A series containing the highest nuclearity polyoxoniobate (PONb) nanoclusters, ranging from dimers to tetramers, has been obtained. They include one 114-nuclear {Li ⊂Nb O }, one 81-nuclear {Li K⊂Nb O }, and one 52-nuclear {H Nb O }. The Nb nuclearity of these PONbs is remarkably larger than those of all known high-nuclearity PONbs (≤32). Furthermore, the introduction of 3d Cu ions can lead to the generation of extended inorganic-organic hybrid frameworks built from novel, high-nuclearity, nanoscale heterometallic PONb building blocks {H Cu Nb O } or {H Cu (en)Nb O }. These building blocks also contain the largest number of Nb centers of any heterometallic PONbs reported to date. The synthesis of new-type PONbs has long been a challenging subject in PONb chemistry.

Background: Integrating technology in the cognitive assessment process could help with dementia care and management (Astell et al., 2019). The aim of this research was to assess the sensitivity and specificity, as well as establish regression-based norms, for the digital version of the Neurocognitive Frailty Index (NFI, Pakzad et al.

Background: Food insecurity is associated with high morbidity and mortality and is typically measured with the 10-item US Adult Food Security Survey Module. Shorter instruments may capture similar information, but this has not been validated against mortality in general populations.

Methods: A nationally representative sample of individuals aged 20 to 74 years from the US National Health Interview Survey 2011 to 2018 was included, with deaths linked to the National Death Index through 2019.

Background: Postpartum hypertension is a key factor in racial-ethnic inequities in maternal mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that experiences of racism, both structural and interpersonal, may contribute to disparities. We examined associations between gendered racial microaggressions (GRMs) during obstetric care with postpartum blood pressure (BP).

The reaction chemistry of an unprecedented 'inorganic cumulene' - featuring a five-atom BNBNB chain - towards C[double bond, length as m-dash]O (and related) multiple bonds is disclosed. In marked contrast to related all-carbon systems, the intrinsic polarity of the BNBNB chain (featuring electron-rich nitrogen and electron-deficient boron centres) enables metathesis chemistry with electrophilic heteroallenes such as CO and with organic carbonyl compounds. Transfer of the borylimide unit to [CO], [CS], [PP{(NDippCH)}] and [C(H)Ph] moieties generates (boryl)N[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]X systems (X = O, S, PP{(NDippCH)}, C(H)Ph), driven thermodynamically by B-O bond formation.

Twisting 2D van der Waals magnets allows the formation and control of different spin-textures, as skyrmions or magnetic domains. Beyond the rotation angle, different spin reversal processes can be engineered by increasing the number of magnetic layers forming the twisted van der Waals heterostructure. Here, pristine monolayers and bilayers of the A-type antiferromagnet CrSBr are considered as building blocks.
