Article Synopsis
  • * Results showed high sensitivity for detecting fractures and pneumothorax (100% for both), moderate for pulmonary opacity (AI: 76%, resident: 71%), and lower sensitivity for pulmonary nodules (AI: 33%, resident: 75%).
  • * The AI system also frequently labeled cases as "doubtful," while the resident showed more confidence; overall, the agreement between the AI and the resident was only fair, suggesting limitations of the AI in detecting some important findings.

A novel methodology for the preparation of chiral methyl benzylic compounds is reported. Terminal homoallyl sulfones were prepared from homoallyl alcohols, which are easily accessible through the recently reported Lewis acid isomerization of oxetanes. The iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of homoallylic sulfones afforded γ-chiral sulfones with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee).

Deception Island volcano (Antarctica) is one of the most closely monitored and studied volcanoes on the region. In January 2005, a multi-parametric international experiment was conducted that encompassed both Deception Island and its surrounding waters. We performed this experiment from aboard the Spanish oceanographic vessel 'Hespérides', and from five land-based locations on Deception Island (the Spanish scientific Antarctic base 'Gabriel de Castilla' and four temporary camps).
