Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated the timing of enteral nutrition (EN) initiation in critically ill stroke patients and its effect on 28-day mortality using data from the MIMIC-IV database.
  • - A total of 997 patients were analyzed, revealing that while early EN initiation seemed linked to higher mortality rates, this association lost significance when adjusting for various factors.
  • - The final results indicated that patients who started EN within 2 days had a worse 28-day survival rate compared to those who began after 2 days, suggesting a potential risk with early EN in this patient population.

Article Synopsis
  • A new method is introduced for linking sugars using a non-classical -saccharide linkage through radical additions to Michael acceptors.
  • C(sp)-S cleaved glycosyl thianthrenium salts are created to serve as effective glycosyl radical agents in this process.
  • This technique allows for the efficient synthesis of β-glycosyl substituted unnatural amino acids and enables modifications of peptides later in the synthesis process.

The visible light induced, photocatalysts or photoabsorbing EDA complexes mediated cleavage of pyridinium C-N bond were reported in the past years. Here, we report an ionic compound promote homolytic cleavage of pyridinium C-N bond by exploiting the photonic energy from visible light. This finding is successfully applied in deaminative hydroalkylation of a series of alkenes including naturally occurring dehydroalanine, which provides an efficient way to prepare β-alkyl substituted unnatural amino acids under mild and photocatalyst-free conditions.

Cellulose hydrogels with high compressive strength were constructed by physical dissolution/regeneration process. Cellulose was dissolved in lithium hydroxide/urea aqueous solvent and lithium tetrafluoroborate aqueous solution was used for regeneration, to obtain hydrogels with compact structure. Compressive strength of the hydrogel reached 14.
