Second asymptomatic carotid surgery trial (ACST-2): a randomised comparison of carotid artery stenting versus carotid endarterectomy.
Summary Background Among asymptomatic patients with severe carotid artery stenosis but no recent stroke or transient cerebral ischaemia, either carotid artery stenting (CAS) or carotid endarterectomy (CEA) can restore patency and reduce long-term stroke risks. However, from recent national registry data, each option causes about 1% procedural risk of disabling stroke or death. Comparison of their long-term protective effects requires large-scale randomised evidence. Methods ACST-2 is an international multicentre randomised trial of CAS versus CEA among asymptomatic patients with severe stenosis thought to require intervention, interpreted with all other relevant trials. Patients were eligib…
Kinetics of the formation reactions of trichloro- and tribromomethyl hypohalites and alcohols in the gas-phase: Theoretical study
Abstract The CX3OY molecules (X = Cl, Br and Y = H, F, Cl, Br) can be formed in the atmosphere by the recombination CX3 + OY and CX3O + Y reactions. In the present study the results of a theoretical analysis of the kinetics and thermochemistry of this class of reactions are performed. The molecular properties of the reactants and products were derived from ab initio calculations. The high-pressure limiting rate constants for the recombination reactions were evaluated using a version of the statistical adiabatic channel model. The kinetic equations derived in this study allow a description of the kinetics of the reactions under investigation in the temperature range of 200–400 K.
USEDAT: USA-Europe Data Analysis Training Worldwide Program, 2019 ed.
USA-Europe Data Analysis Training School (USEDAT) is a Multi-center Trans-Atlantic initiative offering hands-on training focused in both Introduction to Experimental Data Recording (NMR, MS, IR, 2DGE, EEG, etc.) and/or posterior Computational Data Analysis (Machine Learning, Complex Networks, etc.). We made emphasis on applications in for Cheminformatics, Bioinformatics, Medicinal Chemistry, Nanotechnology, Systems Biology, Biomedical Engineering, etc. The school also promotes training and knowledge of ethical and legal regulatory issues (GDPR, REACH, OECD, FDA, etc.) about data use and data protection in chemistry and biomedical research. The school is directed to researchers and students …
