Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are eutectic mixtures of salts and hydrogen bond donors with melting points low enough to be used as solvents. DESs have proved to be a good alternative to traditional organic solvents and ionic liquids (ILs) in many biocatalytic processes. Apart from the benign characteristics similar to those of ILs (e.g., low volatility, low inflammability and low melting point)...

In patients with diabetes mellitus, outcome after drug-eluting stent (DES) versus bare metal stent (BMS) implantation remains under investigation; although lower reintervention rates were reported, incidence of death and myocardial infarction (MI) during follow-up is not completely characterized. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis of available randomized studies evaluating follow-up events of D...

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as promising alternative candidates for CO2 capture in recent years. In this work, several novel DESs were firstly prepared to enhance CO2 absorption. Structural and physical properties of DESs were investigated, as well as their absorption performance of CO2. A distinct depression in the melting point up to 80 K of DESs was observed compared with that...

Ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been applied in various fields such as electrolytes for lithium ion batteries, electrodeposition, electropolishing and even in fuel cells. ILs and molten salts have found some applications in redox flow batteries (RFBs) in the past and recently some metal ion based ILs have been proposed and used by Sandia National Laboratories. In addi...

BACKGROUND The long-term effectiveness of drug eluting stents (DESs) in a real-world setting of female patients is currently unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed long-term follow-up (up to 3 years) data from all female patients with de novo lesions enrolled in a prospective web-based multicenter registry (REAL Registry; study period, July 2002-June 2006) including all 15 hospitals perform...

The melting point of a deep eutectic solvent formed from a ternary mixture of ethylammonium bromide (EABr), butylammonium bromide (BABr) and urea is 10 °C, which is almost 40 °C lower than the melting points of binary DESs formed from either EABr:urea or BABr:urea mixtures. This reveals a new route to prepare room temperature DESs via mixing different cations.

BACKGROUND/AIMS Although drug-eluting stents (DESs) effectively reduce restenosis following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), they also delay re-endothelialization and impair microvascular function, resulting in adverse clinical outcomes. Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) capturing stents, by providing a functional endothelial layer on the stent, have beneficial effects on microvascular...

Strongyloides stercoralis is a gastrointestinal parasitic nematode with a life cycle that includes free-living and parasitic forms. For both clinical (diagnostic) and environmental evaluation, it is important that we can detect Strongyloides spp. in both human and non-human fecal samples. Real-time PCR is the most feasible method for detecting the parasite in both clinical and environmental sam...

Abstract The CO2 solubilities (including Henry's constant) in physical- and chemical-based ILs/DESs the COSMO-RS models describing these properties were comprehensively collected summarized. summarized results indicate that are superior to physical-based for capture, especially those ILs have functionalized cation anion, superbase DESs; some of DESs higher than ILs; best ILs, as well [BMIM][BF4...

In this paper, potential synthesis cases in distributed expert systems (DESs) are identified. Based on these results, necessary conditions of synthesis strategies in different synthesis cases and two methodologies to solve the problem of synthesis of solutions in DESs are proposed. A computational strategy by using analysis methods and a neural network strategy which is an example of inductive ...
