Ligand-to-metal charge transfer facilitates photocatalytic oxygen atom transfer (OAT) with -dioxo molybdenum(vi)-Schiff base complexes.

Systems incorporating the -Mo(O) motif catalyse a range of important thermal homogeneous and heterogeneous oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions spanning biological oxidations to platform chemical synthesis. Analogous light-driven processes could offer a more sustainable approach. The -Mo(O) complexes reported here photocatalyse OAT under visible light irradiation, and operate a non-emissive excited state with substantial ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) character, in which a Mo[double bond, length as m-dash]O π*-orbital is populated transfer of electron density from a chromophoric salicylidene-aminophenol (SAP) ligand.

Enhancing infection preventionist certification success through a structured training program.

Background: Certification in infection control (CIC) is a standardized indicator of the knowledge and competencies essential for effective infection prevention practice. Evidence measuring success of training programs for certfication in infection control is limited.

Methods: From 2017 through 2023, 51 novice infection preventionists (IPs) were enrolled in a training program that combined didactic learning, application of knowledge in practice, and mentorship from advanced-practice and near-peer IPs.

Pilot Implementation of a Nutrition-Focused Community-Health-Worker Intervention among Formerly Chronically Homeless Adults in Permanent Supportive Housing.

Food insecurity is a known health equity threat for formerly chronically homeless populations even after they transition into permanent housing. This project utilized a human-centered design methodology to plan and implement a nutrition-focused community-health-worker (CHW) intervention in permanent supportive housing (PSH). The project aimed to increase access to healthy foods, improve nutritional literacy, healthy cooking/eating practices, and build community/social connectedness among 140 PSH residents.

Specific descriptions of axial involvement are associated with radiographic damage development after 2 years in psoriatic arthritis patients.

Objectives: Investigating the association between different definitions of axial involvement and syndesmophytes development over 2 years in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Methods: Patients from a prospective multicentre cohort (Belgian Epidemiological Psoriatic Arthritis Study) involving 17 Belgian rheumatology practices were recruited between December 2012 and July 2014 and included when fulfilling the Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis. Axial involvement included six clinical and two radiographic oriented definitions.

Extent of axial damage in psoriatic arthritis and spondyloarthritis: comparative data from the BEPAS and (Be-)GIANT multicentre cohorts.

Background: To examine radiographic axial damage of the sacroiliac joints and spine in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) in private and academic Belgian practices.

Methods: Patients with PsA with clinical diagnosis of PsA and fulfilling the Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis from the prospective Belgian Epidemiological Psoriatic Arthritis Study and patients with SpA fulfilling the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society classification criteria for SpA originate from the Ghent and BelGian Inflammatory Arthritis and spoNdylitis cohorTs were included in this study. Baseline pelvic and spinal radiographs were analysed by two calibrated readers.
