Synthesis, mixed-spin-state structure and Langmuir-Blodgett deposition of amphiphilic Fe(iii) quinolylsalicylaldiminate complexes.

Designing and integrating Fe(iii)-based spin crossover (SCO) complexes onto substrates remains a challenging goal with only a handful of examples reported. In this work, we successfully synthesized and characterized three [Fe(qsal-OR)]NO (qsal-OR = 5-alkoxy-2-[(8-quinolylimino)methyl]phenolate) complexes, in which R = CH1, CH2, and CH3 to explore the impact of alkyl chain on the modulation of SCO activity and potential for self-assembly on a glass surface. The SCO is found to be gradual and incomplete in all cases, with the LS state more stabilised as the alkyl group shortens.

Atrial fibrillation incidence and outcomes in two cohorts of octogenarians: LiLACS NZ.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia in the general population, has significant healthcare burden. Little is known about AF in octogenarians.

Objective: To describe the prevalence and incidence rate of AF in New Zealand (NZ) octogenarians and the risk of stroke and mortality at 5-year follow-up.

Enablers and barriers of first-year common semesters and semester-long courses aimed at interprofessional collaborative practice capability development: A scoping review.

Designing a first-year undergraduate common semester aimed at developing interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) capabilities is challenging. A scoping review was conducted to identify enablers and barriers for common semesters. Due to limited numbers of eligible studies, the review was expanded to include studies of semester-long first-year courses aimed at IPCP development.

A CREATIVE approach to designing a contemporary medical curriculum.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. In medical education, Outcome-based Education (OBE) is facing many challenges due to the rapid proliferation in biomedical sciences; technology-enhanced learning; globalization of health system, and the availability of various pedagogical techniques.

The antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibition properties of essential oil from the peel of Chinese Fort.

The antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibition properties of essential oil from the peel of Chinese Fort. (CTGF oil) were investigated. The antioxidant properties of CTGF oil were evaluated 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging tests, and it showed an IC value of 0.
