Periodic DFT calculations allow an understanding of the strong orientation-dependent Raman spectra of oriented CaFeO2.5 single crystals. Modes involving the oscillation of the apical oxygen (O(ap)) atoms perturb the induced electric dipoles. These are formed by anisotropy in the charge distribution and are found to be strongly enhanced when the electric field of the linearly polarized laser line is parallel to the b axis. For the CaFeO2.5 ordered system, strong polarizability of these modes corresponds to strong Raman intensities. Conversely, the apical oxygen disorder observed in low-temperature oxygen-conducting SrFeO2.5 destroys the long-range coherence of the respective Raman modes, which consequently show a strongly reduced intensity. This study provides a vibrational tool to discriminate between ordered and disordered isomorporphous ABO2.5 Brownmillerite frameworks. Furthermore, in combination with DFT calculations, we have found that the weakening of the interlayer interactions is responsible for the loss of ordering in Brownmillerite compounds.

Introduction: The aim of the observational SIMPLE study was to assess real-life effectiveness and safety of a single-pill combination (SPC) of perindopril arginine/amlodipine in a broad range of subjects with newly diagnosed mild-to-moderate hypertension treated in Canadian general practice.

Methods: Treatment-naïve participants aged 18-65 years with mild-to-moderate hypertension, whose physicians decided to initiate the perindopril/amlodipine SPC, were recruited from Canadian clinical practice from October 2017 to February 2019. Participants were followed at 3- (M3) and 6-month (M6) visits after treatment initiation.

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with exacerbations which can reduce quality of life and increase mortality. Single-inhaler triple therapy (SITT) is recommended for maintenance treatment of COPD among patients experiencing exacerbations despite dual-therapy use. This real-world comparative effectiveness study compared the impact of SITTs, fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI), and budesonide/glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate (BUD/GLY/FORM), on COPD exacerbations and mortality.

Background: Interventricular dyssynchrony derived from the classic non-physiological stimulation (n-PS) of the right ventricle (RV) is a known cause of left ventricular dysfunction (LVDys).

Methods: This was a prospective descriptive single-center study. We analyzed patients who develop LVDys with n-PS, and the results after upgrading to conduction system pacing (CSP).
