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.

Relating externalizing psychopathology to personality across different structural levels and timescales.

Personality dysfunction may be a key driver of externalizing psychopathology, but more research is needed to understand how personality dysfunction relates to externalizing psychopathology. Moreover, psychopathology manifests in daily life, and little work has considered how day-to-day changes in personality dysfunction influence the expression of externalizing behaviors and urges. The present research examined how the alternative model of personality disorders (AMPD) related to broad and narrower aspects of externalizing psychopathology.

An Anatomical Approach to Radiofrequency-Assisted Facial Rejuvenation: Beyond the Treatment Gap.

Background: Radiofrequency-assisted (RF) facial rejuvenation has become a safe and reliable option for "treatment gap" patients, including (1) patients whose skin laxity is not severe enough to warrant a facelift, yet not mild enough to reliably treat with noninvasive procedures; (2) patients who have already undergone a face or neck lift and have recurrent laxity; and (3) patients who would benefit from a traditional face or neck lift but want to avoid surgery and are willing to accept a more modest improvement without extensive surgical scar burden and recovery.

Objectives: In this study we aimed to educate the reader about providing bipolar RF to various anatomic regions of the face.

Methods: A retrospective review of cases was conducted to assess the safety of zone-specific RF-assisted facial rejuvenation in S.

Impact of order set implementation on appropriate treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate appropriate antimicrobial prescribing after implementing a pneumonia order set within a community teaching hospital.

Design: Retrospective chart review study.

Setting: 450-bed community teaching hospital.
