Background: The ability to non-invasively measure left atrial pressure would facilitate the identification of patients at risk of pulmonary congestion and guide proactive heart failure care. Wearable cardiac monitors, which record single-lead electrocardiogram data, provide information that can be leveraged to infer left atrial pressures.

Methods: We developed a deep neural network using single-lead electrocardiogram data to determine when the left atrial pressure is elevated.

An Unusual Semiquinone-mediated Self-catalysis Redox Mechanism for the Reaction between Halohydroquinones and N-Substituted Hydroxamic acids.

We found recently that a C-C bonding phenyl-quinone product was produced with high yield (96%) from the reaction between 2,5-dichloro-1,4-Benzoquinone (DCBQ) and N-phenylbenzohydroxamic acid (N-PhBHA) via an unusual Claisen rearrangement mechanism, accompanied with the concurrent formation of the minor byproducts amide (N-phenylBenzamide, N-PhBA; only 2% yield) and hydroxychloroquinone (2% yield). Surprisingly, when DCBQ was replaced with its reduced form 2,5-dichloro-1,4-hydroquinone (DCHQ), no C-C bonding product was detected, whereas N-PhBA (83% yield) and hydroxychloroquinone (80% yield) became the predominant products, indicating a dramatic mechanistic shift. The ascorbate reduction experiment suggested that it was not DCHQ itself, but its corresponding semiquinone radical, that directly reacts with N-PhBHA.

Inkless paper made from photochromic materials has garnered significant interest owing to its potential to reduce both ink and paper pollution during production. In this research, we synthesized a dual-material film (EC-PVP/PGMEA/PMoA) and conducted a detailed investigation of its photochromic response to visible light and its microstructural properties. Initially, the film appeared as a translucent yellow, but upon exposure to visible light, it shifted to blue with a maximum absorption peak of 2.

Efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics in water by MXene-derived TiO-supported SiO/TiC composites: Optimisation, mechanism and toxicity evaluation.

Photocatalytic technology has emerged as a promising solution to global water contamination, mainly through the effective degradation of persistent pharmaceutical pollutants. However, a few challenges still exist in enhancing degradation efficiency, reducing the toxicity of by-products, and ensuring cost-effective scalability. This study focuses on Tetracycline Hydrochloride (TCH) as an index antibiotic pollutant to evaluate the performance of a novel MXene-derived TiO-supported SiO₂/TiC composite (SMXT) synthesized using ultrasonic and wet impregnation techniques.

Lebanon, plagued by political and economic crises, experienced a government collapse in early 2020, leading to an electrical nationwide blackout by 2023. Diesel generators were used to compensate for the absence of power production from the national provider, Electricité du Liban (EDL). To investigate the effect of the crisis on the levels of 16 EPA particle bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PPAHs), an annual comparative analysis of three locations within Beirut started in 2022 and ended in 2023.
