Hypoglycemic episodes predict length of stay in patients with acute burns.

Hypoglycemic episodes are associated with worse hospital outcomes. All adult patients admitted to our burn center from 2015 to 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient demographics and burn characteristics were recorded.

Convergent and Stereoselective Method for the Synthesis of Acyclic α-Chloroenamides.

A direct, stereocontrolled synthesis of acyclic α-chloroenamides is presented. Our methodology showed good yields and substrate scope. Mechanistic insights are provided that account for the high levels of stereoselectivity reported.

Small Pediatric Burns Can Be Safely Managed on an Outpatient Basis.

American Burn Association (ABA) guidelines recommend that all pediatric burns be transferred to a burn center if their presenting hospital lacks the necessary personnel or equipment for their care. Our institution often treats small burns (<10% TBSA) in pediatric patients in an ambulatory setting with a nondaily dressing. The aim of this study was to determine whether small pediatric burns could be safely managed on an outpatient basis.

A Protocol for Direct Stereospecific Amination of Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Alkylboronic Esters.

The direct, stereospecific amination of alkylboronic and borinic esters can be conducted by treatment of the organoboron compound with methoxyamine and potassium -butoxide. In addition to being stereospecific, this process also enables the direct amination of tertiary boronic esters in an efficient fashion.
