The syntheses of M(ii) (M = Mn, Fe, Co) complexes bearing the tris(5-cycloaminoazafulvene-2-methyl)amine (H3N(afa(Cy))3) ligand in its datively coordinated, tautomeric form is reported. The metal-azafulvene complexes [N(afa(Cy))3M](OTf)2 are generated in high yields, featuring a secondary coordination sphere composed of amino moieties from the ligand platform. To investigate the ability of the hydrogen bonding network to support hydrogen-bond accepting, coordinating anions, pseudohalide derivatives, [N(afa(Cy))3MX](OTf) (X = NCS(-), NCO(-), N3(-)) were synthesized by exposure of [N(afa(Cy))3M](OTf)2 to an equivalent of the corresponding salt, [((n)Bu)4N](X). Structural characterization of the products reveals two isomorphs of the desired species. One complex features a single hydrogen bonding interaction with the pseudohalide, while the second compound has two H-bonds from the secondary coordination sphere to the coordinated anion. These complexes showcase the structural and electron flexibility of the ligand platform, presenting a scaffold capable of accessing a different number of hydrogen bonds for stabilizing a given moiety.

ConspectusIn the search for efficient and selective electrocatalysts capable of converting greenhouse gases to value-added products, enzymes found in naturally existing bacteria provide the basis for most approaches toward electrocatalyst design. Ni,Fe-carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (Ni,Fe-CODH) is one such enzyme, with a nickel-iron-sulfur cluster named the C-cluster, where CO binds and is converted to CO at high rates near the thermodynamic potential. In this Account, we divide the enzyme's catalytic contributions into three categories based on location and function.

Background: Mental illness affects an estimated 25% of the global population, with treatment gaps persisting worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these challenges, leading to a significant increase in mental health issues globally. In Saudi Arabia, the lifetime prevalence of mental disorders is estimated at 34.

Aim: To implement and evaluate an Advanced Practice Nurse-led transitional care model (AdvantAGE) to reduce rehospitalisation rates in frail older adults discharged from a Swiss geriatric hospital.

Design: The study adopts an effectiveness-implementation hybrid design (Type 1) to simultaneously evaluate the effectiveness of the care model and explore the implementation process.

Methods: The primary outcome, the 90-day rehospitalisation rate, will be evaluated using a matched-cohort design with a prospective intervention group and a retrospective control group.

Proteins' flexibility is a feature in communicating changes in cell signaling instigated by binding with secondary messengers, such as calcium ions, associated with the coordination of muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, and gene expression. When binding with the disordered parts of a protein, calcium ions must balance their charge states with the shape of calcium-binding proteins and their versatile pool of partners depending on the circumstances they transmit. Accurately determining the ionic charges of those ions is essential for understanding their role in such processes.

Background And Objectives: The key points of a monographic vascular access (VA) consultation are an adequate preoperative assessment, as well as a correct management and optimization of waiting lists. Our main objective of present study was to evaluate the degree of exploratory-dependent concordance in outpatient clinics regarding implanted VA, between nephrology and vascular surgery.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed VA created or surgically repaired between 2021 and 2022.
