    Abstract Viologens are a highly advantageous class of compounds for the synthesis of functional materials. Owing to their versatile structure, they can embed additional conjugated moieties, thus representing a convenient platform, for example for organic semiconductors and other energy-related uses. A straightforward synthesis of an extended viologen containing a bithiophene is described here, together with its UV-visible absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, showing multiple absorption and emission bands. Thanks to its ease of synthesis and optical properties, this organic salt appears to be of potential interest for various optoelectronic applications.

    Abstract Despite having been known for a long time, quaternary 4,4′-bipyridinium salts, or viologens, are still a highly inspiring class of compounds, thanks to their peculiar redox and charge transfer properties. However, more complex structures containing multiple pyridinium rings, also interspaced by conjugated moieties, allow an even wider synthetic variability and tunability of their characteristics. The compound described herein is a star-shaped, fully conjugated molecule with three methylated pyridinium rings connected by a triple bond spacer to a central benzene core, which was synthesized from readily available building blocks, representing a quite simple model of multi-pyridyl extended viologen; its UV–visible absorption and fluorescence spectra have also been investigated.

    Abstract Background: In the evolving field of maxillofacial surgery, integrating advanced technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs) into medical practices, especially for trauma triage, presents a promising yet largely unexplored potential. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using LLMs for triaging complex maxillofacial trauma cases by comparing their performance against the expertise of a tertiary referral center.
    Methods: Utilizing a comprehensive review of patient records in a tertiary referral center over a year-long period, standardized prompts detailing patient demographics, injury characteristics, and medical histories were created. These prompts were used to assess the triage suggestions of ChatGPT 4.0 and Google GEMINI against the center's recommendations, supplemented by evaluating the AI's performance using the QAMAI and AIPI questionnaires.
    Results: The results in 10 cases of major maxillofacial trauma indicated moderate agreement rates between LLM recommendations and the referral center, with some variances in the suggestion of appropriate examinations (70% ChatGPT and 50% GEMINI) and treatment plans (60% ChatGPT and 45% GEMINI). Notably, the study found no statistically significant differences in several areas of the questionnaires, except in the diagnosis accuracy (GEMINI: 3.30, ChatGPT: 2.30;
    Conclusions: This exploratory investigation underscores the potential of LLMs in enhancing clinical decision making for maxillofacial trauma cases, indicating a need for further research to refine their application in healthcare settings.

    Abstract Background and aims: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) hyperglycaemia alters basal autophagy. Since autophagy is an essential cellular process, our aim was to investigate the ATG5 (autophagy-related 5) gene expression level and genetic variants in a cohort of diabetic patients, characterized for the presence of microangiopathic complications.
    Methods and results: the expression levels of ATG5 were evaluated in PBMCs from 48 T2D patients with an extensive evaluation for microangiopathic complications. Our analyses revealed a significant lower expression of ATG5 in T2D patients with retinopathy compared to those without retinopathy. We also highlighted a significant lower expression of ATG5 in T2D patients with early-cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy compared to those without it, after correction for sex, age, body mass index and levels of hemoglobin A1c.
    Conclusion: our results highlight that dysregulation in the autophagy process could be involved in the development of severe microangiopathic complications.

    Abstract Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint is a common cause of pain and functional disability of the hand and is the second most frequent site in the hand of OA. This prospective randomized study analyses and compares the outcomes and global assessment of 2 different surgical techniques for rhizarthrosis treatment: trapeziectomy with tendon interposition arthroplasty and total joint replacement with Touch® (KeriMedical; Geneva, Switzerland) TMC prosthesis.
    Methods: The enrolled patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: group A included 71 patients (75 hands) treated with tendon interposition arthroplasty, while group B included 65 patients (72 hands) treated with total joint replacement. Clinical and radiological outcomes were collected before surgery and at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months of follow-up.
    Results: Although the values of all clinical tests performed during follow-up demonstrated statistically significant improvement over preoperative ones in both groups, patients treated with prosthesis showed faster improvement, especially in tests of strength and range of motion, which showed better results than patients treated with trapeziectomy and tendon interposition arthroplasty throughout the follow-up.
    Conclusions: Our study suggests that joint replacement should be preferred to interposition arthroplasty as the treatment of rhizarthrosis, choosing the latter in case of prosthetic replacement complications or scaphoid-trapezium-trapezoid OA.

    Abstract Abstract Sodium metal batteries (SMBs) are innovative and promising energy storage systems. SMBs are a competitive technological paradigm compared to the state‐of‐the‐art lithium‐ion batteries thanks to the high specific capacity of sodium metal, i. e., 1166 mAh g−1, and the Na+/Na0 low redox potential of −2.71 V vs. standard hydrogen electrode. Unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI), uncontrolled overpotentials and dendrite growth of sodium are the main drawbacks that hinder the development of SMBs. Herein, we propose a functionalized silica gel material with extended porosity (NaSGII) as an active host material in order to obtain stable cycling of sodium metal anodes. NaSGII was incorporated in composite electrodes using a conductive carbon additive and polymeric binders and the functional properties in SMBs cells demonstrated by galvanostatic tests. A Butler‐Volmer analysis demonstrated an improvement of electrokinetic parameters induced by NaSGII.
