Lipophilicty of 29 thiobarbituric acid derivatives were assessed by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography using methanol: water mixtures as a mobile phase. A linear relationship was found between RM values and methanol concentrations in the mobile phase. The retention parameter, RM0, was related to theoretical partition coefficients calculated by means of different theoretical procedures (AlogPs, IAlogP, miLogP, logPKowwin, xlogP).

Silver chalcogenides exhibit exceptional transport properties but face structural instability at high temperatures, limiting their practical applications. Using AgTe as a model, it is confirm that silver whisker growth above the phase transition renders AgTe unsuitable for thermoelectric applications. Here, the whisker growth mechanism is investigated and propose an inhibition strategy, overcoming a major obstacle in using silver chalcogenides.

Background: Preteen girls of lower socioeconomic position are at increased risk of physical inactivity. Parental support, particularly from mothers, is positively correlated with girls' physical activity levels. Consequently, family-based interventions are recognized as a promising approach to improve young people's physical activity.

Background: Providing ongoing support to the increasing number of caregivers as their needs change in the long-term course of dementia is a severe challenge to any health care system. Conversational artificial intelligence (AI) operating 24/7 may help to tackle this problem.
Objective: This study describes the development of a generative AI chatbot-the PDC30 Chatbot-and evaluates its acceptability in a mixed methods study.
Objective: Hematopoietic stem cell transplant is a life-saving procedure that treats patients with various conditions by transplanting hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow. Mobile health apps could be useful in closing the digital divide and improving health equity among Spanish-speaking caregivers of children who undergo pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant. This study aims to transcreate the BMT4me adherence app originally designed for English-speaking caregivers for Spanish-speaking caregivers and evaluate the feasibility and usability.

Enantiomeric analysis of chiral drugs is very significant, as their enantiomers display different pharmacological or toxicological behavior towards living systems. Among these drugs, β-blockers are available as racemates, where their enantiomers display different pharmacological effects. Herein, we report enantioselective separation of two β-blockers, namely, atenolol and sotalol, using a derivatization approach.
