Molecular Dynamics of Steroidal Rotors Probed by Theoretical, Spectroscopic and Dielectric Methods.

Our study focuses on molecular rotors with fast-moving rotators and their potential applications in the development of new amphidynamic crystals. Steroidal molecular rotors with a dipolar fluorine-substituted phenyl group as the rotator were synthesized and characterized. Three different rotors were investigated with varying numbers of fluorine atoms.

Changes in the scar tissue structure after cesarean section as a result of manual therapy.

Background: Available statistical data from 2015 show that 28% of pregnancies in developed countries end in cesarean section (CC). Discomfort associated with the scar after surgery is a common complication.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the changes in the structure of the cesarean scar after the application of a scheme of manual therapy.

Partnering With Patients, Caregivers, and Clinicians to Determine Research Priorities for Concussion.

Importance: Identifying research priorities of patients with concussion, their caregivers, and their clinicians is important to ensure future concussion research reflects the needs of those who will benefit from the research.

Objective: To prioritize concussion research questions from the perspectives of patients, caregivers, and clinicians.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This cross-sectional survey study used the standardized James Lind Alliance priority-setting partnership methods (2 online cross-sectional surveys and 1 virtual consensus workshop using modified Delphi and nominal group techniques).

Attitudes Towards Rape and Their Determinants Among Men, Women and Non-Binary People in Poland.

The aim of this paper is to present the results of research on attitudes towards rape conducted in a group of 850 adult Poles, including 505 women, 310 men and 35 non-binary people, and to analyze their selected correlates: rape myth acceptance, right-wing authoritarianism and rape empathy. Non-binary people have only recently been included in research as a distinct group and little information can be found in the literature on the characteristics of their attitudes towards social problems. Therefore particular attention was paid to comparing the attitudes towards rape of non-binary people with those of women and men.

Unfavorable effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on the skeletal system of nondiabetic rats.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of antidiabetic drugs, acting by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys. They turned out to improve cardiovascular and renal outcomes not only in patients with type 2 diabetes but also in nondiabetic patients. At present, they are more and more widely used in patients without diabetes.
