Phenobarbital as a Sedation Strategy to Reduce Opioid and Benzodiazepine Burden in Neonatal Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

Objective: The study aims to describe our experience with the implementation of phenobarbital as a primary sedation strategy during neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Study Design: Retrospective chart review in a level IV neonatal intensive care unit between 2011 and 2021 comparing neonatal ECMO patients before and after the implementation of a sedation-analgesia (SA) protocol using scheduled phenobarbital as the primary sedative. Groups were compared for neonatal and ECMO characteristics, cumulative SA doses, and in-hospital outcomes.

Imaging, clearance, and controversies in pediatric cervical spine trauma.

Diagnosing cervical spine injury in children can be difficult because the clinical examination can be unreliable, and evidence-based consensus guidelines for cervical spine injury evaluation in children have not been established. However, the consequences of cervical spine injuries are significant. Therefore, practitioners should understand common patterns of cervical spine injury in children, the evidence and indications for cervical spine imaging, and which imaging modalities to use.

5-Phenyl-1,2,5-di-thia-zepane.

In the title compound, C10H13NS2, the seven-membered ring adopts a chair conformation. The S-S bond length is 2.0406 (5) Å and the C-S-S-C torsion angle is -83.

The effects of aggregation on electronic and optical properties of oligothiophene particles.

Solution processing of oligothiophene molecules is shown to produce a range of particles with distinct morphologies. Once isolated on a substrate, the optical and electronic properties of individual particles were studied. From polarized scanning confocal microscopy experiments, distinct particles that are identifiable by shape were shown to have similar emission spectra except in regard to the 0-0 vibronic band intensity.

{N,N-Bis[2-(diphenyl-phosphan-yl)eth-yl]-aniline}(η-dibenzyl-ideneacetone)-palladium(0).

In the title complex, [Pd(C(34)H(33)NP(2))(C(17)H(14)O)], the Pd(0) atom is coordinated in a trigonal planar geometry formed by two P atoms of a bis-[(diphenyl-phosphino)eth-yl]aniline ligand and a C=C (η(2)) bond involving the C atoms that are in the α,β positions relative to the central ketone of the dibenzyl-ideneacetone ligand.

Synthesis, characterization, and photophysical properties of a thiophene-functionalized bis(pyrazolyl) pyridine (BPP) tricarbonyl rhenium(I) complex.

A bromo tricarbonyl rhenium(I) complex with a thiophene-functionalized bis(pyrazolyl) pyridine ligand (L), ReBr(L)(CO)(3) (1), has been synthesized and characterized by variable temperature and COSY 2-D (1)H NMR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and photophysical methods. Complex 1 is highly luminescent in both solution and solid-state, consistent with phosphorescence from an emissive (3)MLCT excited state with an additional contribution from a LC (3)(pi-->pi*) transition. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure of the title ligand is also reported.

Gallium-containing conducting metallopolymers which display chemically tunable reactivity for the growth of Ga2S3 semiconducting nanoparticles.

Electropolymerization of novel gallium Schiff-base complexes results in conducting metallopolymers containing either coordinatively saturated or unsaturated gallium metal centers. Depending on the chemical coordination of the metal centers, the embedded metal ions can act as seed points for the direct growth of size-controlled gallium sulfide nanoparticles in a conducting polymer, yielding a hybrid electronic material.

Seeded growth of CdS nanoparticles within a conducting metallopolymer matrix.

Electropolymerization of bithiophene-substituted cadmium(II) Schiff base complexes forms thin conducting metallopolymer films with metal centers distributed throughout. The metal centers act as seed points for direct growth of CdS nanoparticles within the polymer matrix under mild reaction conditions. This synthetic approach offers control over both the size and distribution density of the nanoparticles formed within the polymer film.

Multinuclear Cd2, Cd3 and 1-D framework structures of Cd(II) Schiff base complexes.

Reactions of the "salen" type Schiff bases H(2)L(1) and H(2)L(2) with Cd(OAc)(2).2H(2)O gave complexes with Cd(2) and Cd(3) cores and an extended 1-D framework architecture [H(2)L(1) = N,N'-(1,2-phenylenyl)-bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldimine; H(2)L(2) = N,N'-(propyl)-bis(5-bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldimine)].
