Studies of graphene show that robust chemical bonds such as covalent bonds with trigonal-planar atoms afford layered atomic 2D crystals possessing unique properties. Although layered molecular crystals are of interest to diversify elements and structures of 2D materials, the structural diversity of molecules as well as weak intermolecular interactions inevitably makes the design to be one-off and individual. We herein report a versatile method to assemble layered molecular crystals.

- This study investigates myocardial dysfunction in patients with fulminant myocarditis using data from a nationwide registry in Japan, focusing on changes in cardiac function over time.
- It included 214 patients, analyzing left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at hospital admission, discharge, and one year post-discharge, noting significant improvements in LVEF.
- Results indicate that patients with reduced LVEF (<50%) at discharge faced a much higher risk of death or heart transplantation compared to those with preserved LVEF (≥50%), highlighting the importance of cardiac function for prognosis.
The mechanisms underlying the progression of intracholecystic papillary neoplasms (ICPNs) to gallbladder cancer and invasive cancer remain relatively unclear. In the present case, metastatic liver tumors were suspected in an 83-year-old man at presentation; however, the primary tumor was unknown. The patient died shortly thereafter as a result of rapid tumor progression.
