Collaborative approach to the integration of radiology teaching into clinical clerkships.

In this pilot study, a multidisciplinary group of educators describes their collaborative efforts to achieve successful integration of radiologist-led standardized interactive radiology teaching sessions into established Internal Medicine and Surgery clerkship curricula, with an overall improvement of student knowledge of radiology concepts, as well as a perceived improvement in understanding of the role of radiology in clinical care.

The genus Coelastrella (Chlorophyceae, Chlorophyta): molecular species delimitation, biotechnological potential, and description of a new species Coelastrella affinis sp. nov., based on an integrative taxonomic approach.

Despite the long research history on the genus Coelastrella, its species diversity and biotechnological potential have not been fully explored. For the first time, cluster analysis of morphological characteristics was done in the representatives of the said genus. The results obtained have shown that morphological similarity does not necessarily indicate a molecular genetic relationship.

Identification of Conjugated Dienes of Fatty Acids in sp. IPPAS C-70 under Oxidative Stress.

The microalgae sp. IPPAS C-70 produces eicosapentaenoic acid. Several stresses cause the formation of fatty acid peaks that resemble hexadecadienoic acids.

Facile approach to N,O,S-heteropentacycles via condensation of sterically crowded 3-phenoxazin-3-one with substituted anilines.

A convenient method for the synthesis of a series of 2-(arylamino)-3-phenoxazin-3-ones based on the nucleophilic substitution reaction between sterically crowded 3-phenoxazin-3-one and arylamines performed by short-term heating of the melted reactants at 220-250 °C is described, and the compounds were characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray crystallography, NMR, UV-vis, and IR spectroscopy, as well as cyclic voltammetry. The reaction with -amino-, -hydroxy-, and -mercapto-substituted arylamines widened the scope and provided an access to derivatives of N,O- and N,S-heteropentacyclic quinoxalinophenoxazine, triphenodioxazine and oxazinophenothiazine systems.

The Specificities of Lysophosphatidic Acid Acyltransferase and Fatty Acid Desaturase Determine the High Content of Myristic and Myristoleic Acids in sp. IPPAS B-1200.

The cyanobacterial strain sp. IPPAS B-1200 isolated from Lake Balkhash is characterized by high relative amounts of myristic (30%) and myristoleic (10%) acids. The remaining fatty acids (FAs) are represented mainly by palmitic (20%) and palmitoleic (40%) acids.
