Context: This article mainly studies three isomers of CHNO, namely 5-methyl-3,4-dinitro-1- (trinitromethyl) -1H pyrazole (1), 4-methyl-3,5-dinitro-1- (trinitromethyl) -1H pyrazole (2), and 3,5-bis (dinitromethyl) -4-nitro-1H-pyrazole (3). These three substances are excellent candidates for energetic materials, but their properties under external electric fields (EEF) have not been studied. Therefore, this article studied the properties of three isomers under EEF using density functional theory (DFT), and conducted statistical analysis on the obtained data, including the molecular structure, frontier molecular orbitals, surface electrostatic potential, and nitrate charge of the three isomers.

Article Synopsis
  • Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is prevalent among elderly patients with cardiovascular issues, yet it often goes unrecognized and untreated.
  • The study enrolled 420 patients aged 65+ with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and moderate to severe OSA to compare the effects of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) treatment against no treatment over an average of 22 months.
  • Results showed that CPAP significantly reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events (MACE) and recurrence of atrial fibrillation in patients when combined with regular medical care.

Background: The COntrolling NUTritional Status (CONUT) score and the Global Nutrition Risk Index (GNRI) are screening tools for assessing the risk of malnutrition based on widely available biochemical parameters. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the predictive value of CONUT and GNRI score on 36 months mortality and hospitalization risk in hospitalized older patients.

Methods: Data of 382 patients (196 women, mean age 80.

Context: High nitrogen and high-density compounds have become popular research objects in the energetic materials in recent years. Among them, compounds composed of triazine and azole skeleton rings have received attention due to their good stability and nitrogen content. The triazine imidazole-based condensed ring energetic derivatives have good properties and lack research on the direction of thermal decomposition.
