- A dinuclear molybdenum complex combined with urea hydrogen peroxide has been developed as an effective catalyst for converting thiols into uronium sulfonate salts with high yields (89-98%) in ethanol at room temperature.
- The reaction produced hydrogen gas, a pioneering finding in similar oxidation processes, and detailed product characterization was conducted using techniques like FTIR, NMR, and single crystal X-ray diffraction.
- Mechanistic studies revealed intermediate products including disulfides and sulfinic acids, while two specific reactions illustrated the conversion of uronium p-chlorobenzene sulfonate to sulfonic acid and diphenyl diselenide to selenonate salt.
This study delves into the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of vegetable handlers in Jashore Sadar, Bangladesh, specifically focusing on the crucial significance of food safety across the entire farm-to-fork process. Integrating quantitative and qualitative data provides a multifaceted depiction of this pivotal component within the food supply chain. Ten focus group discussions were conducted, and in total, 50 vegetable handlers were interviewed separately.

Objective: This economic study aimed to evaluate the clinical and cost outcomes of using mid-term cardiac monitors (referred to as "ePatch") versus ILR-only in post-CS patients in the UK, Netherlands (NL) and Sweden.
Methods: An existing cost-minimization model was modified to fit healthcare settings in the UK, Netherlands and Sweden.
