The electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry of Ru(porphyrin)(NO)(phenoxide) complexes Ru(por)(NO)(OPh) (por = OEP, 1a; TAP, 2a; Ph = CH), Ru(por)(NO)(OAr) (por = OEP, 1b; TAP, 2b; OAr = -OCH-(2-NHC(O)CF)), Ru(por)(NO)(OAr) (por = OEP, 1c; TAP, 2c; OAr = OCH-(2,6-NHC(O)CF); OEP = octaethylporphyrinato dianion, TAP = tetraanisolylporphyrinato dianion) indicate that initial one-electron oxidation results in structure-dependent net reactivity at the phenoxide ligand. Oxidation of 1a generates 1a+, which undergoes a relatively slow rate-limiting second-order follow-up reaction. In contrast, 2a undergoes a diffusion-limited follow-up reaction after oxidation.

Objective:  Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) improves pregnancy outcomes in type 1 diabetes. Given the rapid uptake of CGM in pregnancies complicated by both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, our objective was to determine if CGM satisfaction and use differed between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Study Design:  Cross-sectional survey study of 100 patients with pregestational diabetes who used Dexcom G6 CGM during pregnancy and received prenatal care at a single tertiary care center.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess whether the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the incidence of pediatric hydrocephalus surgeries, hypothesizing that surgical volumes would remain stable despite the pandemic.
  • Data was gathered from ten institutions about hydrocephalus-related surgeries conducted from March 2018 to February 2022, comparing the COVID-19 era to a pre-COVID baseline.
  • Results showed no significant overall change in monthly surgeries during the pandemic compared to pre-COVID, but there was a noticeable decline during the initial surge in April 2020, with disparities noted in patient demographics including sex and race.
