Chemistry meets graphane: a Birch-type reaction using frozen water as a gentle proton source causes the exfoliation of graphite and formation of hydrogenated graphene with electronically decoupled π-nanodomains. This highly functionalized graphene displays pronounced fluorescence.

Various infusion systems have been devised to allow long-term administration of total parenteral nutrition solutions on an ambulatory basis to patients who are unable to maintain adequate enteral nutrition and/or who might benefit from a period of bowel rest. During the past 3 yr, the intravenous hyperalimentation team of The Hermann Hospital and The University of Texas Medical School at Houston has gained considerable experience in developing a specially designed patient vest which is comfortable, attractive and practical for continuous or intermittent central venous or enteral feeding on an ambulatory basis. The system is described together with the results of its use. in 25 patients ranging in age from 23 mo to 66 yr for a cumulative total ambulatory home hyperalimentation experience equivalent to 12.4 man-years. Complications related to the technique have been minimal, and clinical results have been most gratifying. It is anticipated that further advances in this vital field will contribute to increas...

In 1981 the Nurses' Committee of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition appointed an Ad Hoc Committee to investigate the evolution of and the current status of nutrition education curriculum in schools of nursing accredited by the National League for Nursing. This investigation identified current trends in the teaching of nutrition content in baccalaureate and graduate schools of nursing. Part one explores the evolution of nutrition content in school of nursing curriculum; while part two (to be published in a later journal) presents the results of a descriptive survey of accredited schools of nursing in the United States.

Um den Mechanismus der von Phosphit(in)-Ni(0)-Komplexen katalysierten Oligomerisierung von Allen zu untersuchen, werden koordinativ ungesattigte Ni(O)-Komplexe mit P-Liganden zum Einfangen von Zwischenprodukten eingesetzt.
