Article Synopsis
  • The reaction of four 1,2-dibromoxylenes with two tetra-3-pyridylporphyrins resulted in the creation of a metal-free organic nanocage (oNC) that was produced in a highly efficient 91.5% yield.
  • The synthesized oNC was subsequently metalated with cobalt(II), copper(II), and nickel(II) ions to produce dinuclear complexes, which were characterized using various analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction.
  • The cofacial cobalt porphyrins showed significant potential as catalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction, demonstrating high selectivity for producing hydroxyl during electrochemical processes, while the robust architecture of the oNC allows for potential applications with

"Toddler's fractures" are common in the pediatric population. Traditional treatment recommends casting these fractures, although with their inherent stability, may be unnecessary. This study evaluated if toddler's fractures can be treated with observation alone as opposed to casts.

Background And Objective: Upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) lacks high-quality evidence to appraise current patterns of presentation, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes as a result of disease rarity and patient heterogeneity. Registries may overcome many of the challenges making clinical trials challenging in UTUC and provide answers to many of the clinical questions that afflict UTUC management. In this narrative review we aim to summarise the design of registries that have contributed to the UTUC literature, discuss their strengths and limitations and the future directions of registries in UTUC.
