Purpose: We sought to evaluate outcomes for clinical management after a genetic diagnosis from the Deciphering Developmental Disorders study.

Methods: Individuals in the Deciphering Developmental Disorders study who had a pathogenic/likely pathogenic genotype in the DECIPHER database were selected for inclusion ( = 5010). Clinical notes from regional clinical genetics services notes were reviewed to assess predefined clinical outcomes relating to interventions, prenatal choices, and information provision.

An acid-promoted dearomative rearrangement of -arylhydroxylamines affords 2-aminocyclohexadien-1-ones, which can in turn be reductively quenched for the synthesis of -aminoalcohols on a cyclohexadiene core. This method serves as an efficient entry to the pharmaceutically relevant 1-arylcyclohexylamine scaffold in two steps (one purification) from commercially available or readily prepared 2-arylphenols.

Article Synopsis
  • Hypertension is a significant risk factor for both stroke and cognitive decline, but its specific impact on cognitive impairment after a stroke is still uncertain.
  • In a study with C57BL/6J mice, researchers induced hypertension and then conducted strokes to assess cognitive outcomes using the Barnes maze and analyzed the brain's transcriptomic profile through RNA sequencing.
  • Results indicated that hypertensive mice experienced worse cognitive performance and more brain injury compared to normotensive mice after a stroke, with over 1500 genes linked to neuroinflammation being differentially expressed.

The availability of stability data for the use of continuous intravenous flucloxacillin in an elastomeric device has enabled the treatment of serious Methicillin Sensitive (MSSA) in the outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) setting. This service review aimed to evaluate current standard of care to establish the clinical effectiveness and complication rates associated with its use since its introduction at our institution. A retrospective review of clinical outcomes and adverse events/complications, was undertaken for all patients who received continuous infusion flucloxacillin for complicated MSSA infection between January 2019 and July 2022 via our OPAT service.
