Water-Soluble Iron Porphyrins as Catalysts for Suppressing Chlorinated Disinfection Byproducts in Hypochlorite-Dependent Water Remediation.

We are facing a world-wide shortage of clean drinking water which will only be further exacerbated by climate change. The development of reliable and affordable methods for water remediation is thus of utmost importance. Chlorine (which forms active hypochlorites in solution) is the most commonly used disinfectant due to its reliability and low cost.

Dimeric Copper(I) Complex with a Disulfonamide-Bridged Core.

Pyridine-2-yl-sulfonyl-quinolin-8-yl-amide (psq) has produced the first sulfonamidato-bridged dicopper(I) complex, {Cu[κ-(μ-κ:κ-psq)]} containing the rhombic Cu(I)N core. The single crystal X-ray structure of this complex shows that two anionic psq ligands straddle the metal atoms via bridging sulfonamide N atoms to give a Cu···Cu distance of 2.9593(8) Å.

Exploring Antibacterial Usage and Pathogen Surveillance over Five Years in a Tertiary Referral Teaching Hospital Adult General Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Antimicrobial resistance is a globally recognised health emergency. Intensive care is an area with significant antimicrobial consumption, particularly increased utilisation of broad-spectrum antibacterials, making stewardship programmes essential. We aimed to explore antibacterial consumption, partnered with pathogen surveillance, over a five-year period (2018 to 2023) in a tertiary referral adult general intensive care unit (ICU).

Airway ciliary microenvironment responses in mice with primary ciliary dyskinesia and central pair apparatus defects.

Dysfunction of motile cilia can impair mucociliary clearance in the airway and result in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). We previously showed that mutations in central pair apparatus (CPA) genes perturb ciliary motility and result in PCD in mouse models. However, little is known about how epithelial cell types in the ciliary microenvironment of the upper airway respond to defects in ciliary motility and mucociliary clearance.

Effective military mental health considerations in Navy basic training.

The U.S. military has been met with challenges in manning to meet mission requirements over the past several years.
