  • Poly(Ethylene Oxide-Co-Tetrahydrofuran) and Poly(Propylene Oxide-Co-Tetrahydrofuran): Synthesis and Thermal Degradation
    Revue Roumaine de Chimie, 2006, 51(7-8), 781–793 Dedicated to the memory of Professor Mircea D. Banciu (1941–2005) POLY(ETHYLENE OXIDE-CO-TETRAHYDROFURAN) AND POLY(PROPYLENE OXIDE-CO-TETRAHYDROFURAN): SYNTHESIS AND THERMAL DEGRADATION Thomas HÖVETBORN, Markus HÖLSCHER, Helmut KEUL∗ and Hartwig HÖCKER Lehrstuhl für Textilchemie und Makromolekulare Chemie der Rheinisch-Westfälischen Technischen Hochschule Aachen, Pauwelsstr. 8, 52056 Aachen, Germany Received January 12, 2006 Copolymers of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and ethylene oxide (EO) (poly(THF-co-EO) and THF and propylene oxide (PO) (poly(THF-co-PO) were obtained by cationic ring opening polymerization of the monomer mixture at 0°C using boron trifluoride etherate (BF3.OEt2) as the initiator. From time conversion plots it was concluded that both monomers are consumed from the very beginning of the reaction and random copolymers are obtained. For poly(THF-co-PO) the molar ratio of repeating units was varied from [THF]/[PO] = 1 to 10; the molar ratio of monomers in the feed corresponds to the molar ratio of repeating units in the copolymer. Thermogravimetric analysis of the copolymers revealed that both poly(THF-co-EO) and poly(THF-co-PO) decompose by ca. 50°C lower than poly(THF) and by ca. 100°C lower than poly(EO); 50% mass loss is obtained at T50 = 375°C for poly(EO), T50 = 330°C for poly(THF) and at T50 = 280°C for both copolymers. The [THF]/[PO] ratio does not influence the decomposition temperature significantly as well. For the copolymers the activation energies of the thermal decomposition (Ea) were determined experimentally from TGA measurements and by density functional calculations on model compounds on the B3LYP/6-31+G* level of theory.

  • A Retrospective Comparison of Inappropriate Prescribing Of
    Schjøtt and Aßmus BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making (2019) 19:102 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12911-019-0821-0 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access A retrospective comparison of inappropriate prescribing of psychotropics in three Norwegian nursing homes in 2000 and 2016 with prescribing quality indicators Jan Schjøtt1,2* and Jörg Aßmus3 Abstract Background: Inappropriate prescribing of psychotropics is a persistent and prevalent problem in nursing homes. The present study compared inappropriate prescribing of psychotropics in nursing homes 16 years apart with prescribing quality indicators. The purpose was to identify any change in inappropriate prescribing of relevance for medical informatics. Methods: Three Norwegian nursing homes were audited in 2000 and 2016 with regard to prescribing quality. Psychotropics among 386 patients in 2000, and 416 patients in 2016, included combinations of antidepressants, antipsychotics, anxiolytics-hypnotics, and antiepileptics. Prescribing quality indicators included psychotropic polypharmacy (defined as concurrent use of three or more psychotropics) and potential inappropriate psychotropic substances or combinations. Furthermore, potential clinically relevant psychotropic interactions were classified as pharmacodynamic or pharmacokinetic using an interaction database. The first ranked (most important) interaction in each patient was selected with the following importance of categories in the database; recommended action > documentation > severity. Three levels (from low to high) within each category were used for ranking. Results: From 2000 to 2016, psychotropic polypharmacy increased from 6.2 to 29.6%, potential inappropriate psychotropic substances was reduced from 17.9 to 11.3% and potential inappropriate psychotropic combinations increased from 7.8 to 27.9%. Changes in polypharmacy and combinations were predominantly associated with prescribing of anxiolytics-hypnotics.
