for the elderly in order to improve the quality of life. A comparative analysis of the quality of life was used among elderly and old people, regularly engaged in Nordic walking (intervention group) and leading a physically passive lifestyle (control group). It was established that regular physical activity allows the improvement of the quality of life and positively affects health in groups under study, but it is the elderly people who represent the most physically inactive part of the population.

[Use of vacuum-cavitation methods for D-bridement while treating purulo-necrotic conditions].

Treatment of purulo-necrotic wounds is complicated by process persistence, by microorganisms' multidrug resistance to antibacterial remedies, by nonspecific inflammatory response of nonbacterial origin in soft tissues, as well as by concomitant pathology. The paper was aimed to improve the outcome of treatment of purulent processes in soft tissues. 31 patients with purulent conditions in their soft tissues (among them 14 men and 17 women) were involved in the treatment at the surgical department №1 of the "Emergency hospital".

Applicability of MIEX(®)DOC process for organics removal from NOM laden water.

The aim of this study was to evaluate applicability of ion exchange process for organics removal from Douro River surface water at the intake of Lever water treatment plant using magnetized ion exchange resin MIEX®. Qualitative analysis of the natural organic matter present in the surface water and prediction of its amenability to removal in conventional coagulation process were assessed. Results obtained in MIEX®DOC process kinetic batch experiments allowed determination of ion exchange efficiency in dissolved organic carbon (DOC), UV absorbing organics, and true color removal.

Pure red cell aplasia due to treatment with epoietin beta: first case report of PRCA from Poland.

Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) emerged recently as the potentially life-threatening condition secondary to anti-Epo antibodies. Vast majority of cases were reported from Western European countries and were secondary to subcutaneous injections of Epoietin alpha. Here we describe possibly for the first time in the literature the case of PRCA from Poland or even Central and Eastern Europe in patient treated exclusively with Epoietin beta from multi-dose vial.

Tuning the electrocrystallization parameters of semiconducting Co[TCNQ]2-based materials to yield either single nanowires or crystalline thin films.

Electrocrystallization of single nanowires and/or crystalline thin films of the semiconducting and magnetic Co[TCNQ]2(H2O)2 (TCNQ=tetracyanoquinodimethane) charge-transfer complex onto glassy carbon, indium tin oxide, or metallic electrodes occurs when TCNQ is reduced in acetonitrile (0.1 M [NBu4][ClO4]) in the presence of hydrated cobalt(II) salts. The morphology of the deposited solid is potential dependent.

1,4-Bis(piperidin-1-ylcarbon-yl)benzene.

The title compound, C(18)H(20)N(2)O(2), has been synthesized by the reaction of terephthaloyl chloride and 1,2,3,6-tetra-hydro-pyridine. This compound crystallizes as discrete mol-ecular species disposed about a crystallographic centre of symmetry, such that half the mol-ecule constitutes the asymmetric unit. The structure shows an envelope conformation for the dehydro-piperidine ring with the amide carbonyl twisted out of the benzene ring plane by 57.

Factors influencing solvent adduct formation by calixarenes in the solid state.

Structural studies of seven very differently functionalised derivatives of calix[4]arene have been used to provide an analysis of the numerous factors which may influence solvent adduct formation by calixarenes. Evidence is presented that even where a solvent guest is included within the calixarene cavity, interactions solely within the cavity cannot be seen as the sole influences upon the guest position and orientation.

Koilands from thiophiles: mercury(II) clusters from thiacalixarenes.

Tetra- and hexa-nuclear mercury(II) complexes have been obtained from tetrathiacalix[4]arene and tetramercaptotetrathiacalix[4]arene, respectively, and structurally characterised in the solid state; the complexes provide new digonal and trigonal receptors of the koiland type.

Systematic structural coordination chemistry of p-tert-butyltetrathiacalix[4]arene: 1. Group 1 elements and congeners.

Determinations of the crystal structures of complexes of the alkali metal ions with, in the case of Li, the dianion and, in the cases Na-Cs, the monoanion of p-tert-butyltetrathiacalix[4]arene have shown that both the sulfur atoms which form part of the macrocyclic ring, as well as the pendent phenolic/phenoxide oxygen donor atoms, are involved in coordination to these metals. Although the Li and Na complex structures are similar to those of the corresponding complexes of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene, there is no similarity in the structures of the Cs complexes, with the present structure showing no evidence of polyhapto Cs(+)-pi interactions. Instead, the complex crystallizes as a ligand-bridged (S-, O-donor) aggregate of three Cs ions, solvent molecules, and four calixarenes, somewhat like the Rb complex, though here four Rb ions are present, and higher in aggregation than the K+ complex, where two K+ ions are sandwiched between two calixarene moieties.
