Speciation of rhodium(III) in different acidic media has been studied by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). Depending on the nature of the acid, rhodium was shown to occur in the form of positive, neutral and/or negatively charged complexes. The relationship between the distribution of rhodium forms and its catalytic action on the oxidation of N-methyldiphenylamine-4-sulfonic acid by periodate ions has been investigated. It was found that only positively charged complexes of rhodium, such as those dominating in perchloric acid solutions, catalyzed a given reaction to form a colored oxidation product. The rate of the catalyzed reaction was optimized with respect to the pH, reagent and oxidant concentration levels, ionic strength, concentration of the catalyst, as well as the presence of interfering ions. The developed kinetic spectrophotometric method features rather high sensitivity (limit of determination 10 mug l(-1)) and tolerance for most platinum metals and was applied to a complex industrial sample of a platinum concentrate.

Background: Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a highly versatile separation technique widely used in analytical chemistry. Traditionally, CE can be categorized as either aqueous or non-aqueous systems based on the buffer solvents employed. For decades, non-aqueous CE has been predominantly associated with the use of organic solvents, a perception deeply ingrained in the scientific community.

Purpose: Focusing the premature birth and its potential complications, this study analyzes Foveal Avascular Zone (FAZ) measured by Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) and its correlation with the severity of prematurity and neonatal growth.

Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was performed, involving 71 children school-age with history of prematurity and a full-term children control group. Several variables from the neonatal period were collected, such as Gestational Age (GA), Birth Weight (BW), initial Weight Gain (WG) and Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP).

Background: Physical exercise is crucial in type 2 diabetes management (T2D), and training in the aquatic environment seems to be a promising alternative due to its physical properties and metabolic, functional, cardiovascular, and neuromuscular benefits. Research on combined training in aquatic and dry-land training environments is scarce, especially in long-term interventions. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effects of combined training in both environments on health outcomes related to the management of T2D patients.
