A molecular Solomon link was synthesized in high yield through the template-free, coordination-driven self-assembly of a carbazole-functionalized donor and a tetracene-based dinuclear ruthenium(II) acceptor. The doubly interlocked topology was realized by a strategically chosen ligand which was capable of participating in multiple CH⋅⋅⋅π and π-π interactions, as evidenced from single-crystal X-ray analysis and computational studies. This method is the first example of a two-component self-assembly of a molecular Solomon link using a directional bonding approach. The donor alone was not responsible for the construction of the Solomon link, and was confirmed by its noncatenane self-assemblies obtained with other similar ruthenium(II) acceptors.

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) is characterized by widespread pain and fatigue. People living with FM also experience tactile allodynia, cold-evoked pain, paresthesia and dysesthesia. There is evidence of small fiber neuropathy and hyperexcitability of nociceptors in FM, however the presence of other sensory abnormalities suggests involvement of large diameter sensory fibers.

Background: Following completion of the VICTORIA trial, vericiguat was approved for the treatment of worsening heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and received a class IIb recommendation in European and North American guidelines. The subsequent VICTOR trial evaluated the use of vericiguat in patients with HFrEF and no recent worsening. We aimed to assess the effect of vericiguat on clinical endpoints through pooled analyses of patient-level data from the VICTORIA and VICTOR trials.

Purpose: Neurexins (NRXNs), a complex family of synapse regulatory proteins, represent attractive candidate molecular mediators of retinal neuronal dysfunction in early diabetic retinal disease (DRD) given their roles in the central nervous system and recent work suggesting a potential link with diabetes mellitus (DM). As antibodies are unable to distinguish NRXN family members and isoforms, the purpose of this study was to investigate differential expression of individual NRXN transcripts in relevant retinal cell types in early DRD.
Methods: RNAscope multiplexed fluorescent in situ hybridization was used to quantify transcripts of NRXNs in mouse and human retina.

Nizon-Isidor syndrome is a rare disorder caused by heterozygous variants in MED12L, with only eight documented cases in the literature. Here, we present three additional cases of this syndrome. Proband 1 was a 7-year-old female who presented with developmental delay, right-leg hemihypertrophy, laryngeal cleft, esotropia, abnormal skin pigmentation, sectoral iris hypopigmentation, dysphagia, periventricular nodular heterotopia, seizures, morbid obesity, and a pelvic kidney.

Background: Fire-related injuries and deaths are significant public health concerns, with high-risk groups including children under 5 years. Although the use of functioning smoke alarms is an effective prevention strategy, many are not regularly tested. This study aims to establish the feasibility of surveying home fire safety practices and awareness of community resources among caregivers visiting a paediatric emergency department (ED).
