In pediatric liver transplants, dysnatremias have been found to have an impact on pretransplant and posttransplant outcomes. However, much of the current literature has focused on waitlist survival, secondary organ damage, and dysnatremia in donors rather than in recipients. To understand the effect of recipient immediate pretransplant hypernatremia on posttransplant mortality, we conducted a multivariable retrospective review analyzing data from 8011 pediatric patients undergoing liver transplantation provided by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTwo-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have numerous interesting chemical and physical properties that make them desirable building blocks for the manufacture of macroscopic materials. Liquid-phase processing is a common method for forming macroscopic materials from these building blocks including wet-spinning and vacuum filtration. As such, assembling 2D nanomaterials into ordered functional materials requires an understanding of their solution dynamics.

- - Steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy is useful in biophysics and imaging but has limitations in the information it provides about complex systems like DNA and amyloid fibrils.
- - This study utilizes time-resolved spectroscopy to uncover two distinct binding sites for ruthenium complexes on amyloid-β fibrils, revealing previously hidden interactions that steady-state methods missed.
- - Understanding these binding interactions is crucial for developing drugs that target amyloid proteins and mitigate their harmful effects, with time-resolved spectroscopy serving as a valuable method for studying these dynamics.
