Article Synopsis
  • First-principles calculations confirm that the distorted Prussian blue analogue RbCuCo(CN) exhibits uniaxial zero thermal expansion (ZTE) aligned with experimental findings.
  • The compound also displays zero linear compressibility (ZLC) behavior, linked to the unique Jahn-Teller distortion caused by copper ions.
  • An analysis of the lattice thermal conductivity (LTC) reveals that RbCuCo(CN) has notably low LTC and anisotropic phonon group velocity, particularly showing glasslike characteristics along its -axis at low temperatures.

Purpose: Aldosterone is associated with the development of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiovascular diseases. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an effective treatment for OSA, but the impact of CPAP therapy on aldosterone levels in patients with OSA remains unclear. To address this issue, a meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of CPAP therapy on serum aldosterone levels in OSA.
