Ferroptosis has been recognized as an iron-based nonapoptotic-regulated cell death process. In the quest of resisting the unyielding vehemence of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), herein we have showcased the ferroptosis-inducing heteroleptic [], [], and [] complexes, enabling them to selectively target "sialic acid", an overexpressed cancer cell-surface marker. The open-circuit potential (OCP) measurements in live cancer cells revealed the specific interaction between TNBC and the complexes, whereas control experiments with normal cells did not exhibit such interactions.

Intrauterine transfusion in singleton itself is technically difficult and requires a lot of skill and precision. Performing double/triple transfusion in twins/triplets is expected to be more demanding.

Introduction: Management of patients with BMI≥50 kg/m is challenging. In previous work, pre and postoperative pharmacotherapy with phentermine/topiramate plus laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (PT + SG) promoted greater weight loss than sleeve gastrectomy (SG) alone at 24 mo postoperatively. This current secondary analysis studied the impact of PT + SG on blood pressure (BP), heart rate, and antihypertensive usage.

Beverages are the leading source of sugar in children's diets and a modifiable risk factor for adverse health conditions. Electronic health record-based screeners could facilitate health systems' efforts to reduce child consumption of sugary beverages. Before implementing a sugar-sweetened beverage screener in the electronic health record within academic healthcare system, 228 pediatric and family medicine clinic staff completed an online educational training to familiarize them with the screener and its rationale.
