The music group showed significant improvements in handgrip, plantar flexion, leg extension, elbow flexion, and shoulder adduction strengths on left and right sides. Additionally, left and right leg extensor and left plantar flexor strengths showed significant post-differences, and small to moderately large effect sizes, between the music group and control group. Conclusion These findings suggest that a music-guided exercise intervention has the potential to improve muscle strength in ICU survivors and prevent further post-ICU deterioration in ICU survivors. Future trials should build upon these preliminary findings.
The aim of this study was to examine the risk factors for antepartum hemorrhage (APH) in women with placenta previa.

In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed the medical records of 233 women with singleton pregnancies presenting with placenta previa whose deliveries were performed at our hospital between January 2009 and July 2018.

Of the 233 women included in this study, 130 (55.8%) had APH. In the APH group, the gestational age and neonatal birth weight were significantly lower compared with the no hemorrhage group. Maternal age <30 years and multiparity were identified as significant risk factors for APH in both the univariate and multivariate analyses. Focusing on the previous route of delivery in multiparous women, the risk of APH was significantly higher in multiparous women who had experienced at least one vaginal delivery compared with nulliparous women (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 3.42 [95% confidence interval 1.83-6.38]).

We showed that women with placenta previa who were under 30 years old and who had a history of vaginal delivery may be at significant risk of experiencing APH.

Currently, it remains unclear whether β-blockers or nondihydropyridine calcium channel blockers are preferred for the acute management of atrial fibrillation (AF).

The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) metoprolol and diltiazem for rate control.

This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study of patients who presented to the emergency department between 2015 and 2019 with AF with rapid ventricular rate (RVR) and received IV metoprolol or diltiazem. The primary outcome was the percentage of patients who achieved rate control (defined as heart rate < 100 beats per minute). Secondary outcomes included time to rate control, percentage of patients requiring additional agents for rate control, and incidence of cardioversion, bradycardia, and hypotension.

A total of 200 patients were included in this study. Rate control was achieved in 35% and 41% of the metoprolol and diltiazem groups, respectively (
 = 0.38). Mean time to rate control was not significantly different between the metoprolol and diltiazem groups (35 vs 21 minutes,
 = 0.23). One patient developed hypotension, no patient developed bradycardia, and 4 patients required electric cardioversion. No adverse events were observed in patients with ejection fraction ≤40%.

There was no difference in the achievement of rate control between IV metoprolol and diltiazem. This is the largest study to date comparing the two classes of agents for acute rate control in AF. No patient-specific factors were identified that would influence the preferential use of one medication over the other.

This study aimed at targeting shared factors that influence the prevention of multiple diseases, which can help address various health problems simultaneously. We identified correlates of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination that overlap with COVID-19 vaccination.

Cross-sectional survey data.

Online Qualtrics recruitment panel.

Religious parents of 342 adolescents who were unvaccinated for HPV (response rate was 68.1%).

Outcome variables were COVID-19 vaccination intention for (1) self, (2) child, and (3) HPV vaccination intention for child. Independent variables were psychological factors. Covariates were sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors.

We conducted multivariate linear regressions on each outcome variable after controlling for covariates.

Some psychological correlates of HPV overlapped as protective factors for all three outcomes. Higher perceived vulnerability of child to HPV was associated with higher vaccination intention against COVID-19 for self (β = .37, 95% confidence interval [CI] = .25-.48), child (β = .32, .21-.44), and HPV for child (β = .38, .27-.49). Higher perceived response efficacy of HPV vaccine was associated with greater vaccination intention against COVID-19 for self (β = .46, .33-.59), child (β = .41, .28-.53), and HPV for child (β = .75, .64-.85).

Given the overlap in HPV and COVID-19 vaccination correlates, interventions should target shared factors that address both diseases to maximize public health efforts. A major limitation of this study is the inability to measure the actual vaccination behavior.

