Trends in glaucoma surgery in a tertiary hospital in Spain: 2010-2022.

Objective: This study aims to conduct an analysis glaucoma surgeries performed over a 13-year period at a tertiary hospital affiliated with the Spanish National Health System, with the goal of assessing temporal trends.

Methods: This retrospective observational study scrutinized surgeries undertaken in the glaucoma unit of a tertiary center in Spain between 2010 and 2022. Data collected included surgical dates, procedure performed, whether it was standalone or combined, as well as patient demographics including age, sex, and type of underlying glaucoma.

Wearable Devices Based on Bioimpedance Test in Heart Failure: Clinical Relevance: Systematic Review.

Background: Heart failure (HF) represents a frequent cause of hospital admission, with fluid overload directly contributing to decompensations. Bioimpedance (BI), a physical parameter linked to tissue hydration status, holds promise in monitoring congestion and improving prognosis. This systematic review aimed to assess the clinical relevance of BI-based wearable devices for HF fluid monitoring.

Wearable Devices Based on Bioimpedance Test in Heart-Failure: Design Issues.

Heart-failure (HF) is a severe medical condition. Physicians need new tools to monitor the health status of their HF patients outside the hospital or medical supervision areas, to better know the evolution of their patients' main biomarker values, necessary to evaluate their health status. Bioimpedance (BI) represents a good technology for sensing physiological variables and processes on the human body.

Synthesis, Reactivity, and Bonding Analysis of a Tetracoordinated Nickel Carbene.

Nickel carbenes are key reactive intermediates in the catalytic cyclopropanation of olefins and other reactions, but isolated examples are scarce and generally rely on low coordination numbers (≤3) to stabilize the metal-ligand multiple bond. Here we report the isolation and characterization of a stable tetracoordinated nickel carbene bearing a triphosphine pincer ligand. Its nucleophilic character is evidenced by reaction with acids, and it can transfer the carbene fragment to CO to form a ketene.
