Secondary healthcare resource utilization and related costs associated with influenza-related hospital admissions in adult patients, England 2016 - 2020.
Expert Rev Pharmacoecon Outcomes Res
November 2024
Introduction: This study aims to investigate healthcare resource utilization and related costs for influenza virus infections in adults admitted into secondary care in England across four influenza seasons.
Methods: This study includes all influenza admissions from the Hospital Episode Statistics database (HES) across England, September 2016 to March 2020. Descriptive analyses and comparative modeling techniques were used to assess the impact of influenza on risk groups of interest.
Article Synopsis
- The study details the use of a [1+1] condensation method to create new macrocyclic structures, LN6 and LN3O3, aimed at developing high-performance Dy(III) single-molecule magnets (SMMs).
- By modifying the chemical structure from LN6 to LN3O3, researchers achieved a mononuclear SMM that exhibits a significant thermal stability with a value of 1300 K.
- The findings are backed by calculations that reveal the process of magnetization relaxation occurs primarily in the second-excited state.
Article Synopsis
- Relaxor-ferroelectrics are materials with unique dielectric properties due to random dipolar fields created by strong chemical inhomogeneity, displaying a significant skin effect where surface structures differ from the bulk over a length of approximately 100 μm.
- A study of Pb(Fe_{1/2}Nb_{1/2})O (PFN) showed it has ferroelectric and relaxor-like dielectric characteristics, along with antiferromagnetism, indicating it is a multiferroic material.
- Using muon spectroscopy, the research revealed depth-dependent magnetic relaxation behaviors in PFN, demonstrating a magnetic skin effect similar to that seen in its structural properties, while the chemical concentration variations alone did not explain these dynamics.
Aromatic π-stacking is a weakly attractive, noncovalent interaction often found in biological macromolecules and synthetic supramolecular chemistry. The weak nondirectional nature of π-stacking can present challenges in the design of materials owing to their weak, nondirectional nature. However, when aromatic π-systems contain an unpaired electron, stronger attraction involving face-to-face π-orbital overlap is possible, resulting in covalent so-called "pancake" bonds.
