Introduction: Measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in haemophilia patients provides a comprehensive patient's functional and the impact of the disease and its treatment.

Aim: This study aimed to assess the HRQoL of haemophilia children and related factors.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study from 6 April 2019 to 29 April 2019.

Chelation of lanthanide and actinide cations within a suitable macrocyclic ligand often results in a rigid, kinetically inert, and thermodynamically stable complex. A benchmark for such cation-ligand suitability are cyclen-derived macrocyclic ligands, frequently used as large cation hosts for various applications. Herein, a comprehensive study of the 1,4,7,10-tetrakis(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane ligand (DOTAM) chelates of U and Ce and their properties in aqueous solutions is presented.

Background: Precision oncology is gradually advancing into mainstream clinical practice, demonstrating significant survival benefits. However, eligibility and response rates remain limited in many cases, calling for better predictive biomarkers.

Methods: We present ENLIGHT, a transcriptomics-based computational approach that identifies clinically relevant genetic interactions and uses them to predict a patient's response to a variety of therapies in multiple cancer types without training on previous treatment response data.

The coordination and redox chemistry of aqueous Ce macrocyclic compounds were studied by using the ligands DOTA and DOTP (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetrayl)tetraacetic acid and 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetra(methylene phosphonic acid), respectively). The hydrolysis tendency of the tetravalent cation in the presence of DOTA is shown to result in the formation of a highly ordered, fluorite-like [Ce (O) (OH) (H O) (DOTAH) ] oxo-hydroxo structure both in solution and in the solid state. The lifetime of the analogous species formed in the presence of DOTP was found to be much shorter.

The CuATP react with methyl radicals to form methane and methanol, where CuATP reacts with CH in a process that is surprisingly slow. The low-rate constant of this process is attributed to the significant rearrangement of the chelating ligand required for the transient's formation. These results were corroborated by DFT calculations of the relevant compounds.
