Objective: To investigate the safety and effectiveness of implanting temporary pacemakers using ultrasound-guidance at the bedside for rescuing patients in case of cardiac emergencies.
Methods: We enrolled 194 patients with cardiac emergencies requiring temporary pacemakers in this study, and randomly assigned them to either a bedside ultrasound-guided installation group or an electrocardiogram-guided installation group. There were 105 cases in the bedside ultrasound-guided installation group, aged approximately 66.3 ± 10.2 years, and 89 cases in the electrocardiogram-guided installation group, aged approximately 65.8 ± 9.5 years old, and disease composition was similar between the two groups. We then compared the duration of the procedure, success rates, and occurrence of adverse events between the two groups.
Results: The two groups showed similar clinical characteristics. The success rates of venipuncture and temporary pacemaker electrode placement were both 100% in the bedside ultrasound-guided installation group, compared to 87.8% and 96.7% respectively, in the electrocardiogram-guided installation group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The duration of puncture was significantly shorter in the bedside ultrasound-guided installation group than in the electrocardiogram-guided installation group, with statistically significant differences. Moreover, no adverse events such as hematoma, pneumothorax and electrode dislodgement occurred in the bedside ultrasound-guided installation group, while 13 cases in the electrocardiogram-guided installation group experienced adverse events, and the difference was statistically significant.
Conclusions: The bedside installation of temporary pacemakers using ultrasound guidance is a simple, safe, effective, and cost-efficient procedure that boasts a high success rate, does not involve radiation, and enables accurate placement of the electrode catheter.

Introduction: Implantology has become a primary solution for tooth loss due to excellent osseointegration and high long-term success rates. However, complications such as abutment screw loosening, especially in implant-supported single crowns, compromise prosthesis longevity. Anaerobic adhesives (AAs) have shown promise in mechanical fields for preventing screw loosening, but their effectiveness in dental implants, particularly zirconia, remains uncertain.

Although electrostatic catalysis can enhance the kinetics and selectivity of reactions to produce greener synthetic processes, the highly directional nature of electrostatic interactions has limited widespread application. In this study, the influence of oriented electric fields (OEF) on radical addition and atom abstraction reactions are systematically explored with ion-trap mass spectrometry using structurally diverse distonic radical ions that maintain spatially separated charge and radical moieties. When installed on rigid molecular scaffolds, charged functional groups lock the magnitude and orientation of the internal electric field with respect to the radical site, creating an OEF which tunes the reactivity across the set of gas-phase carbon-centred radical reactions.

Despite the growing importance of planar chiral macrocyclophanes owing to their unique properties in different areas of chemistry, methods that are effective in controlling their planar chirality are restricted to certain molecular scaffolds. Herein, we report the first Pd(0)-catalyzed enantioselective intermolecular C-H arylation that induces planar chirality by installing bulky aryl groups through dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR). A computer-assisted approach allowed a fine-tuning of the structure of the employed chiral bifunctional phosphine-carboxylate ligands to achieve high enantioselectivities.

Polysulfides play an essential role across a variety of fields, including life sciences, pharmaceuticals, food science, and materials science. However, the controlled sequential installation of groups at both ends of an S-S motif poses enormous challenges due to the reversible nature of the covalent S-S bond. The application of unique disulfide reagents presents one of the most straightforward approaches for constructing diverse polysulfides.

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death among adults in Germany. There is evidence that occupational exposure to particulate matter, noise, psychosocial stressors, shift work and high physical workload are associated with CHD. The aim of this study is to identify occupations that are associated with CHD and to elaborate on occupational exposures associated with CHD by using the job exposure matrix (JEM) BAuA-JEM ETB 2018 in a German study population.
