Tetraarylazadipyrromethenes are Lewis basic, red-light absorbing dyes with optical properties conducive to sensing and therapeutic applications. Recently, transition metal complexes of these ligands have been described. Here, we report a series of three-coordinate Group 11 complexes of unsubstituted and methoxy-substituted tetraarylazadipyrromethenes. In each, two pyrrole nitrogens chelate a d(10) metal ion; triphenyl- or triethylphosphine occupies a third coordination site. New complexes are characterized by multinuclear NMR, X-ray crystallography, optical absorption and emission spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Solid-state structures show trigonal planar geometries about the metal centers, and reveal pervasive intra- and intermolecular pi-stacking interactions. Visible light absorption intensifies with metal binding, in some cases shifting to longer wavelengths. The complexes weakly luminesce in the red region; emission wavelengths and quantum yields are similar to those of free azadipyrromethenes. Methoxy-substitution on the ligand red-shifts optical features, whereas substitution of triethylphosphine for triphenylphosphine in the third coordination site has minimal structural or spectral consequences.

Background: Limited data are available on the global rates of paediatric multiple sclerosis. Here, we report on the estimated worldwide prevalence of paediatric MS.
Methods: We included paediatric prevalence data in 2020-2022 (Multiple Sclerosis International Federation Atlas of MS) and the prevalence of child neurologists (International Child Neurology Association).
Social determinants of health and health outcomes in older cancer survivors.
Curr Opin Support Palliat Care
January 2025
Department of Medical Social Science, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Purpose Of The Review: Today, two-thirds of all cancer survivors are at least 65 years old. Older cancer survivors have complex care needs, and addressing their social determinants of health (SDoH) is critical for improving and managing survivorship outcomes for this uniquely vulnerable population, yet research specifically examining these associations remains limited and emergent. To this end, we describe the emergent body of evidence on the associations between SDoH domains and older cancer survivors' outcomes.

This critical review paper examines the health inequalities faced by individuals with Severe Mental Illness (SMI) in the United Kingdom; highlighting the disproportionate burden of physical health conditions such as respiratory disorders, cardiac illnesses, diabetes and stroke amongst this population. These conditions contribute to a significantly higher rate of premature mortality in individuals with SMI, with two-thirds of these deaths deemed preventable. Despite the National Health Service (NHS) acknowledging the need to address these health inequalities, the mortality gap between those with and without SMI continues to widen.

Background: Advances in digital healthcare and health information provide benefits to the public. However, lack of digital skills together with access, confidence, trust and motivation issues present seemingly insurmountable barriers for many. Such digital health exclusion exacerbates existing health inequalities experienced by older people, people with less income, less education or who don't have English as a first language.

Child Care Health Dev
January 2025
Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University, Augusta, Georgia, USA.
Background: Since 2001, the American Academy of Pediatrics has released and twice revised guidelines tasking paediatricians with screening children for developmental disorders, but diagnoses are often delayed. Paediatricians in the United States are also responsible for referring patients with identified concerns for services and for managing their long-term care.
Objectives: This review aims to chronologically synthesize available literature about paediatricians' perspectives surrounding their roles in identifying and managing early childhood disorders and to identify how future interventions can best address these perspectives.
