The O splitting mediated by the bulky Rind-based diphosphenes resulted in the clean formation of the mixed-valent diphosphorus compounds, diphosphene oxides, with PO moieties. Their structural features and electronic properties have been clearly characterized by experimental and theoretical methods.

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review from 2012 to 2021.
Purpose: Representative neonatal surgical diseases are often complicated by congenital heart disease (CHD). We reviewed our decade of experience from the perspective of the prognosis and report on the management of infants with CHD.
Methods: Cases with and without CHD between 2011 and 2020 were retrospectively compared.
Objectives: Reduction in unnecessary services is one strategy for increasing the value of health care. Reference laboratory, or send-out, tests are associated with considerable costs. We investigated whether displaying cost and turnaround time (TAT), or time-to-result, for reference laboratory tests at the time of order entry in the electronic health record (EHR) system would impact provider ordering practices.

- Chihuahuas are commonly found in Japan and are at risk for myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD), making accurate diagnosis important.
- The current echocardiographic reference ranges are based on larger dog breeds, leading to uncertainty about their applicability to Chihuahuas.
- This study analyzed key heart measurements from 47 healthy Chihuahuas to establish a specific echocardiographic reference range, finding that certain parameters aligned with existing ranges for larger breeds.
