Dinuclear Cyclometalated Pincer Nickel(II) Complexes with Metal-Metal-to-Ligand Charge Transfer Excited States and Near-Infrared Emission.

Facile non-radiative decay of low-lying metal-centered (MC) dd excited states has been well documented to pose a significant obstacle to the development of phosphorescent Ni complexes due to substantial structural distortions between the dd excited state and the ground state. Herein, we prepared a series of dinuclear Ni complexes by using strong σ-donating carbene-phenyl-carbene (C C C) pincer ligands, and prepared their dinuclear Pt and Pd analogues. Dinuclear Ni complexes bridged by formamidinate/α-carbolinato ligand exhibit short Ni-Ni distances of 2.

Pilot model of hepatitis C virus micro-elimination in high-risk populations in Hong Kong: Barriers and facilitators.

Background: Although the general seroprevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in Hong Kong is <0.5 %, Hong Kong is still striving for HCV elimination owing to barriers in care cascade encompassing linkage-to-care (LTC), treatment initiation and adherence. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of a pilot model of micro-elimination to strengthen the HCV care cascade for high-risk groups in Hong Kong.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on specialty training in obstetrics and gynaecology in Hong Kong: is there a concern about the future prospect?

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic in the past few years led to major adjustments in the provision of healthcare. This study aimed to investigate trainees' perception of impact of the pandemic on specialty training in Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O&G) in Hong Kong.

Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was performed on all the O&G trainees and the young fellows of the Hong Kong College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (HKCOG).

Pregnancy and perinatal outcomes of women with SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the pregnancy and perinatal outcomes of women with and without severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during pregnancy.

Methods: Women who delivered in an obstetric unit from March 2022 to October 2022 were recruited. The history of vaccination and SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy was recorded.
