Fodor, L.A., Cotet, C.D., Cuijpers, P, Szamoskozi, David, D. & Cristea, I.A. (2018) "The effectiveness of virtual reality based interventions for symptoms of anxiety and depression: A meta-analysis". Scientific Reports

A series of siloxane-based chiral smectic liquid crystalline elastomers (ChSLCEs) formed by a dimer-type smectic monomer (M1), a dimer-type chiral smectic monomer (M2) and a smectic cross-linker (CL) were reported. M1 and M2 were both new liquid crystals with dimer structures, and their chemical structures and purities were characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectra and 1H NMR. The thermal stability and mesomorphism of monomers, cross-linker and ChSLCEs were examined by different analytical techniques. The results...

Fluorinated aromatics is generally chosen as mesogenic cores to design novel liquid crystal compounds. Here, a series of benzoxazole derivatives with laterally multifluorinated biphenyl units, 2-(3′,3-difluoro −4′-alkoxy-1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl)-benzoxazole derivatives (coded as nPF(3)PF(3)Bx), are synthesized and characterized, where methyl and nitro moieties are selected as terminal groups to investigate the effects of different polar substituents on the liquid crystal properties. The compounds nPF(3)PF(3)Bx show enantiotropic mesophases with mesophase ranges of 0–40°C and 0–63°C on heating and cooling...

Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate patterns of use and outcomes of retrievable inferior vena cava filters (rIVCF) in obstetric patients. Methods: A single center review of consecutive patients who underwent rIVCF placement during pregnancy/postpartum in 2005–2016. A pooled analysis of the relevant cases in the English literature was conducted. Results: The current cohort comprised 24 women, median age 27 [interquartile range 24–30] years. Among 10 filters placed during pregnancy, the most...

A homologous series of new chiral liquid crystal compounds, M6BnB (n = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18), with varying length of n-alkoxy chains at one end, was formed by covalently linking a chiral (−)-menthyl with biphenyl-benzoate via adipoyloxy spacer group. A combination of analysis methods such as Fourier transform infrared, 1H NMR spectra, differential scanning calorimetry, polarised optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction was carried out to systematically investigate their phase structures and phase...

A homologous series of new chiral liquid crystal compounds, MnBEB (n = 4–10), was prepared by covalently linking a chiral (–)-menthyl with biphenyl-benzoate via a dicarboxylic spacer of varying length and parity. A combination of analysis methods, such as FT-IR, 1H NMR spectra, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarised optical microscopy (POM) and X-ray diffraction was carried out to systematically investigate their phase structures and phase transition behaviours. The length and parity of the flexible spacers has a...

Halogen bonding interactions in the formation of liquid crystalline phases have been recognised in recent years. Here, we report a novel series of iodine-bonded liquid crystals using 1,2-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (1,2-DITFB) and azopyridine derivatives (AnAzPy), showing a smectic A phase and concurrent photoresponsive behaviour. These were characterised by using a polarising optical microscope, differential scanning calorimetry and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The formation of iodine bonding in the complexes was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy....

In an effort to control the phase ranges of highly ordered smectic phases, we examined the impact of molecular symmetry on phase behaviour of a series of 12 symmetrical and unsymmetrical 4,4′-dialkanoyloxybiphenyl derivatives. Combined differential scanning calorimetry, polarised optical microscopy, and X-ray diffraction studies indicated that the compounds studied formed smectic F liquid crystals, and in some cases, G phases at lower temperatures. Although the clearing temperatures were largely unaffected by molecular symmetry, the transitions...
