The structure of the title compound, C(26)H(29)NO(7), at 173 K has an inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. This is one of the few examples where a mono-ketone penta-cyclo-undecane (PCU) mol-ecule exibits hydrogen bonding in the solid state. The dihedral angles of the amide and ester groups are normal and unaffected by the cage structure. A longer than normal C-C bond [1.571 (4) Å] was found wit...

INTRODUCTION Although specialized palliative care services in rural areas are scarce, many people who are dying, and their families, want to remain in their homes or within their own community. As such, semirural communities across Canada have developed a variety of initiatives to address this need. The purpose of our paper is to describe a semirural palliative care program located in British C...

Deactivation of the human brain's default mode network (DMN) is regarded as suppression of endogenous activity to support exogenous task-related processes. This phenomenon has important functional relevance and insufficient DMN deactivation has been implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the neurochemical mechanism of the DMN's deactivation remains largely unknown. In the pr...

INTRODUCTION Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is the drug of choice for the prevention and control of seizures in the management of severe preeclampsia/eclampsia. Several barriers have been identified in the use of MgSO4, especially in low and middle-income settings. OBJECTIVE To describe the obstetrician's perception on possible reasons for underutilizing magnesium sulfate to treat preeclampsia/ecl...

Three-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (3D COFs) with a pcu topology have been obtained from distorted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons acting as triangular antiprismatic (D3d ) nodes. Such 3D COFs are six-fold interpenetrated the result of interframework ?-stacking, which enable charge transport properties that not expected for COFs.

Determining of chilling and heat requirements of olive cultivars growing in Fars Province is important for the selection of cultivars that will exhibit satisfactory growth and development. The purposes of this study were determining the chilling and heat requirements of olive and comparison of Utah and Positive Utah Chill unit (PCU) models for determining the chilling requireme...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the chemical composition of the precipitate formed by mixing sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and chlorhexidine (CHX) and the relative molecular weight of the components. METHODS Using commercially available CHX gluconate, a 2% solution was formed and mixed in a 1:1 ratio with commercially available NaOCl producing a brown precipitat...

Polycarbonateurethanes (PCU) and polyetherurethanes (PEU) are used for medical devices, however their bio- and haemocompatibility is limited. In this study, the effect of titaniferous upgrading of different polyurethanes on the bio- and haemocompatibility was investigated by endothelial cell (EC) adhesion/proliferation and platelet adhesion (scanning electron microscopy), respectively. There wa...
