This concept should be applied when managing older patients with severe aortic stenosis. This population of patients is increasingly being identified as having concomitant cardiac amyloidosis, which is an underrecognized cause of common cardiac conditions.

Methane against Methanol: The Tortoise and the Hare of the Oxidation Race.

J Phys Chem Lett

October 2023

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama 36849, United States.

The selective partial oxidation of methane to methanol has been a major chemistry challenge over the past several decades. The reason for this is that the weaker C-H bond of the desired product (methanol) is readily activated by the same catalyst used to activate the stronger C-H bond of methane. Quantum chemical calculations reveal how hydrogen-bonding interactions with the catalyst as well as other electronic and geometric effects slow the unwanted methanol oxidation reaction.

The Humanistic Approach to Aging and the Plastic Surgeon's Role.

J Craniofac Surg

October 2022

Department of Plastic Surgery, Inha University College of Medicine, Incheon, Korea.

The humanistic approach, including literature and arts, could be a tool for understanding the patient's mindset and establishing the surgeon's role. Dorian Gray syndrome, derived from a novel written by Oscar Wilde is a disease with three diagnostic criteria: body dysmorphic disorder, narcissistic regression, and denial of the maturation process. Suppressing patients' quest for youth is not possible by psychiatric methods.

Performance of Azure-winged magpies in Aesop's fable paradigm.

Sci Rep

January 2021

Lab of Animal Behavior and Conservation, School of Life Sciences, Nanjing University, Nanjing, 210023, Jiangsu, China.

In this study, the improved Aesop's fable paradigm-a series of experiments originally used to test whether some animals understand the causality associated with water replacement-was used to explore the cognitive ability of Azure-winged magpies (Cyanopica cyanus). Experimental results on causal cue tasks showed that the Azure-winged magpies prefer water-filled tubes over sand-filled tubes, heavy objects over light objects, and solid objects over hollow objects. However, they failed to notice the diameter and water level of the tubes.
