Article Synopsis
  • Cyclodextrin derivatives are useful for distinguishing between chiral compounds due to their unique properties that allow for selective binding and interaction with different substrates.
  • This study utilizes nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to analyze the effectiveness of different cyclodextrin types (α-, β-, and γ-) in differentiating between two specific chiral compounds, compound B and methyl 2-chloropropionate (MCP).
  • Results indicate that compound B's interactions limit its inclusion within the cyclodextrin, while MCP shows greater selectivity due to a better fit with the cyclodextrin's cavity size.

Unlabelled: The yellow-legged gull has undergone widespread colonization of the urban environment in the recent past. The first urban breeding gulls were recorded in the historical centre of Venice, Italy, in 2000, and by 2005 there were already 24 roof-nesting pairs, with this number increasing significantly over the last decade. In 2016, a new door-to-door garbage collection system was introduced in Venice to prevent the accumulation of rubbish in the streets and limit the trophic resources available for the species.

Patients suffering from hematological malignancies are at increased risk of Fournier's gangrene (FG) due to immunosuppression caused by the disease itself or by disease-related treatments. A systematic review of PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, and Scopus databases was performed in June 2021. We included full papers that met the following criteria: original research, human studies, and describing clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes of FG in patients with oncohematological diseases.

Aim: We aimed to characterise a large population of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with moderate-to-severe hypoxaemic acute respiratory failure (ARF) receiving continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) outside the intensive care unit (ICU), and to ascertain whether the duration of CPAP application increased the risk of mortality for patients requiring intubation.

Methods: In this retrospective, multicentre cohort study, we included adult COVID-19 patients, treated with CPAP outside ICU for hypoxaemic ARF from 1 March to 15 April, 2020. We collected demographic and clinical data, including CPAP therapeutic goal, hospital length of stay and 60-day in-hospital mortality.
