Consensus Recommendations by the Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology: Optimising Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
The Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology convened a consensus statement panel for optimising cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in type 2 diabetes, and reviewed the current literature. Relevant articles were appraised using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation system, and consensus statements were developed in two meetings and were confirmed through online voting. The consensus statements indicated that lifestyle interventions must be emphasised for patients with prediabetes, and optimal glucose control should be encouraged when possible. Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are recommended for patients with chronic kidney disease with adequate renal function, and for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. In addition to SGLT2i, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are recommended for patients at high risk of CV events. A blood pressure target below 140/90 mmHg is generally recommended for patients with type 2 diabetes. Antiplatelet therapy is recommended for secondary prevention in patients with atherosclerotic CV disease
Porous hypercrosslinked polymer-TiO2-graphene composite photocatalysts for visible-light-driven CO2 conversion
Renewable CO2 conversion to useful products presents a sustainable, carbon-neutral method to limit climate change, yet few materials can perform this complex chemistry. Here, authors prepare a polymer-TiO2-graphene composite that can take up CO2 and convert it to CH4 using light and water

Triptycene-Based Hyper-Cross-Linked Polymer Sponge for Gas Storage and Water Treatment
Cost-effective
adsorbents for water treatment is easy available through one-pot Friedel–Crafts
reaction of triptycene. With hierarchical porous structure, high surface
area, high thermal stability, and excellent adsorption capacities
for organic solvents and dyes, the triptycene-based hyper-cross-linked
polymer sponge (THPS) may be ideal adsorbents for a wide range of
large-scale applications in water purification and treatment
