It is hard to find new electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophores using existing research strategies, especially from ECL non-active monomers. Here, fully conjugated covalent organic frameworks with trithiophene (BTT-COFs) are found have ultra-high efficiencies (up 62.2%), even in water and without exogenous co-reactants. Quantum chemistry calculations confirm that the periodic BTT-COFs arrays...

OBJECTIVES Results of butanol threshold tests (BTTs) have shown that birhinal olfaction tends to converge toward monorhinal olfaction of the dominant nostril. However, birhinal olfaction may also be worse than dominant-side monorhinal olfaction. The goal of our study was to investigate the effect of deviated nasal septum on birhinal olfaction in patients with lateralized olfaction and to examin...

A bis-β-diketone, bis(4,4,4-trifluoro-1,3-dioxobutyl)(2,2'-bithienyl) (BTT), which can be looked upon as coupling of two mono-β-diketones (2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone, TTA) at the 5,5'-position of thiophene ring, has been designed for exploring the advantages of binuclear helical structure in sensitizing the lanthanide NIR luminescence. The Yb(iii) ion was selected as the luminescent center, and ...

Since the introduction of combined antiretroviral (cART), life expectancy of HIV-1 infected patients increased up to be comparable to non-HIV-1 infected population. Several studies reported early occurrence of aging-related effects in HIV-1 infected patient such as reduced bone quality and osteoporosis1-5. This condition is currently considered the result of the interplay among host, HIV-relate...

The World Health Organization recommends a collection rate of 10-20 whole blood units per 1000 inhabitants to address transfusion needs(1). However, demand for blood is ever-increasing as medicine continuous to develop(2). Donor selection is critical to blood transfusion safety and blood donor eligibility policies are designed to protect both the donor and the recipient(1,3). Donors with relati...

Introduction: Many medical faculties are introducing faculty development programmes to train their teaching staff with the aim of improving student learning performance. Frequently changing parameters within faculties pose a challenge for the sustainable establishment of such programmes. In this paper, we aim to describe facilitating and hindering parameters using the example of the basic teach...

Background: β-Thalassaemia syndromes are a group of hereditary disorders characterised by a genetic deficiency in the synthesis of β-globin chains due to a defect in β-globin genes. The objective of this study was to determine the haematological features of β-thalassaemia trait (BTT), and to determine the sensitivity of Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH) and Mentz...

Destination therapy (DT) is the indication to implant a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in patient with stage D heart failure who not candidate for transplantation. The implantable LVAD has been utilized Japan since 2011 under of bridge transplant (BTT). After almost 10 year lag, DT finally approved and reimbursed May 2021 Japan. To initiate program Japan, revision from BTT necessary. Als...
