A Dynamic Metal-Organic Radical Emission System.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

December 2024

Donghua University - Songjiang Campus: Donghua University, College of chemistry, chemical engineering and biotechnology, 2999 Renmin North Road, Shanghai, 201620, Shanghai, CHINA.

Developing new organic radical emission systems and regulating their luminescence properties presents a significant challenge. Herein, we build dynamic and multi-emission band radical luminescence systems by co-assembling inorganic metal salts with carbonyl compounds in ionic liquids. After the assembling, dual-band, and excitation wavelength-dependent emission was observed upon light irradiation, one emission band originates from carbonyl radical after light irradiation, the other band from the ligand-metal charge transfer (LMCT) state, which benefits from the charge transfer from the radicals to the metal salts.

Wave-particle duality is one of the most notable and counterintuitive features of quantum mechanics, illustrating that two incompatible observables cannot be measured simultaneously with arbitrary precision. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate the equivalence of wave-particle duality and entropic uncertainty relations using orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of light. Our experiment uses an innovative and reconfigurable platform composed of few-mode optical fibers and photonic lanterns, showcasing the versatility of this technology for quantum information processing.

The global shortage of surgical and anesthesiologic specialists is partly overbridged by task sharing to unspecialized physicians (often called "medical officers" and non-physician staff (often called »associate clinicians"). Task sharing is defined as the delegation of specific tasks from those who traditionally carry them out, to someone with shorter training. There is ample evidence for good patient outcomes after surgeries carried out through task sharing to associate clinicians, especially for hernia repairs, acute laparotomies, orthopaedic surgeries, and caesarean sections.

universitetslektor, tillämpad etik, avdelningen för filosofi och tillämpad etik, institutionen för kultur och samhälle; Prioriteringscentrum, institutionen för hälsa, medicin och vård, Linköpings universitet.

In this article we discuss some ethically and legally controversial issues in the Swedish priority guidelines for intensive care during the recent covid pandemic. We show how the Swedish ethics platform for priority setting constitutes a robust starting point for such guidance, but that there is a lack of detail leaving some of the more challenging situations without explicit guidance. To provide guidance, which we have reason to do in order to avoid inequality and arbitrariness, we should try to interpret the ethics platform, based on how it is applied in practice together with ethical reasoning.

September 2024

med dr, överläkare, anestesi och intensivvårdskliniken, Vrinnevisjukhuset, Norrköping; torax-kärlkliniken, Universitetssjukhuset i Linköping; Linköpings universitet.

The Swedish Intensive Care Registry collects and analyses data regarding intensive care in Sweden. Based on this data an overview can be created regarding available hospital beds and occupancy rates in Swedish intensive care, as well as demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, and their survival. Through this, identification of patient groups with poorer prognosis is possible, facilitating reflection of the appropriateness of intensive care and invasive procedures that may cause discomfort to the patient.

Introduction: Observational studies are fraught with several biases including reverse causation and residual confounding. Overview of reviews of observational studies (ie, umbrella reviews) synthesise systematic reviews with or without meta-analyses of cross-sectional, case-control and cohort studies, and may also aid in the grading of the credibility of reported associations. The number of published umbrella reviews has been increasing.

Group III-nitride semiconductors have been subject of intensive research, resulting in the maturing of the material system and adoption of III-nitrides in modern optoelectronics and power electronic devices. Defined film polarity is an important aspect of III-nitride epitaxy as the polarity affects the design of electronic devices. Magnetron sputtering is a novel approach for cost-effective epitaxy of III-nitrides nearing the technological maturity needed for device production; therefore, control of film polarity is an important technological milestone.

Article Synopsis
  • * Drugs like antidepressants, antihistamines, and diuretics can cause dry mouth (hyposalivation), increasing the risk of other conditions like oral candidosis, especially with multiple medications involved.
  • * Effective risk reduction involves good oral hygiene and communication between medical and dental professionals, as doctors may overlook oral health while dentists might lack information about a patient's medications.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of sentinel node biopsy in detecting node-positive disease in women with vulvar squamous cell carcinoma, focusing on larger tumors (≥4 cm), multifocal tumors, and locally recurrent cases.
  • Conducted from December 2019 to December 2022, the study included 64 women, with high detection rates (94.1-100%) and a 100% negative predictive value in the larger and multifocal tumor groups, indicating reliable results.
  • The findings suggest that the sentinel node technique could be considered more widely for women with larger or multifocal tumors, based on the significant detections and the presence of micrometastases in some cases.*
