Iron(IV)-oxo intermediates found in iron enzymes and artificial catalysts are competent for H atom abstraction in catalytic cycles. For = 2 intermediates, both axial and equatorial approaches are well-established. The mechanism for = 1 sites is not as well understood: an equatorial approach is more energetically favorable, and an axial approach requires crossing from the = 1 to the = 2 surface.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) is a birth complication due to loss of oxygen flow, resulting in a wide range of physical and cognitive differences often requiring support from multidisciplinary healthcare teams. Despite this population's increased need, little is known about their oral health status and the role of the dentist as a member of the care team.
Methods: A 32-item oral health questionnaire was shared to 8700 members within the patient advocacy non-profit, Hope for HIE's, Facebook group.
Article Synopsis
- * It describes key imaging characteristics: ultrasound shows large, irregular, cystic tumors without calcifications, while MRI highlights irregular borders and necrotic areas, with diffusion-weighted imaging indicating restricted diffusion.
- * The article concludes that certain imaging features allow differentiation between malignant uterine sarcomas and benign myomas, which is crucial for planning appropriate surgical interventions while avoiding risks like intraperitoneal morcellation.
Purpose/objective: The Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) standard 2-19 states that dental programs must assess graduates' ability to function successfully as leaders of the dental team. This study aimed to explore how predoctoral programs teach and assess leadership and compare findings to the only known national survey on predoctoral leadership training from 2012.
Methods: In August and September, 2022, a 22-item survey was emailed to academic deans at 75 CODA-accredited dental schools.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the Womed Leaf, a degradable polymer film, for treating moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions (IUA) in women undergoing hysteroscopic surgery.
- The PREG-2 trial was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, involving 160 women who were divided into two groups: one received the Womed Leaf after surgery while the other did not.
- Results showed that the Womed Leaf significantly improved the reduction of IUAs compared to the control group, with a higher percentage of women showing no adhesions and no serious adverse events related to the device, confirming its safety and effectiveness.
