Understanding The Role of Cognitive Load In Paramedical Contexts: A Systematic Review.

Cognitive load refers to the working memory resources required during a task. When the load is too high or too low this has implications for an individual's task performance. In the context of paramedicine and emergency medical services (EMS) broadly, high cognitive load could potentially put patient and personnel safety at risk.

ROM polymerization-capture-release strategy for the chromatography-free synthesis of novel unsymmetrical porphyrazines.

[reaction: see text] Crossover-Linstead macrocyclization reactions of two norbornenyl-tagged diaminomaleonitriles with dipropylmaleonitrile gave access to crude mixtures of porphyrazines containing diamino-hexapropyl-porphyrazine magnesium complexes. The mixtures were subjected to ring-opening metathesis polymerization to yield the insoluble diaminoporphyrazine-functionalized polymers. Acid-mediated cleavage from the polymer backbone followed by acylation of the resultant sensitive macrocyclic diamines gave monoacetyl-, monotrifluoroacetyl-, and ditrifluoroacetyl-substituted porphyrazinediamines.

Photolabile ruthenium nitrosyls with planar dicarboxamide tetradentate N(4) ligands: effects of in-plane and axial ligand strength on NO release.

Four ruthenium nitrosyls, namely [(bpb)Ru(NO)(Cl)] (1), [(Me(2)bpb)Ru(NO)(Cl)] (2), [(Me(2)bpb)Ru(NO)(py)](BF(4)) (3), and [(Me(2)bqb)Ru(NO)(Cl)] (4) (H(2)bpb = 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)benzene, H(2)Me(2)bpb = 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)-4,5-dimethylbenzene, H(2)Me(2)bqb = 1,2-bis(quinaldine-2-carboxamido)-4,5-dimethylbenzene; H is the dissociable amide proton), have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. All four complexes exhibit nu(NO) in the range 1830-1870 cm(-)(1) indicating the [Ru-NO](6) configuration. Clean (1)H NMR spectra in CD(3)CN (or (CD(3))(2)SO) confirm the S = 0 ground state for all four complexes.
