Cine-MRI of Deglutition: A Systematic Review.

Videofluoroscopy, recognized as the gold standard for dysphagia exploration, has inherent limitations, including poor soft tissue discrimination, radiation exposure, and aspiration risk. In response to these challenges, cine-MRI of swallowing has evolved over the past three decades, yielding diverse methodologies and results across various studies.This systematic review, conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, meticulously outlines cine-MRI protocols, applications, advantages, and limitations.

Investigation of Phosphazene Superbase Interactions with [PClN].

In this study, the reaction between phosphazene superbases and a chlorophosphazene trimer ([PClN]) has been investigated. In this room temperature reaction, the phosphazene superbase (MeN)PN(MeN)P═NEt, commonly known as PEt, was shown to behave as a nucleophile, displacing one of the chlorides from [PClN] and producing the tadpole-like structure . The reaction described herein is one of the few instances of a phosphazene superbase behaving as a nucleophile rather than a Brønsted base.

Feasibility and Acceptability of a Physical Activity Group Program Using telerehabilitation during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Multiple early Intervention for Psychosis Services.

Background: Although physical activity (PA) is beneficial to young people with early psychosis (YEP) to improve physical health and psychiatric symptoms, few YEP initiate and maintain PA. The sports group interventions offered in early psychosis services had to be suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Telehealth has shown promising results in different fields of health services including for patients with mental health disorders.

pUdOs: Concise Plasmids for Bacterial and Mammalian Cells.

The plasmids from the Université d'Ottawa (pUdOs) are 28 small plasmids each comprising one of four origins of replication and one of seven selection markers, which together afford flexible use in and several related gram-negative bacteria. The promoterless multicloning site is insulated from upstream spurious promoters by strong transcription terminators and contains type IIP or IIS restriction sites for conventional or Golden Gate cloning. pUdOs can be converted into efficient expression vectors through the insertion of a promoter at the user's discretion.
