Research on new reaction routes and precursors to prepare catalysts for CO hydrogenation has enormous importance. Here, we report on the preparation of the permanganate salt of the urea-coordinated iron(III), [hexakis(urea-)iron(III)]permanganate ([Fe(urea-O)](MnO)) via an affordable synthesis route and preliminarily demonstrate the catalytic activity of its (Fe,Mn)O thermal decomposition products in CO hydrogenation. [Fe(urea-O)](MnO) contains O-coordinated urea ligands in octahedral propeller-like arrangement around the Fe cation.

This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of carotid endarterectomies (CEA) performed using transcranial cerebral oximetry as cerebral monitoringMETHODS: This single-center study included patients treated surgically for significant stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) from January 2012 to December 2017RESULTS: Of the 654 patients, 267 were asymptomatic, and 387 were symptomatic. Eversion CEA was performed in 64.8 %, and patched conventional CEA in 35.

Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the significance of LAA strain and strain rate as assessed by speckle-tracking imaging in relation to documented thromboembolic events.
Methods: A group of 80 patients with a mean age of 65 years who were referred for electrical cardioversion of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation was retrospectively analyzed.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes of valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (VIV-TAVI) in patients with degenerated small bioprostheses.
Methods: Outcomes of consecutive 27 high-risk patients (logistic EuroSCORE 35.5 ± 18.
Authors present a case report of a patient who was diagnosed with a tumour of external iliac vein. Excision of venous wall with tumour and reconstruction of external iliac vein with venous patch was performed. Postoperative course was without complication.