Blood-group-specific antibodies immobilized to gold nanoparticles (BG-AuNP) were utilized for the identification of blood groups from individual erythrocytes by objective-type dark-field microscopy (OTDFM). The scattering of free BG-AuNP and their Brownian motion as well as BG-AuNP attached on erythrocytes is easily observed by OTDFM. The strong scattering intensity caused by BG-AuNP packing-enhanced nanoscattering (PENS) on erythrocytes is first demonstrated. PENS combined with OTDFM allows us to identify blood groups within 5 s for all blood group antigens including A, B, D, C, c, E, and e. This was immediately identified by mixing with BG-AuNP without any washing step or waiting for hemoagglutination. Therefore, PENS combined with OTDFM demonstrates feasibility and advantages for use in emergency transfusions where the blood group of patients is unknown. Moreover, matching RhD+ in the case of emergency transfusions may also be beneficial in reducing the shortage of RhD- red blood cell concentrate in the case of a population with a high frequency in RhD-.Trialkylamines are widely found in naturally occurring alkaloids, synthetic agrochemicals, biological probes, and especially pharmaceuticals agents and preclinical candidates. Despite the recent breakthrough of catalytic alkylation of dialkylamines, the selective α-C(sp3)-H bond functionalization of widely available trialkylamine scaffolds holds promise to streamline complex trialkylamine synthesis, accelerate drug discovery, and execute late-stage pharmaceutical modification with complementary reactivity. However, the canonical methods always result in functionalization at the less-crowded site. Herein, we describe a solution to switch the reaction site through fundamentally overcoming the steric control that dominates such processes. By rapidly establishing an equilibrium between α-amino C(sp3)-H bonds and a highly electrophilic thiol radical via reversible hydrogen atom transfer, we leverage a slower radical-trapping step with electron-deficient olefins to selectively forge a C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond with the more-crowded α-amino radical, with the overall selectivity guided by the Curtin-Hammett principle. This subtle reaction profile has unlocked a new strategic concept in direct C-H functionalization arena for forging C-C bonds from a diverse set of trialkylamines with high levels of site selectivity and preparative utility. Simple correlation of site selectivity and 13C NMR shift serves as a qualitative predictive guide. The broad consequences of this dynamic system, together with the ability to forge N-substituted quaternary carbon centers and implement late-stage functionalization techniques, hold potential to streamline complex trialkylamine synthesis and accelerate small-molecule drug discovery.Many achiral organic compounds become chiral by an isotopic substitution of one of the enantiotopic moieties in their structures. Although spectroscopic methods can recognize the molecular chirality due to an isotopic substitution, the effects of isotopically chiral compounds in enantioselective reactions have remained unsolved because the small chirality arises only from the difference between the number of neutrons in the atomic nuclei. The difference between the diastereomeric isotopomers of reactive sources should be the key to these effects. However, the energy difference between them is difficult to calculate, even using present computational methods, and differences in physical properties have not yet been reported. Here, we demonstrate that the small energy difference between the diastereomeric isotopomers at the molecular level can be enhanced to appear as a solubility difference between the diastereomeric (2H/1H) isotopomers of α-aminonitriles, synthesized from an isotopically chiral amine, achiral aldehyde, and HCN. This small, but measurable, difference induces the chiral (d/l) imbalance in the suspended α-aminonitrile; therefore, a second enhancement in the solid-state chirality proceeds to afford a highly stereoimproved aminonitrile (>99% selectivity) whose handedness arises completely from the excess enantiomer of isotopically chiral amine, even in a low enantiomeric excess and low deuterium-labeling ratio. Because α-aminonitriles can be hydrolyzed to chiral α-amino acids with the removal of an isotope-labeling moiety, the current sequence of reactions represents a highly enantioselective Strecker amino acid synthesis induced by the chiral hydrogen (2H/1H) isotopomer. compound 3i inhibitor Thus, hydrogen isotopic chirality links directly with the homochirality of α-amino acids via a double enhancement of α-aminonitrile, the chiral intermediate of a proposed prebiotic mechanism.Ubiquitous oxygen vacancies (Vo) existing in metallic compounds can activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for water treatment. However, under environmental conditions, especially oxygenated surroundings, the interactions between Vo and PMS as well as the organics degradation mechanism are still ambiguous. In this study, we provide a novel insight into the PMS activation mechanism over Vo-containing Fe-Co layered double hydroxide (LDH). Experimental results show that Vo/PMS is capable of selective degradation of organics via a single-electron-transfer nonradical pathway. Moreover, O2 is firstly demonstrated as the most critical trigger in this system. Mechanistic studies reveal that, with abundant electrons confined in the vacant electron orbitals of Vo, O2 is thermodynamically enabled to capture electrons from Vo to form O2•- under the imprinting effect and start the activation process. Simultaneously, Vo becomes electron-deficient and withdraws the electrons from organics to sustain the electrostatic balance and achieve organics degradation (32% for Bisphenol A without PMS).
