Polymethylenetetrazole: Synthesis, Characterization, and Energetic Properties.

The tetrazole moiety remains one of the most interesting scaffolds in the development of new high-energy density materials (HEDMs) because of its desired characteristics, such as high nitrogen content and heat of formation (HOF). The combination of several heterocycles with high HOF seems to be a promising strategy for obtaining energetic materials with superior properties. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a tetrazole polymer, polymethylenetetrazole (PMT), as a potential HEDM.

Antimicrobial treatment in invasive infections caused by : systematic review.

Background: Corynebacterium, Nocardia, Rhodococcus, Mycobacterium, as well as Gordonia genera belongs to the genus Gordonia, Actinomycetia class. is a nitrate-reducing, urease-producing, non-motile, force aerobe with a rod-like figure that is known to arrangement into sessile, cord-like groups. This systematic review aimed to establish whether and what invasive infections in humans were caused by , and to evaluate outcomes of administered antibiotic treatment.

A Comparative Study on Mental Disorder Conceptualization: A Cross-Disciplinary Analysis.

The conceptualization of mental disorders varies among professionals, impacting diagnosis, treatment, and research. This cross-disciplinary study aimed to understand how various professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, medical students, philosophers, and social sciences experts, perceive mental disorders, their attitudes towards the disease status of certain mental states, and their emphasis on biological versus social explanatory attributions. A survey of 371 participants assessed their agreement on a variety of conceptual statements and the relative influence of biological or social explanatory attribution for different mental states.

Interleukin 33, soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2, interleukin 27, and galectin 3 as predictors for outcome in patients admitted to intensive care units.

Intensive care units (ICUs) are expert hospital areas that provide treatment and 24 h care for people who are very sick. Sepsis represents a serious, severe condition and it can lead to septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndromes and is one of the most common reasons for patients' hospitalization in ICUs. We wanted to explore the prognostic values of interleukin (IL) 33, soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), IL 27, and galectin 3 in critically-ill patients.

Antimicrobial Treatment of Invasive Infections: Systematic Review.

: (SM) is a Gram-negative pathogen discovered by Italian pharmacist, Bizio, in 1819. According to the literature, is resistant to a wide range of antibiotics, including penicillin, cephalosporin, tetracycline, macrolide, nitrofurantoin, and colistin. We conducted a systematic review of published reports, determined what invasive infections could cause SM, and established the most appropriate antibiotic therapy.
