The H NMR spectrum of phenyl C butyric acid methyl ester ([60]PCBM) was recorded at high resolution (600 MHz). All of the H resonances expected of the -symmetric molecule were observed. The spin-spin couplings in the H NMR spectrum were not as expected at first order. Instead, the effects of AA'BB'-type second-order couplings were clearly observed for the protons attached to both ester carbons C3 and C4, which were analyzed in terms of seven coupling constants. This indicates that there is no free rotation of the σ bonds of the alkyl chain in the ester group, although rotation becomes free at a larger distance from the fullerene bridge carbon (C61). The H NMR results further indicated that there is a 1:6:1 population ratio of the three staggered conformers (::') about the ester group C3-C4 bond. These results may aid in the understanding of the morphological interactions between [60]PCBM and its surroundings in condensed-phase organic electronic devices such as organic and perovskite photovoltaics.

Application and interpretation of core elements of the 2015 NMOSD diagnostic criteria in routine clinical practice.

Background: We evaluated comprehension and application of the 2015 neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) criteria core elements by neurologists in Latin America (LATAM) who routinely diagnose and care for NMOSD patients by (i) identifying typical/suggestive NMOSD syndromes, (ii) detecting typical MRI NMOSD lesions and meeting MRI dissemination in space (DIS) criteria, and (iii) evaluating historical symptoms suggestive of NMOSD.
Methods: We conducted an anonymous, voluntary, self-administered web- and case-based survey cross-sectional study from October 2023 to January 2024 of neurologists identified through the LACTRIMS database. Questions were presented first through iterative clinical cases or imaging, followed by questions directly evaluating comprehension of definitions.
Comparison of different group-level templates in gradient-based multimodal connectivity analysis.

The study of large-scale brain connectivity is increasingly adopting unsupervised approaches that derive low-dimensional spatial representations from high-dimensional connectomes, referred to as gradient analysis. When translating this approach to study interindividual variations in connectivity, one technical issue pertains to the selection of an appropriate group-level template to which individual gradients are aligned. Here, we compared different group-level template construction strategies using functional and structural connectome data from neurotypical controls and individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to identify between-group differences.

Pseudo-3D HSQC provides an alternative and easy way to record and analyze quantitative HSQC-data. In the original time-zero extrapolated H-C HSQC (HSQC), three separate 2D constant-time (CT) HSQC-experiments (HSQC, i = 1-3) are acquired, where either 1,2 or 3 consecutive CT-HSQC-propagators are repeated in each pulse sequence, and the 2D integral data from the three 2D experiments is analyzed via linear regression. In the presented pseudo-3D HSQC, HSQC is one of the dimensions and all data is contained within one dataset, which is recorded in interleaved manner by acquiring the same t-value for each HSQC-point before t-incrementation.

The Restriction Spectrum Imaging restriction score (RSIrs) has been shown to improve the accuracy for diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) compared to standard DWI. Both diffusion and T properties of prostate tissue contribute to the signal measured in DWI, and studies have demonstrated that each may be valuable for distinguishing csPCa from benign tissue. The purpose of this retrospective study was to (1) determine whether prostate T varies across RSI compartments and in the presence of csPCa, and (2) evaluate whether csPCa detection with RSIrs is improved by acquiring multiple scans at different TEs to measure compartmental T (cT).
