We studied NaSCN(HO) clusters in the gas phase using size-selected anion photoelectron spectroscopy. Vertical detachment energies (VDEs) of NaSCN(HO) ( = 0-6) clusters were obtained in the experiment. Structures of NaSCN(HO) ( = 0-6) clusters and their corresponding neutral counterparts were investigated by theoretical calculations. Our studies show that the Na-NCS type of structures rather than the Na-SCN type of structures are dominant in the gas phase for both anionic and neutral NaSCN(HO) clusters. For NaSCN(HO) anions, the contact ion pair (CIP) and solvent-separated ion pair (SSIP) type of structures coexist at = 2 and 3, the SSIP type of structures become dominant at ≥ 4. For neutral NaSCN(HO), the CIP type of structures are dominant from = 1 to 6 and the SSIP type of structures start to appear at = 6. The gas phase structures in this work support the existence of ion clustering in concentrated NaSCN aqueous solutions.

Male infertility is a common complication of diabetes. Diabetes leads to the decrease of zinc (Zn) content, which is a necessary trace element to maintain the normal structure and function of reproductive organs and spermatogenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of metformin combined with zinc on testis and sperm in diabetic mice.

Context: DNAN/DNB cocrystals, as a newly developed type of energetic material, possess superior safety and thermal stability, making them a suitable alternative to traditional melt-cast explosives. Nonetheless, an exploration of the thermal degradation dynamics of the said cocrystal composite has heretofore remained uncharted. Consequently, we engaged the ReaxFF/lg force field modality to delve into the thermal dissociation processes of the DNAN/DNB cocrystal assembly across a spectrum of temperatures, encompassing 2500, 2750, 3000, 3250, and 3500 K.

Purpose Of Review: Addressing diabetes distress (DD), the emotional demands of living with diabetes, is a crucial component of diabetes care. Most individuals with type 2 diabetes and approximately half of adults with type 1 diabetes receive their care in the primary care setting. This review will provide guidance on addressing DD and implementing targeted techniques that can be tailored to primary care patients.

Background: Trials conducted in highly selected populations have shown that type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission is possible, but the feasibility and acceptability of supporting remission in routine clinical practice remain uncertain.

Aim: We explored primary care professionals' perceptions and understandings of T2D remission and their views about supporting remission within routine clinical care.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 GPs and nine nurses working in Scottish general practices.
