Synthesis, crystal structure and properties of -poly[[bis-(4-methyl-pyridine-κ)cobalt(II)]-di-μ-thio-cyanato-κ :;κ :], which shows a rare coordination geometry.

Reaction of Co(NCS) with 4-methyl-pyridine in water leads to the formation of single crystals of the title compound, [Co(NCS)(CHN)] . The asymmetric unit consists of two crystallographically independent thio-cyanate anions and two crystallographically independent 4-methyl-pyridine coligands in general positions, as well as of two different Co cations, of which one is located on a twofold rotational axis, whereas the second occupies a center of inversion. The methyl H atoms in both 4-methyl-pyridine ligands are disordered and were refined using a split model.

Vertical Sectioning of the Cartilaginous Vault for Rhinoplasty: Technique and Assessment.

Objectives: To describe and assess the vertical sectioning technique for mid vault dissection in patients undergoing primary and secondary rhinoplasty.

Methods: A retrospective review of 208 patients undergoing primary or revision rhinoplasty utilizing the vertical sectioning technique. The Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale was administered to patients pre- and post-operatively.

Commentary on "Impurities in Hyaluronic Acid Facial Fillers? A Narrative Review on Nonanimal Cross-Linked Fillers" by Wollina et al.

A brief discussion in response to the article: Impurities in hyaluronic acid facial fillers? A narrative review on nonanimal cross-linked fillers.

Influenza vaccine format mediates distinct cellular and antibody responses in human immune organoids.

Highly effective vaccines elicit specific, robust, and durable adaptive immune responses. To advance informed vaccine design, it is critical that we understand the cellular dynamics underlying responses to different antigen formats. Here, we sought to understand how antigen-specific B and T cells were activated and participated in adaptive immune responses within the mucosal site.

Synthesis, crystal structure and thermal decomposition pathway of bis-(iso-seleno-cyanato-κ)tetra-kis-(pyridine-κ)manganese(II).

The reaction of MnCl·2HO with KSeCN and pyridine in water leads to the formation of the title complex, [Mn(NCSe)(CHN)], which is isotypic to its Fe, Co, Ni, Zn and Cd analogues. In its crystal structure, discrete complexes are observed that are located on centres of inversion. The Mn cations are octa-hedrally coordinated by four pyridine coligands and two seleno-cyanate anions that coordinate the N atom to the metal centres to generate -MnN(s)N(p) octa-hedra (s = seleno-cyanate and p = pyridine).
