Abstract The use of thiophenols on process scales is fraught with challenges relating to their toxicity, malodor, and air sensitivity. We previously demonstrated that the Ni-catalyzed C–S coupling of aryl iodides and thiourea provides a discovery-scale route to S-aryl isothiouron...

Stability of Medicinal Nanoemulsions to Spaceflight: Insights From the StarMed Experiment
Space missions require liquid drug formulations that remain physically stable and exhibit predictable release under launch, microgravity, and handling stresses. This study examined melatonin‑loaded nanoemulsions flown on the MAPHEUS‑15 sounding rocket, comparing an uncoated nanoe...

Non-medical surgical delay increases one-year mortality following hip fracture
Aims: This study aimed to assess the association between surgical delay due to non-medical reasons and one-year mortality in patients with hip fracture, and to explore whether a dose-response relationship exists between increasing time to surgery and mortality risk. Methods: A re...
