Metal-organic compounds that feature magnetic bistability have been proposed as bits for magnetic storage, but progress has been slow. Four-coordinate cobalt(II) complexes feature high inversion barriers of the magnetic moment, but they lack magnetic bistability. Developing radical-bridged polynuclear systems is a promising strategy to encounter this; however detailed investigations of such species are scarce.

Flaviviruses are the causative agents of viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) globally and have demonstrated the capacity to result in fatal outcomes if not managed effectively. Among different types of flaviviruses, dengue (DENV) and Japanese encephalitis (JEV) viruses are the most common in tropical and subtropical countries. While vaccines have been developed and licensed for both DENV and JEV, effective treatment options remain sparse.

Background: Earlier studies conducted by Indian researchers have demonstrated that the elimination of tuberculosis (TB) requires proactive control of silicosis, given India's significant burden of silicosis and its common comorbidity, pulmonary TB, also known as silicotuberculosis. The TB Control Indian Health Authority saw human immunodeficiency virus infection, diabetes, and malnutrition, among others, as important risk factors for case findings, but overlooked the significance of silicosis. Silicotuberculosis control is often confronted with challenges of detecting microorganisms, uncertain treatment outcomes, a higher likelihood of mono-drug and multi-drug resistance, and increased mortality due to treatment failure.

In this work, we show two synthetic routes to substitute the N position of mesoionic imines (MIIs). By Buchwald-Hartwig amination, 5-amino-1,2,3-triazoles can be arylated at the said position, showing the versatility of amino-triazoles as building blocks for MIIs. The reaction of MIIs with electrophiles (MeI, fluoro-arenes) highlights the nucleophilic nature of MIIs as even at room temperature aromatic C-F bonds can be activated with MIIs.

Neutral mesoionic carbenes (MICs) based on a 1,2,3-triazole core have had a strong impact on various branches of chemistry such as homogeneous catalysis, electrocatalysis, and photochemistry/photophysics. We present here the first general synthesis of anionic mesoionic carbenes (anMICs, 2) based on a 1,2,3-triazole core and a borate backbone. The free anMIC is stable in solution under an inert atmosphere at low temperatures, and can be stored for several weeks.

Background: Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a critical public health problem leading to significant morbidity, mortality, and socioeconomic losses. Despite known risk factors like substance use and sleep-related problems, there is limited research on the prevalence of these factors among drivers who met with RTAs. Hence, this study aimed to gain insight into the prevalence of substance use and sleep-related problems among this population attending a trauma center in the northern State of India.

Evaluating fish habitat suitability (FHS) is of utmost importance in the present times, as rising pollution and ecological stress have led to the deterioration of their habitat and population. The present study has evaluated ecological water quality using the comprehensive pollution index (CPI), eutrophication index (EI), and organic pollution index (OPI). Fish community structure has been assessed based on tropic level score (TLC) and habitat orientation score (HOS).

CXCR4, a chemokine receptor known as Fusin or CD184, spans the outer membrane of various human cells, including leukocytes. This receptor is essential for HIV infection as well as for many vital cellular processes and is implicated to be associated with multiple pathologies, including cancers. This study employs various computational tools to investigate the molecular effects of disease-vulnerable germ-line missense and non-coding SNPs of the CXCR4 gene.

This article aims to compare the dosimetric performance between knowledge-based plan (KBP) libraries with and without trade-off (TO) exploration using multicriterial optimization (MCO) for tongue cancer patients. The trade-off optimized library (KBP_MCO) contains a minimal number of constituent plans, whereas two nontrade-off optimized libraries contain a minimal and a large number of treatment plans, respectively. Three KBP libraries were created: KBP_100 and KBP_20, each comprising of 100 and 20 manually optimized plans, respectively.
