In the zwitterionic zinc title complex, [ZnCl(2)(C(14)H(20)N(2)O(2))], the Zn(II) ion is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The Schiff base ligand employs its phenolate O and imine N atoms to coordinate the metal atom in a bidentate mode. Two Cl atoms complete the tetra-hedral coordination environment. In the crystal, a pair of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol-ecules into a centrosymmetric dimer. C-H⋯O, C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯π inter-actions are also observed.
In the title compound, [Mn(C(14)H(19)N(2)O(2))(2)Cl(H(2)O)]·H(2)O, the Mn(III) atom is N,O-chelated by two monoanionic Schiff bases, forming two six-membered chelate rings. One Cl atom and one water mol-ecule in trans positions complete a distorted octa-hedral geometry around the metal atom. In the crystal, the complex mol-ecules and the uncoordinated water mol-ecules are connected via O-H⋯N, O-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds into layers parallel to the ac plane and these are consolidated by C-H⋯π inter-actions. The layers are further linked into a three-dimensional network through C-H⋯O inter-actions.

The structure was determined from a non-merohedrally twined crystal [twin ratio 0.777 (3):0.223 (3)].
In the title compound, [ZnCl(2)(C(13)H(19)N(3)O)], the Schiff base ligand acts as an N,N',N''-tridentate chelating agent, making two five-membered rings with the Zn(II) ion. The metal atom is five-coordinated by the Schiff base ligand and two Cl atoms in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. An intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl inter-action occurs.

The Cu(II) atom in the title compound, [Cu(C(13)H(16)ClN(2)O(2))Cl], exists in a distorted square-planar coordination environment as the deprotonated Schiff base chelates to the Cu(II) atom through three atom sites. In the crystal structure, adjacent mol-ecules are linked by a Cu⋯Cl [3.011 (1) Å] bridge, generating a linear chain running along the b axis of the ortho-rhom-bic unit cell.

Medication review is an intervention with the potential to reduce drug-related problems (DRPs) in the elderly. This study aimed to determine the effect of pharmacists' medication reviews on geriatric patients. This study accessed two online databases, MEDLINE Complete and Scopus, and examined all studies published in English between 2019 and 2023, except for reviews. The studies included (1) participants over 65 years of age and (2) medication reviews conducted by pharmacists. The titles, abstracts, and full texts were reviewed for data extraction to determine whether the studies satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Forty-four of the initial 709 articles were included in this study. The articles included discussions on the incidence rates of DRPs and potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) (n=21), hospitalization (n=14), medication adherence (n=9), quality of life (QoL) (n=8), and falls (n=7). Pharmacist medication reviews were associated with a reduced incidence of DRPs and PIMs, and improved adherence to medications. Patients' overall QoL is also increasing. However, pharmacist medication reviews were not strongly associated with decreased hospitalization or falls. A pharmacist's medication review may be a feasible intervention for reducing the incidence rates of DRPs and PIMs, regardless of whether it is performed as a sole intervention or supplemented with other interventions. The intervention was also effective in increasing medication adherence and QoL.
Amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSCs) are commonly isolated from mid-term amniotic fluid (AF) of animals and human collected via an invasive technique, amniocentesis. Alternatively, AFSCs could be collected at full-term. However, it is unclear whether AFSCs are present in the AF at full term. Here, we aimed to isolate and characterize stem cells isolated from AF of full term pregnant rats. Three stem cell lines have been established following immuno-selection against the stem cell marker, c-kit. Two of the new lines expressed multiple markers of pluripotency until more than passage 90. Further, they spontaneously differentiated into derivatives of the three primary germ layers through the formation of good quality embryoid bodies (EBs), and can be directly differentiated into neural lineage. Their strong stemness and potent neurogenic properties highlight the presence of highly potent stem cells in AF of full-term pregnancies, which could serve as a potential source of stem cells for regenerative medicine.
