Molecular switching complexes with iron and tin as central atom
2009
Abstract The precursor [Fe III (L)Cl] (LH 2 = N , N ′-bis(2′-hydroxy-benzyliden)-1,6-diamino-3-N-hexane is a high-spin ( S = 5/2) complex. This precursor is combined with the bridging units [Sn IV (X) 4 ] (X = CN − , NCS − ) to yield star-shaped pentanuclear clusters, [(LFe III –X) 4 Sn]Cl 4 . For X = CN − the 57 Fe-Mossbauer data show a multiple spin transition between iron(III) in the high-spin and low-spin state, while the 119m Sn-Mossbauer data indicate a valence tautomerism between Sn(IV) and Sn(II). Changing the bridging unit from X = CN − to X = NCS − turns the switchability off.
Comparison between a guaiac and three immunochemical faecal occult blood tests in screening for colorectal cancer
2012
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the guaiac-based faecal occult blood test (G-FOBT), with that of three immunochemical faecal occult blood tests (I-FOBT) which allow automatic interpretation. Patients and methods Under the French organised screening programme, 85,149 average-risk individuals aged 50–74 participating in the third screening round, performed both the G-FOBT (Hemoccult-II test) and one of the I-FOBTs: FOB-Gold, Magstream and OC-Sensor. Results Given the chosen threshold, the positivity ratio between the different I-FOBTs and the G-FOBT was 2.4 for FOB-Gold, 2.0 for Magstream and 2.2 for OC-Sensor (P = 0.17). The three I-FOBTs were supe…
Mitochondrial DNA in the central european population
2000
Sequencing of mtDNA is an advanced method for the individualisation of traces. Disadvantages of this method are expensive and time-consuming analysis and evaluation procedures as well as the necessary stock of population-genetic data which is still insufficient. Central European institutes of forensic medicine from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland have been working together since the beginning of 1998 to establish a mtDNA database. The aim is to build up a large stock of forensically established data and provide population-genetic data for frequency investigations, which will serve as a basis for expert opinions and scientific research. Good data quality is ensured by using original sequen…
