The oxidation of hydrocarbons is an important chemical transformation with relevance to biology and industry. Ni-catalyzed transformations are more scarce compared to Mn or Fe but have gained attention in recent years, affording efficient oxidations. Understanding the mechanism of action of these catalysts, including the detection and characterization of the active nickel-oxygen species, is of interest to design better catalysts.

- This study investigates the impact of two laser surgery techniques on donor twin survival during treatment for twin-twin transfusion syndrome.
- The trial randomized twins to either a sequential technique, where connections from donor to recipient are treated first, or a selective approach with no specific order, but found no significant difference in overall donor twin survival between the two methods.
- However, it was noted that donor survival was significantly worse in cases with superficial anastomoses, regardless of surgical technique used, underscoring the complexity of managing these twins during surgery.
Fetal lower urinary tract obstruction: international Delphi consensus on management and core outcome set.
Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol
November 2024
Objectives: To reach an international expert consensus on the diagnosis, prognosis and management of fetal lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) by means of a Delphi procedure, and to use this to define a core outcome set (COS).
Methods: A three-round Delphi procedure was conducted among an international panel of experts in fetal LUTO. The panel was provided with a list of literature-based parameters to consider for the diagnosis, prognosis, management and outcomes of LUTO.
Primary health care (PHC) has increased in global relevance as it has been demonstrated to be a useful strategy to promote community access to health services. Multilateral organizations and national governments have reached a consensus regarding the basic principles of PHC, but the application of these varies from country to country due to the particularities of local health systems.This article aims to review and summarize PHC strategies and the configuration of health networks in Latin American and Caribbean countries.
