A series of substituted 2-pyridyl-6,7-dihydro-3H,5H-pyrrolo[2,3-f]benzimidazol-6-ones 1-24 were synthesized and evaluated for positive inotropic activity. In rats, cats, and dogs most of these tricyclic heterocycles produced a dose-related increase in myocardial contractility with little effect on heart rate and blood pressure. The increase in contractility was not mediated via stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors. Compound 1 (BM 14.478) was more potent than milrinone (25) and enoximone when administered intravenously to rats, cats, and dogs. After oral administration of 1 mg/kg, compound 1, milrinone, and pimobendan were equipotent. However, only 1 and pimobendan were still active after 6 h. The structural requirements necessary for optimal cardiotonic activity within this novel class of heterocycles were investigated.

Flexible and modular latent transition analysis-A tutorial using R.
PLoS One

National Institute of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark, Copenhagen K, Denmark.
Latent transition analysis (LTA) is a useful statistical modelling approach for describe transitions between latent classes over time. LTA may be characterized in terms of prevalence at each time point and through transition probabilities over time. Investigating predictors of these transitions is often of key interest.

Survival analysis is critical in many fields, particularly in healthcare where it can guide medical decisions. Conventional survival analysis methods like Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models to generate survival curves indicating probability of survival v. time have limitations, especially for long-term prediction, due to assumptions that all instances follow a general population-level survival curve.

Aqueous zinc-iodine batteries (AZIBs) are gaining attention as next-generation energy storage systems due to their high theoretical capacity, enhanced safety, and cost-effectiveness. However, their practical application is hindered by challenges such as slow reaction kinetics and the persistent polyiodide shuttle effect. To address these limitations, we developed a novel class of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) featuring electron-rich nitrogen sites with varied density and distribution (N1-N4) along the pore walls.

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) play crucial disinfectant roles in healthcare, industry, and domestic settings. Most commercially utilized QACs like benzalkonium chloride have a common architectural theme, leading to a rise in bacterial resistance and urgent need for novel structural classes. Some potent QACs such as chlorhexidine (CHX) and octenidine (OCT) feature a bolaamphiphilic architecture, comprised of two cationic centers at the molecular periphery and a non-polar region connecting them; these compounds show promise to elude bacterial resistance mechanisms.
