Many elderly patients will benefit from a more individualized approach and healthcare facilities that specialize solely in elective procedures. Samuraciclib When indicating elderly patients for one-day surgery, their health status is more important than their calendar age.Higher incidence of injury in trauma patients older than 65 years is connected with growing morbidity and mortality, first of all in polytrauma. Incidence of preexisting diseases play a great role in development of postinjury reaction. There are risk factors for genesis of postinjury complications and also mortality of victims. Growing number of polytrauma patients older than 65 years admitted to Trauma Centre Faculty Hospital Královské Vinohrady was reason for evaluation of epidemiological data and their comparison with data regarding to victims younger than 65 years. In retrospective study was evaluated 239 injured patients with polytrauma, admitted in Emergency unit Department of anesthesiology and resuscitation. From overall number was 47 victims older than 65 years (29/61 %).  75 years was an average age in victims older than 65 years. Primary admission to Trauma Centre was in case of 42 (85 %) victims older than 65 years. Between causes of injury were most frequent traffic accidents and falls. Most freqre is tend to this strategy.As life expectancy increases in economically developed countries, there is an increasing need for medical care for the elderly. In surgical fields, this means that the number and spectrum of surgical interventions in elderly patients is increasing. Because of this special attention should be paid to the preoperative evaluation in these patients. Communication with the patient and relatives is crucial in order to decide on the extent of the surgical intervention and whether to treat these patients with curative or palliative intent. It is imperative that physicians understand the physiology of aging and its associated risks, as traditional perioperative risk assessment tools are insufficient in this patient group.Advanced social care and higher level of medical intervention in elderly allow to prolong life expectancy in seniors, and therefore the number of elderly patients has risen rapidly in last decades. Management of elderly patients examination before surgery is routinely organized by general practitioners and internists with an aim to facilitate the surgery team work; to help anesthesiologists focus mainly on strategy of anesthesia (without any other special examination) and surgeons to realize/accomplish effective and save surgery, including elective surgery procedures. Key issue is to summarize the level of risk for surgery and compare it to prediction of follow-up with respect of mortality and morbidity as well as function status after surgery. Special attention should be focused on frailty seniors, all items together including quality of life and life expectancy should be carefully analyzed. Correctly prepared pre-operative report remarkable improves prognosis in high risk seniors.Opportunities arising from the use of the rheometric quartz crystal microbalance (RheoQCM) as a fixed frequency rheometer operating at 15 MHz are discussed. The technique requires the use of films in a specified thickness range that depends on the mechanical properties of the material of interest. A regime map quantifying the appropriate thicknesses is developed, based on the properties of a highly crosslinked epoxy sample that is representative of a broad class of polymeric materials. Relative errors in the measured film properties are typically in the range of several percent or less and are minimized by using a power law model to relate the rheological properties at two different resonant harmonics of the quartz crystal. Application of the RheoQCM technique is illustrated by measuring the temperature- and molecular weight-dependent properties of polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) in the vicinity of the glass transition.Since Ar-gas cluster ion beams (Ar-GCIBs) have been introduced into time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), there have been various attempts to analyze organic materials and biomolecules that require low-damage analysis and high sensitivity, because Ar-GCIBs allow soft ionization of large molecules such as peptides and proteins due to the low energy per atom. Here, the authors adopted the Ar-GCIB as a primary beam to detect proteins including human insulin, ubiquitin, and cytochrome C (molecular weights are 5808, 8564, and 12 327 Da, respectively). They have confirmed that the detection of the intact proteins was possible when the Ar-GCIB was used as a primary ion beam. In addition, they successfully identified each protein by analyzing the trypsin-digested peptides in myoglobin, cytochrome C, and bovine serum albumin. They also attempted on-surface enzymatic digestion to identify proteins on the surface of the Si wafer and obtained results identical to those of in-solution digestion. It is expected that the authors' on-surface digestion method can enable the application of ToF-SIMS for the analysis of proteins present in biological tissues.Optically active α-aryloxycarboxylic acids and their derivatives are important functional molecules. Disclosed here is a carbene-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution and transesterification reaction for access to this class of molecules with up to 99% yields and 991 er values. Addition of a chiral carbene catalyst to the ester substrate leads to two diastereomeric azolium ester intermediates that can quickly epimerize to each other and thus allows for effective dynamic kinetic resolution to be realized. The optically enriched ester products from our reaction can be quickly transformed to chiral herbicides and other bioactive molecules.Conjugated porphyrin arrays are heavily investigated as efficient molecular systems for photosynthesis and photocatalysis. Recently, a series of one-, two-, and six-zinc-porphyrin arrays, noncovalently linked through benzene-based hubs, have been synthesized with the aim of mimicking the structure and function of the bacteriochlorophyll "special pair" in photosynthetic reaction centers. The excitonically coupled porphyrin subunits are expected to activate additional excited state relaxation channels with respect to the monomer. Here, we unveil the appearance of such supramolecular electronic interactions using ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy with sub-25 fs time resolution. Upon photoexcitation of the Soret band, we resolve energy trapping within ∼150 fs in a delocalized dark excitonic manifold. Moreover, excitonic interactions promote an additional fast internal conversion from the Q-band to the ground state with an efficiency of up to 60% in the hexamer. These relaxation pathways appear to be common loss channels that limit the lifetime of the exciton states in noncovalently bound molecular aggregates.
