Expanding Medical Student Knowledge and Impacting Patient Outcomes Through a Student-Run Clinic: A Case-Based Reflection.

Cryptogenic stroke is a debilitating condition that requires follow-up care and treatment that is appropriate for the underlying etiology. Here, we present the case of a 46-year-old uninsured patient with an undocumented immigration status who presented to our student-run clinic (SRC) for the management of her post-stroke care. She initially presented to an outside hospital with focal neurological deficits, was diagnosed with an acute stroke, and was told to follow up with a primary care provider.

Measures of Emergency Department Crowding, a Systematic Review. How to Make Sense of a Long List.

Emergency department (ED) crowding, a common and serious phenomenon in many countries, lacks standardized definition and measurement methods. This systematic review critically analyzes the most commonly studied ED crowding measures. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.

Hypervalent iodine reactions utilized in carbon-carbon bond formations.

Advances in hypervalent iodine chemistry have put the field on the precipice of a second golden age; the first being pioneered in the 1990s. During that period, C-C bond forming reactions would be published but rarely with the intended goal of developing a C-C bond forming methodology. More recently, the development of hypervalent iodine-guided electrophilic substitution, arylations using hypervalent iodine, and photoredox reactions with hypervalent iodine have shown great progress in the area of C-C bond formation.

BMAL1 controls glucose uptake through paired-homeodomain transcription factor 4 in differentiated Caco-2 cells.

The transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like protein-1 (BMAL1) is an essential regulator of the circadian clock, which controls the 24-h cycle of physiological processes such as nutrient absorption. To examine the role of BMAL1 in small intestinal glucose absorption, we used differentiated human colon adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2 cells). Here, we show that BMAL1 regulates glucose uptake in differentiated Caco-2 cells and that this process is dependent on the glucose transporter sodium-glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1).

Hypervalent iodine-guided electrophilic substitution: -selective substitution across aryl iodonium compounds with benzyl groups.

The reactivity of benzyl hypervalent iodine intermediates was explored in congruence with the reductive iodonio-Claisen rearrangement (RICR) to show that there may be an underlying mechanism which expands the reasoning behind the previously known C-C bond-forming reaction. By rationalizing the hypervalent iodine's metal-like properties it was concluded that a transmetallation mechanism could be occurring with metalloid groups such as silicon and boron. Hypervalent iodine reagents such as Zefirov's reagent, cyclic iodonium reagents, iodosobenzene/BF, and PhI(OAc)/BF or triflate-based activators were tested.
