The previously unreported combination of nucleophilic phosphine catalysis and energy transfer catalysis allows for the rapid construction of structurally distinct 2-oxabicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes (2-oxa-BCH) from readily available building blocks with high atom economy.

Background: Pruritus, skin pain, and sleep disturbance are a significant burden to individuals with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) and negatively impact quality of life. Fit-for-purpose patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) that assess AD-related pruritus, skin pain, and sleep disturbance are important for evaluating the effectiveness of new AD treatments.

Objectives: To evaluate content validity of five AD-related PROMs in adolescents and adults with moderate-to-severe AD (the Worst Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale [NRS], the AD Skin Pain NRS; the Sleep Disturbance NRS, the skin pain-specific Patient Global Impression of Change [PGIC], and the skin pain-specific Patient Global Impression of Severity [PGIS]) and to assess patient-reported experience with pruritus, skin pain, and sleep disturbance.

Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the esophagus leading to symptoms of esophageal dysfunction; dysphagia is the most common symptom experienced by adults and adolescents.

Objective: We sought to perform a psychometric evaluation of the Dysphagia Symptom Questionnaire (DSQ), a patient-reported outcome measure for patients with EoE.

Methods: Using baseline and week 24 data from the randomized, interventional, multinational phase 3 R668-EE-1774 trial (NCT03633617), the measurement properties of the DSQ-including reliability, construct and known-groups validity, responsiveness, and interpretation of change-were evaluated.
