A series of structures of trans-[MX(2)(PBz(3))(2)] [M = Pt, X = Cl(-); PBz(3) = tribenzylphosphine (1), I(-), trans-diiodobis(tribenzylphosphine)platinum(II) (2), and NCS(-), trans-di(thiocyanate)bis(tribenzylphosphine)platinum(II) (3); M = Pd, X = I(-), trans-diiodobis(tribenzylphosphine)palladium(II) (4)] have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. In all compounds each tribenzylphosphine has one benzylcarbon close to the coordination plane. In (1), (2) and (4) those (in-plane) C atoms, from the two different PBz(3), exhibit an anti conformation along the P-P axis, while (3) has the gauche conformation. Root mean square (RMS) calculations and half-normal probability plots show that the complexes in (2) and (4) are very similar and the only significant differences between them are the M-P bonds, 2.354 (4) and 2.330 (5) A, and the M-I bond distances, 2.604 (1) and 2.611 (2) A, for Pd and Pt, respectively. Calculations of the steric demand of the PBz(3) ligands based on the Tolman model gave values ranging from 155 to 178 degrees for the effective and 156 to 179 degrees for the Tolman angles, respectively.

pH-responsive polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers are used as well-defined building blocks to design light-switchable nano-assemblies in solution. The complex interplay between the photoresponsive di-anionic azo dye Acid Yellow 38 (AY38) and the cationic PAMAM dendrimers of different generations is presented in this study. Electrostatic self-assembly involving secondary dipole-dipole interactions provides well-defined assemblies within a broad size range (10 nm-1 μm) with various shapes.

The first genome of was sequenced in 2005, and its complexity made assembly and annotation challenging. Nowadays, new sequencing methods have improved some strains' genome sequence and annotation, revealing this parasite's extensive genetic diversity and complexity.

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is an uncommon condition defined by the compression of neurovascular structures within the thoracic outlet. When conservative management strategies fail to alleviate symptoms, surgical decompression becomes necessary. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of regional anesthesia (RA) using spontaneous breathing in contrast to general anesthesia (GA) for patients undergoing surgical intervention for TOS.

Diastereodivergent synthesis of octahydrophenanthridinone and octahydrophenanthridine skeletons, structural motifs often found in biologically active natural products, is described. We previously reported a total synthesis of a pancratistatin analog using novel octahydrophenanthridinone construction. In this study, we examined the generality of our method and its extension to octahydrophenanthridine formation.
