The title compound, ammonium trinickel(II) hydrogen arsenate arsenate di-hydroxide, was synthesized under hydro-thermal conditions. Its crystal structure is isotypic with that of K[Cu(HAsO)(AsO)(OH)] and is characterized by pseudo-hexa-gonal (001) [NiAsO(OH)O(OH)] layers formed from vertex- and edge-sharing [NiO(OH)] octa-hedra and [AsO(OH)] tetra-hedra as the building units. The hydrogen atom of the OH group shows occupational disorder and was refined with a site occupation factor of 1/2, indicating the equal presence of [HAsO] and [AsO] groups.

Single crystals of two basic cadmium phosphates, dicadmium orthophosphate hydroxide, Cd(PO)OH, and penta-cadmium bis-(orthophosphate) tetra-kis-(hydroxide), Cd(PO)(OH), were obtained under hydro-thermal conditions. Cd(PO)OH adopts the triplite [(Mn,Fe)(PO)F] structure type. Its asymmetric unit comprises two Cd, one P and five O sites, all situated at the general Wyckoff position 8 of space group 2/; two of the O atoms are positionally disordered over two sites, and the H atom could not be localized.

Article Synopsis
  • A phase 2/3 trial compared the safety and effectiveness of the new bivalent mRNA-1273.222 vaccine, targeting Omicron BA.4/BA.5 variants, against the original mRNA-1273 vaccine used as boosters in adults who had previously received it.
  • Results showed that the bivalent vaccine produced stronger neutralizing antibody responses against the Omicron variants while maintaining similar effectiveness against the original virus compared to mRNA-1273.
  • The safety profile for mRNA-1273.222 was consistent with the previous vaccine, with no new safety issues found, but further monitoring of vaccine effectiveness and potential new variants is advised.

Crystal structure of K[Zn(CO)].

Acta Crystallogr E Crystallogr Commun

July 2023

The crystal structure of K[Zn(CO)], hexa-potassium tetra-carbonato-zincate(II), comprises four unique potassium cations (two located on a general position, and two on the twofold rotation axis of the space group 2/) and a [Zn(CO)] anion. The Zn atom of the latter is located on the twofold rotation axis and is surrounded in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral manner by two pairs of monodentately binding carbonate groups, with Zn-O distances of 1.9554 (18) and 1.

Article Synopsis
  • Updated immunization strategies are crucial to combat different variants of SARS-CoV-2, leading to a trial for a bivalent vaccine (mRNA-1273.211) targeting both ancestral and Beta variant spike proteins.
  • The trial included two booster doses (50-µg and 100-µg) given about 9 months after initial vaccination, focusing on comparing safety, reactogenicity, and antibody responses to previous doses.
  • Results showed that the bivalent booster elicited significantly higher neutralizing antibody responses against various variants, matched the safety profile of prior boosters, and indicated a strong protective potential against COVID-19.

Background: At interim analysis in a phase 3, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial, the mRNA-1273 vaccine showed 94.1% efficacy in preventing coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). After emergency use of the vaccine was authorized, the protocol was amended to include an open-label phase.

Background: We have previously characterised the urothelium from infants with classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) for the expression of urothelial differentiation-associated markers. We found abnormal expression patterns of uroplakin 3a, cytokeratin 13, cytokeratin 20 and claudin 4 in the majority of bladder biopsies taken at the time of primary bladder closure. Abnormal urothelial differentiation results in a compromised urothelial barrier with potential implications on bladder development and the success of reconstructive surgery.

Crystal structure of Zn(HTeO)(AsO).

Acta Crystallogr E Crystallogr Commun

May 2021

Article Synopsis
  • Single crystals of Zn(HTeO)(AsO) were created as a by-product in a hydrothermal reaction involving zinc, tellurium, arsenic, and ammonia under specific conditions.
  • The structure features a zinc atom with a coordination number of 5, forming a distorted trigonal bipyramid linked to other Zn polyhedra, while tellurium and arsenic are coordinated by oxygen, contributing to the overall three-dimensional framework.
  • The connectivity between the polyhedra through corner-sharing results in layers that extend parallel to the crystallographic direction (001), showcasing a complex arrangement.

Single crystals of cadmium penta-oxidoditellurate(IV), CdTeO, were obtained as by-products in a hydro-thermal reaction of Cd(NO)·4HO, TeO, HTeO and NH (molar ratios 2:1:1:6) at 483 K for seven days. The crystals represent a different polymorph (henceforth referred to as the -form) than the -CdTeO crystals grown from the melt, and are isotypic with hydro-thermally grown -CaTeO. The asymmetric unit of -CdTeO comprises one Cd, two Te and five O sites, all of which are located in general positions (Wyckoff position 4 ).

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) represents an important alternative to coronary bypass surgery for the treatment of patients with complex coronary artery disease and high perioperative risk. Protected percutaneous coronary intervention applies temporary percutaneous ventricular assist devices to mitigate potential hemodynamic compromise in high-risk patients. The Impella system is currently the most commonly used device for protected percutaneous coronary intervention and showed improved hemodynamic parameters in earlier trials.

The present study aimed to compare the clinical outcome of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent a revascularization using conventional coronary angiography or a physiologically guided revascularization with Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR). Furthermore, outcomes in FFR guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) guided PCI were compared. The analysis was performed for reported outcomes at a 1-year follow-up.
