Fullerene-Doped Poly(ionic liquids) as Small Molecular Gas Sensors-Control of Intermolecular Interactions.

Here, we investigate the interactions between five representative gaseous analytes and two poly(ionic liquids) (PILs) based on the sulfopropyl acrylate polyanion in combination with the alkylphosphonium cations, P and P, and their nanocomposites with fullerenes (C, C) to reveal the potential of PILs as sensitive layers for gas sensors. The gaseous analytes were chosen based on their molecular size (all of them containing two carbon atoms) and variation of functional groups: alcohol (ethanol), nitrile (acetonitrile), aldehyde (acetaldehyde), halogenated alkane (bromoethane), and carboxylic acid (acetic acid). The six variations of PILs-PSPA (), PSPA + C ( + C), PSPA + C ( + C), and PSPA (), PSPA + C ( + C), PSPA + C ( + C)-were characterized by UV-vis and Raman spectroscopy, and their interactions with each gaseous analyte were studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

Cytoreduction and Hyperthermic Intrathoracic Chemotherapy for Metastatic Pseudomyxoma Peritonei.

Pleural extension of pseudomyxoma peritonei is rare, and treatment demands multidisciplinary care. Perioperative management during cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy challenges anesthesiology and surgical teams in unique ways. Hemodynamic, arrhythmogenic, ventilatory, fluid balance, acid-base, and nephroprotection issues are important considerations.

Preparation and Biological Activity of Lignin-Silver Hybrid Nanoparticles.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are excellent antimicrobial agents and promising candidates for preventing or treating bacterial infections caused by antibiotic resistant strains. However, their increasing use in commercial products raises concerns about their environmental impact. In addition, traditional physicochemical approaches often involve harmful agents and excessive energy consumption, resulting in AgNPs with short-term colloidal stability and silver ion leaching.

Malignant Hyperthermia-Associated Rhabdomyolysis After Succinylcholine: A Case Report.

Malignant hyperthermia-associated rhabdomyolysis is a condition that lies on the spectrum of malignant hyperthermia (MH). Unlike MH, malignant-hyperthermia-associated rhabdomyolysis is a condition which most commonly is recognized in the postoperative period by the development of discolored brown urine with notably absent rigidity, tachypnea, tachycardia, and hyperthermia. The presented case describes the subtle onset of malignant hyperthermia-associated rhabdomyolysis, along with a review of relevant literature.

Painful Post-traumatic Trigeminal Neuropathy Occurs After Third Molar Extraction.

Painful post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathy (PTTN), or anesthesia dolorosa, is a condition on the same continuum as trigeminal neuralgia. Unlike trigeminal neuralgia, trigeminal neuropathy is a more significant state of neural pathology resulting in constant pain opposed to the episodic nature of trigeminal neuralgia. This typically occurs after facial trauma or as a complication from some treatments for trigeminal neuralgia.
