A Bipyridine‐Palladium Derivative as General Pre‐Catalyst for Cross‐Coupling Reactions in Deep Eutectic Solvents
2019
A versatile and DES‐compatible bipyridine palladium complex has been developed as a general pre‐catalyst for different cross‐coupling reactions (Hiyama, Suzuki‐Miyaura, Heck‐Mizoroki and Sonogashira) in deep eutectic solvents. Hydrogen bond capacity of the ligand allows to keep the excellent level of results previously obtained in classical organic solvents. Palladium pre‐catalyst showed a high catalytic activity for many cross‐coupling reactions, demonstrating a great versatility and applicability. Also, this methodology employs sustainable solvents as a reaction medium and highlights the potential of DES as alternative solvents in organometallic catalysis. The catalyst and DES were easily…
Palladium Supported on Cross-Linked Imidazolium Network on Silica as Highly Sustainable Catalysts for the Suzuki Reaction under Flow Conditions
2013
Highly cross-linked imidazolium-based materials, obtained by radical oligomerization of bis-vinylimidazolium salts in the presence of 3-mercaptopropyl-modified silica gel, were used as supports for palladium catalysts. Thanks to the high imidazolium loading these materials were able to support a high amount of the metal (10 wt%). Such materials were characterized by several techniques (13C magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance, the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller technique, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy). The palladium catalysts displayed good activity allowing the synthesis of several biphenyl compounds in high yields working with only 0.1 mol% of …
Die bipolare Stimulation kann die Erfolgsrate des Peripheren Nervenevaluationstests der sakralen Neuromodulation verbessern
2017
Zusammenfassung Fragestellung Die vorliegende Studie vergleicht die unipolare und die bipolare Stimulationstechnik während des Peripheren Nervenevaluationstestes der Sakralen Neuromodulation in einer Kohorte von 100 Patienten mit nicht-neurogenen und neurogenen Harntraktfunktionsstörungen und überprüft die Hypothese, dass die bipolare Technik der unipolaren bezogen auf die Testeffektivität überlegen ist. Material und Methoden In diese Fall-Kontroll-Studie wurden 43 Patienten mit biopolarer und 57 Patienten mit unipolarer Stimulation eingeschlossen. Für die bipolare Stimulation wurden vier Elektroden an S3 und S4 beidseits platziert und die Elektroden von S3 und S4 jeder Seite elektrisch ver…
Fine-tuning halogen bonding properties of diiodine through halogen–halogen charge transfer – extended [Ru(2,2′-bipyridine)(CO)2X2]·I2 systems (X = Cl…
2016
The current paper introduces the use of carbonyl containing ruthenium complexes, [Ru(bpy)(CO)2X2] (X = Cl, Br, I), as halogen bond acceptors for a I2 halogen bond donor. In all structures, the metal coordinated halogenido ligand acts as the actual halogen bond acceptor. Diiodine, I2, molecules are connected to the metal complexes through both ends of the molecule forming bridges between the complexes. Due to the charge transfer from Ru–X to I2, formation of the first Ru–X⋯I2 contact tends to generate a negative charge on I2 and redistribute the electron density anisotropically. If the initial Ru–X⋯IA–IB interaction causes a notable change in the electron density of I2, the increased negativ…
Smoking cessation opportunities in severe mental illness (tobacco intensive motivational and estimate risk — TIMER—): study protocol for a randomized…
2019
There is an increased risk of premature death in people with severe mental illness (SMI). Respiratory disorders and cardiovascular disease are leading causes of increased mortality rates in these patients, and tobacco consumption remains the most preventable risk factor involved. Developing new tools to motivate patients towards cessation of smoking is a high priority. Information on the motivational value of giving the lung age and prevention opportunities is unknown in this high-risk population. In the context of community care, screening and early detection of lung damage could potentially be used, together with mobile technology, in order to produce a prevention message, which may provi…
Cardiac pacing in premature infants and neonates: steroid eluting leads and automatic output adaptation
1999
Abstract Background . Appropriate generator and lead selection as well as techniques of implantation are most important aspects of cardiac pacing in the extremely young patient. Here we report the clinical results using a new technique with automatic output adaptation based on evoked response in combination with steroid-eluting epicardial leads in small children. Methods . One neonate and 2 premature infants underwent permanent pacemaker implantation because of congenital high-degree atrioventricular block or postoperative complete heart block, respectively. Steroid-eluting epicardial leads and a multiprogrammable pacemaker with automatic output adaptation were used. Results . Intermuscular…
Mammalian BiP controls posttranslational ER translocation of the hepatitis B virus large envelope protein.
2008
AbstractThe hepatitis B virus L protein forms a dual topology in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via a process involving cotranslational membrane integration and subsequent posttranslational translocation of its preS subdomain. Here, we show that preS posttranslocation depends on the action of the ER chaperone BiP. To modulate the in vivo BiP activity, we designed an approach based on overexpressing its positive and negative regulators, ER-localized DnaJ-domain containing protein 4 (ERdj4) and BiP-associated protein (BAP), respectively. The feasibility of this approach was confirmed by demonstrating that BAP, but not ERdj4, destabilizes the L/BiP complex. Overexpressing BAP or ERdj4 inhibits…
Hierarchies of geometric entanglement
2007
We introduce a class of generalized geometric measures of entanglement. For pure quantum states of $N$ elementary subsystems, they are defined as the distances from the sets of $K$-separable states ($K=2,...,N$). The entire set of generalized geometric measures provides a quantification and hierarchical ordering of the different bipartite and multipartite components of the global geometric entanglement, and allows to discriminate among the different contributions. The extended measures are applied to the study of entanglement in different classes of $N$-qubit pure states. These classes include $W$ and $GHZ$ states, and their symmetric superpositions; symmetric multi-magnon states; cluster s…
Strong monogamy of bipartite and genuine multipartite entanglement: The Gaussian case
2007
We demonstrate the existence of general constraints on distributed quantum correlations, which impose a trade-off on bipartite and multipartite entanglement at once. For all N-mode Gaussian states under permutation invariance, we establish exactly a monogamy inequality, stronger than the traditional one, that by recursion defines a proper measure of genuine N-partite entanglement. Strong monogamy holds as well for subsystems of arbitrary size, and the emerging multipartite entanglement measure is found to be scale invariant. We unveil its operational connection with the optimal fidelity of continuous variable teleportation networks.
High-energy devices in different surgical settings: lessons learnt from a full health technology assessment report developed by SICE (Società Italian…
2022
Background The present paper aims at evaluating the potential benefits of high-energy devices (HEDs) in the Italian surgical practice, defining the comparative efficacy and safety profiles, as well as the potential economic and organizational advantages for hospitals and patients, with respect to standard monopolar or bipolar devices. Methods A Health Technology Assessment was conducted in 2021 assuming the hospital perspective, comparing HEDs and standard monopolar/bipolar devices, within eleven surgical settings: appendectomy, hepatic resections, colorectal resections, cholecystectomy, splenectomy, hemorrhoidectomy, thyroidectomy, esophago-gastrectomy, breast surgery, adrenalectomy, and p…
