A homoleptic rare-earth-metal tetramethylindate.

The homoleptic complex La(InMe) is obtained from the respective aluminium congener La(AlMe) a donor-assisted tetramethylaluminate/tetramethylindate exchange protocol. Compound La(InMe) exhibits interesting thermal lability as well as distinct cluster formation like LaIn(C)(CH)(CH)(CH) and LaIn(CH)(CH) upon addition of an excess of donor or thermal treatment. The neutral potentially tridentate ligand MeTACN (1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) is used to investigate donor-triggered intermediates.

Neurological affection and serum neurofilament light chain in wild type transthyretin amyloidosis.

In contrast to inherited transthyretin amyloidosis (A-ATTRv), neuropathy is not a classic leading symptom of wild type transthyretin amyloidosis (A-ATTRwt). However, neurological symptoms are increasingly relevant in A-ATTRwt as well. To better understand the role of neurological symptoms in A-ATTRwt, A-ATTRwt patients were prospectively characterized at Amyloidosis Center Charité Berlin (ACCB) between 2018 and 2023 using detailed neurological examination, quality of life questionnaires, and analysis of age- and BMI-adapted serum neurofilament light chain (NFL) levels.

[Clinical application of large language models : Does ChatGPT replace medical report formulation? An experience report].

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based language models, such as ChatGPT offer an enormous potential for research and medical care but also for clinical workflow optimization by making medical documentation easier and more efficient in taking over standardized routine tasks. With their ability to guess a text's content using word statistics and thus outputting contextually relevant results in chat dialogues, large language models (LLM) can provide appropriate summaries of medical documentation for different target groups. For instance, text generation in easy to understand language could potentially contribute to an increase in patients' health literacy and, consequently, to increased adherence to treatment.

Hygromechanical Behavior of Polyamide 6.6: Experiments and Modeling.

This paper investigates water absorption in polyamide 6.6 and the resulting hygroscopic swelling and changes in mechanical properties. First, sorption and swelling experiments on specimens from injection molded plates are presented.

A Terminal Yttrium Phosphinidene.

Terminal, nondirectional ionic "multiple" bond interactions between group 15 elements and rare-earth metals (Ln) have remained a challenging target until present. Although reports on terminal imide species have accumulated in the meantime, examples of terminal congeners with the higher homologue phosphorus are yet elusive. Herein, we present the synthesis of the first terminal yttrium organophosphinidene complex, TpY(═PCHPr-2,6)(DMAP), according to a double-deprotonation sequence previously established for organoimides of the smaller rare-earth metals.
