As part of the United Nations 2019 celebration of the periodic table of elements, we are privileged to present our studies with the element manganese in this Forum Article series. Catalysis with organomanganese(I) complexes has recently emerged as an important area with the discovery that pincer manganese(I) complexes that can activate substrates through metal-ligand cooperative mechanisms are active (de)hydrogenation catalysts. However, this rapidly growing field faces several challenges, and we identify these in this Forum Article. Some of our efforts in addressing these challenges include using alternative precursors to Mn(CO)Br to prepare manganese(I) dicarbonyl complexes, the latter of which is usually a component of active catalysts. Specifically, the synthesis of a new bidentate phosphine-phenol ligand along with its corresponding coordination chemistry of five new manganese(I) complexes is described. The complexes having two phenol-phenolate moieties interact with the secondary coordination sphere to enable facile loss of the bromido ligand and even one of the CO ligands to afford manganese(I) dicarbonyl centers.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer treatment but are frequently associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs). This article offers a novel synthesis of findings from both preclinical and clinical studies, focusing on the molecular mechanisms driving irAEs across diverse organ systems. It examines key immune cells, such as T cell subsets and myeloid cells, which are instrumental in irAE pathogenesis, alongside an in-depth analysis of cytokine signaling [interleukin (IL)-6, IL-17, IL-4), interferon γ (IFN-γ), IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)], integrin-mediated interactions [integrin subunits αITGA)4 and ITGB7], and microbiome-related factors that contribute to irAE pathology.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of primary liver cancer, with cirrhosis being its strongest risk factor. Interestingly, an increasing number of HCC cases is also observed without cirrhosis. We developed an HCC model via intrasplenic injection of highly tumorigenic HCC cells, which, due to cellular tropism, invade the liver and allow for a controllable disease progression.

Obesity, a pandemic, worldwide afflicts almost one billion people. Obesity and ageing share several pathological pathways leading to neurological disorders. However, due to a lack of suitable animal models, the long-term effects of obesity on age-related disorders- cognitive impairment and dementia have not yet been thoroughly investigated.

Many peer-review processes involve reviewers submitting their independent reviews, followed by a discussion between the reviewers of each paper. A common question among policymakers is whether the reviewers of a paper should be anonymous to each other during the discussion. We shed light on this question by conducting a randomized controlled trial at the Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI) 2022 conference where reviewer discussions were conducted over a typed forum.

We aimed to design a diagnostic decision support which classifies dyspnoeic ED visits into acute heart failure (AHF), exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (eCOPD), pneumonia and "other diagnoses" by using deep learning and complete, unselected data from an entire regional health care system.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included all dyspnoeic ED visits of patients ≥ 18 years of age at the two EDs in the region of Halland, Sweden, 07/01/2017-12/31/2019.
