Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is characterised by low platelet counts and often leads to bleeding, fatigue, and reduced health-related quality of life. This observational, retrospective, population-based study using BIG-PAC® database included Spanish paediatric and adult patients with primary ITP diagnosed in primary care and hospitals between 2014 and 2020 (median follow-up: 4 years). Epidemiology, baseline/clinical characteristics, treatment trends, healthcare resources and costs were analysed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAqueous phase reforming has been explored for renewable H production from waste biomass. Promising results have been reported for pyrolysis bio-oil aqueous fractions (AFB), but economical assessments are needed to determine process feasibility, which requires both energy consumption minimization and optimal H valorization. This work compares different alternatives using process simulation and economic evaluation computational tools.

The final products and a selection of intermediates were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against three human pathogenic bacteria: , , and . The results showed that the antibacterial activity varies depending on the chemical structure of the compounds.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA mild and highly selective reduction of alkenes and alkynes using Mn/water is described. The highly controlled generation of H allows the selective reduction of these compounds in the presence of labile functional groups under mild and environmentally acceptable conditions.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPterolobirin H (), a cassane diterpene isolated from the roots of Pterolobium macropterum, exhibits important anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. However, its relatively complex tetracyclic structure makes it difficult to obtain by chemical synthesis, thus limiting the studies of its biological activities. Therefore, we present here a short route to obtain a rational simplification of pterolobirin H () and some intermediates.
