The reactivity between NaH and H has been investigated through a series of high-temperature experiments up to pressures of 78 GPa in diamond anvil cells combined with calculations. Powder X-ray diffraction measurements show that heating NaH in an excess of H to temperatures around 2000 K above 27 GPa yields sodium trihydride (NaH), which adopts an orthorhombic structure (space group ). Raman spectroscopy measurements indicate that NaH hosts quasi-molecular hydrogen () within a NaH lattice, with the stretching mode downshifted compared to pure H (Δ ∼-120 cm at 50 GPa). NaH is stable under room temperature compression to at least 78 GPa, and exhibits remarkable stability, decomposing at pressures below 18 GPa. Contrary to previous experimental and theoretical studies, heating NaH (or NaH) in excess H between 27 and 75 GPa does not promote further hydrogenation to form sodium polyhydrides other than NaH.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant gastrointestinal tract disorder with high occurrence and mortality index and showing an upsurge. Standard therapies for treating CRC are surgery and chemotherapy. Despite great effort in developing effective treatments, the progress is limited due to its relapse and recurrence.

Background: Vertebral fractures are a common medical issue. Physical activity helps improve bone health and manage the risk of fractures. However, much controversy exists about the association between physical activity and vertebral fractures.

Symmetrical bis(hydrazone)-based ligands, Hdar(bhz) (), Hdar(fah) (), Hdar(nah) (), and Hdar(inh) () obtained from 4,6-diacetylresorcinol (Hdar) and different hydrazides [benzoylhydrazide (Hbhz), isonicotinoylhydrazide (Hinh), nicotinoylhydrazide (Hnah), and 2-furoylhydrazide (Hfah)], were used to prepare potassium salts of binuclear -[VO] complexes, {K(HO)}[(VO)dar(bhz)] (), {K(HO)}[(VO)dar(fah)] (), {K(HO)}[(VO)dar(nah)] (), and {K(HO)}[(VO)dar(inh)] (), and binuclear [VO] complexes, [{VO(MeOH)}dar(bhz)] (), [{VO(MeOH)}dar(fah)] (), [{VO(MeOH)}dar(nah)] (), and [{VO(MeOH)}dar(inh)] (). In the presence of warm MeOH/DMSO (4:1), changed to {K(HO)}[(VO)Hdar(nah)]DMSO (·DMSO). Single crystal XRD studies of and confirm a binuclear structure along with a distorted square pyramidal geometry of each vanadium center where bis{ONO(2-)} ligands coordinate through phenolate-O, azomethine-N, and enolate-O atoms of each unit.

Backgrounds/aims: We compared the postoperative outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) with those of single-incision robotic cholecystectomy (SIRC) using the da Vinci Xi and SP systems.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 206 patients who underwent these procedures by a single surgeon between August 2020 and April 2022. Propensity score matching was used to adjust for confounders and evaluate outcomes.

Background: Support for the treatment of uncomplicated appendicitis with non-operative management rather than surgery has been increasing in the literature. We aimed to investigate whether treatment of uncomplicated appendicitis with antibiotics in children is inferior to appendicectomy by comparing failure rates for the two treatments.
Methods: In this pragmatic, multicentre, parallel-group, unmasked, randomised, non-inferiority trial, children aged 5-16 years with suspected non-perforated appendicitis (based on clinical diagnosis with or without radiological diagnosis) were recruited from 11 children's hospitals in Canada, the USA, Finland, Sweden, and Singapore.
