The article is devoted to Leo Tolstoy's ideas about breastfeeding that he expressed eloquently in his novels, educational articles, and philosophical essays. Tolstoy's perspective on breastfeeding is discussed in his novella and in his nonfiction of the late 1880s. His basic ideas had been shaped through his own experience and family life. Also important was his correspondence with the American physician, Alice Bunker Stockham, MD, an author of , and Tolstoy's editorial work on the medical brochure written by the head of Moscow Children's Hospital, E.A. Pokrovsky. Tolstoy's literary and historical accounts of breastfeeding promotion can help to understand the current day practices and ways in which cultural traditions are incorporated into infant care in contemporary Russia.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury increases myocardial microvascular permeability, leading to enhanced microvascular filtration and interstitial fluid accumulation that is associated with greater microvascular obstruction and inadequate myocardial perfusion. A burst of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory mediators during reperfusion causes myosin light chain kinase (MLCK)-dependent endothelial hyperpermeability, which is considered a preventable cause of reperfusion injury. In the present study, a single intravenous injection of MLCK peptide inhibitor PIK7 (2.

In this computational work we study complexes with two equivalent intermolecular hydrogen bonds formed between trimethyl phosphine oxide and two identical proton donors ("twin" hydrogen bonds) for a set of 70 proton donor molecules. The changes in the phosphorus chemical shift and stretching frequency of the PO group upon complexation correlate quite well with the total strength of two hydrogen bonds. A set of explicit numerical dependences is proposed for assessing interatomic distances and hydrogen bond strengths from spectral data.

Article Synopsis
- Hidden biases in non-randomized studies challenge the identification of causal protein biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease, and traditional methods can lead to misleading results.
- The MR-SPI method enhances Mendelian randomization by selecting valid pQTL instruments, addressing some of these biases and integrating structural predictions from AlphaFold3.
- Using data from over 500,000 individuals, researchers identified seven proteins with structural changes linked to Alzheimer's, contributing to understanding the disease's causes and potential treatment targets.
Deep eutectic solvent as stationary phase for flow analysis: Automated trace metal determination in food products.

Background: Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have emerged as effective solvents that address many challenges in analytical chemistry, particularly in microextraction. However, until now, their use has been primarily focused on extraction processes. This has significantly limited their application in analytical chemistry, especially in flow analysis, where the high viscosity of DES has made their use difficult.
