The temperature dependence of concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET) reactions of two anthracene-phenol-pyridine (An-PhOH-py) triads is investigated in toluene. Light excitation forms an anthracene local excited state (An), which undergoes CPET to form a charge separated state (CSS, An-PhO-pyH), which in turn undergoes CPET charge recombination (CR). In toluene, compared with polar solvents, the CSS is energetically destabilized.

Article Synopsis
  • Assessing the validity of kinetic theories for unimolecular reactions is challenging when adjacent reaction steps heavily influence their rates.
  • A common example involves bimolecular reactions with weak overlap, where prior collisions affect the speed of subsequent electron transfer.
  • Our reanalysis indicates that proton-transfer steps have a significant intrinsic free energy barrier, linked to nuclear reorganization, and these findings can also apply to inner-sphere electron-transfer reactions in fuel-forming processes.

Background And Purpose: Phantom limb pain (PLP) can be disabling for nearly two thirds of amputees. Hence, there is a need to find an effective and inexpensive treatment that can be self administered. Among the non-pharmacological treatment for PLP, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) applied to the contralateral extremity and mirror therapy are two promising options.

Article Synopsis
  • Exercise training for paraplegic patients significantly enhances the physiological properties of the Triceps Brachii muscle, contributing to improved muscle resilience and adaptation.
  • The study involved 12 subjects with complete paraplegia, who underwent training for over two months, with notable increases in arm circumference and improvements in muscle fatigue resistance.
  • A positive correlation was found between the time to fatigue in muscles and walking distance achieved with orthoses, highlighting the impact of upper body strength on mobility for these individuals.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty is used to manage osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures. Although it is relatively safe, complications after vertebroplasty ranging from minor to devastatingly major ones have been described. Cement leakage into the spinal canal is one such complication.

Background: Gorham's disease of the spine is very rare and usually associated with poor prognosis. Till date very few cases have been reported in the literature. It is characterized by osseous invasion by angiomatous vascular mass without skip areas, eventually causing lysis of affected bone.
