Abstract: The apparent “boosted mobility” observed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) diffusion measurements is the result of a known artefact. When signal intensities are changing during an NMR diffusion measurement for reasons other than diffusion, the use of monotonically increasing gradient litudes produces erroneous diffusion coefficient values. We show that no boosted molecular mobility is observed when shuffled gradient litudes are applied.

Abstract: Surgery for prostate cancer can result in distressing side effects such as sexual difficulties, which are associated with lower levels of dyadic functioning. The study developed and tested an intervention to address sexual, relational, and emotional aspects of the relationship after prostate cancer by incorporating elements of family systems theory and sex therapy. To develop and test the feasibility and acceptability of relational psychosexual treatment for couples with prostate cancer, determine whether a relational-psychosexual intervention is feasible and acceptable for couples affected by prostate cancer, and determine the parameters for a full-scale trial. Forty-three couples were recruited for this pilot randomized controlled trial and received a six-session manual-based psychosexual intervention or usual care. Outcomes were measured before, after, and 6 months after the intervention. Acceptability and feasibility were established from recruitment and retention rates and adherence to the manual. The primary outcome measurement was the sexual bother subdomain of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the 15-item Systemic Clinical Outcome and Routine Evaluation (SCORE-15) were used to measure emotional and relational functioning, respectively. The intervention was feasible and acceptable. The trial achieved adequate recruitment (38%) and retention (74%) rates. The intervention had a clinically and statistically significant effect on sexual bother immediately after the intervention. Small decreases in anxiety and depression were observed for the intervention couples, although these were not statistically significant. Practitioners reported high levels of adherence to the manual. The clinically significant impact on sexual bother and positive feedback on the study's feasibility and acceptability indicate that the intervention should be tested in a multicenter trial. The SCORE-15 lacked specificity for this intervention, and future trials would benefit from a couple-focused measurement.

Abstract: A study reported in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters (12 (2021) 2370) of “boosted mobility” measured by diffusion NMR experiments contains significant errors in data analysis and interpretation. We carefully reanalyzed the same data and find no evidence of boosted mobility, and we identify several sources of error.

Abstract: The reported changes in self-diffusion of small molecules during reactions have been attributed to "boosted mobility". We demonstrate the critical role of changing concentrations of paramagnetic ions on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal intensities, which led to erroneous measurements of diffusion coefficients. We present simple methods to overcome this problem. The use of shuffled gradient litudes allows accurate diffusion NMR measurements, even with time-dependent relaxation rates caused by changing concentrations of paramagnetic ions. The addition of a paramagnetic relaxation agent allows accurate determination of both diffusion coefficients and reaction kinetics during a single experiment. We analyze a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition "click" reaction, for which boosted mobility has been claimed. With our methods, we accurately measure the diffusive behavior of the solvent, starting materials, and product and find no global increase in diffusion coefficients during the reaction. We overcome NMR signal overlap using an alternative reducing agent to improve the accuracy of the diffusion measurements. The alkyne reactant diffuses slower as the reaction proceeds due to binding to the copper catalyst during the catalytic cycle. The formation of this intermediate was confirmed by complementary NMR techniques and density functional theory calculations. Our work calls into question recent claims that molecules actively propel or swim during reactions and establishes that time-resolved diffusion NMR measurements can provide valuable insight into reaction mechanisms.
