Microbial transformation studies of the cardiovascular drugs mexrenone (1) and canrenone (2) were conducted. Thirty-nine biotransformations of mexrenone and 84 biotransformations of canrenone were analyzed. Metabolism of the substrate was observed in the majority of these cases. Several monohydroxylated derivatives were detected by HPLC-MS-UV and subsequently identified. Two new mexrenone derivatives, 11alpha- (3) and 12beta-hydroxymexrenone (4), and the known metabolite 6beta-hydroxymexrenone (5) were isolated as major products produced by the Beauveria bassiana ATCC 13144 bioconversion (3) and the Mortierella isabellina bioconversion (4 and 5), respectively. Single-elimination products were also sought; however, only the production of the known metabolite Delta(1,2)-mexrenone (6) by several bacteria was confirmed. One new monohydroxylated derivative of canrenone, 9alpha-hydroxycanrenone (7), was isolated as a major product from the Corynespora cassiicola bioconversion. Structure elucidation of all metabolites was based on NMR and HRMS analyses.

Right ventricular injury (RVI) in respiratory failure receiving veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is associated with significant mortality. A scoping review is necessary to map the current literature and guide future research regarding the definition and management of RVI in patients receiving VV ECMO. We searched for relevant publications on RVI in patients receiving VV ECMO in Medline, EMBASE, and Web of Science.

Background: Although agricultural health has gained importance, to date, much of the existing research relies on traditional epidemiological approaches that often face limitations related to sample size, geographic scope, temporal coverage, and the range of health events examined. To address these challenges, a complementary approach involves leveraging and reusing data beyond its original purpose. Administrative health databases (AHDs) are increasingly reused in population-based research and digital public health, especially for populations such as farmers, who face distinct environmental risks.

Sociosexual preference is critical for reproduction and survival. However, neural mechanisms encoding social decisions on sex preference remain unclear. In this study, we show that both male and female mice exhibit female preference but shift to male preference when facing survival threats; their preference is mediated by the dimorphic changes in the excitability of ventral tegmental area dopaminergic (VTA) neurons.

A hybrid coating made of poly (methyl methacrylate) with SiO2-TiO2 particles (PMMA/SiO2-TiO2) has been developed for use as a coating on nanosatellites, evaluating its resistance to high vacuum by quantifying its weight loss. The coating was applied on an Al 7075 aluminum substrate used for the aerospace sector. PMMA/SiO2-TiO2 hybrid coatings were prepared using sol-gel reaction in situ assisted with sonochemistry.
