A service evaluation of patient and clinician experience of video consultations in a specialist outpatient neurorehabilitation service.

Introduction: There has been a rapid adoption of telerehabilitation services, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, with minimal guidance or evaluation of benefit. This survey explores experiences of video consultations in a specialist outpatient neurorehabilitation service.

Methods: Digital surveys were designed to evaluate experience of Attend Anywhere.

Syndiotactic Polyolefins by Hydrogenation of Highly Stereoregular 1,2 Polydienes: Synthesis and Structural Characterization.

Some syndiotactic-rich polyolefins, generally difficult to synthesize through stereospecific polymerization of the corresponding monomers, were prepared by homogeneous non-catalytic hydrogenation of syndiotactic 1,2 poly(1,3-diene)s with diimide, arising from thermal decomposition of p-toluene-sulfonyl-hydrazide. All the polymers synthesized were structurally characterized by means of several analytical techniques, such as FT-IR, NMR (H, C and 2D), DSC, and GPC, and herein illustrated.

Natural history of autologous sperm cryostorage.

Study Question: What is the natural history of elective autologous sperm cryostorage prior to gonadotoxic treatment?

Summary Answer: We estimate large sample median times to transfer for use, to the man's death or to discard of sperm, and their determinants, as the key operational outcomes of sperm cryostorage.

What Is Known Already: No large sample studies of the natural history of sperm cryostorage prior to gonadotoxic treatment are reported.

Study Design, Size, Duration: This observational single-centre study covered 45 years of outcomes with a survival analysis for sperm cryostorage prior to scheduled gonadotoxic treatment, and its determinants.

Ethylene--α-Olefin Copolymers by Hydrogenation of Highly Stereoregular -1,4 Polydienes: Synthesis and Structural Characterization.

The homogeneous non-catalytic hydrogenation of several types of iso- and syndiotactic -1,4 poly(1,3-diene)s with diimide, formed by thermal decomposition of -toluene-sulfonyl-hydrazide, was examined. Perfectly alternating ethylene/1-alkene copolymers having different tacticity (i.e.

Novel Cobalt Dichloride Complexes with Hindered Diphenylphosphine Ligands: Synthesis, Characterization, and Behavior in the Polymerization of Butadiene.

Two novel cobalt diphenylphosphine complexes were synthesized by reacting cobalt(II) chloride with -butyl(diphenyl)phosphine (PBuPh) and ()-(+)neomenthyldiphenylphosphine [()-NMDPP]. The crystal structure of the former was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The two complexes were then used in combination with methylaluminoxane (MAO) for the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene: crystalline highly syndiotactic 1,2 poly(1,3-butadiene)s were obtained, with a 1,2 content and a syndiotactic index (percentage of syndiotactic triads []) up to 95% and 85%, respectively.
