Symptomatic presentation and imaging features of a chylous cystic lymphangioma.

A woman in her 60s presenting with 5 days of diffuse abdominal pain was diagnosed preoperatively with a chylolymphatic mesenteric cyst. MRI and CT imaging demonstrated a 5.8 cm unilocular cyst containing a fluid-fluid level within the mesentery.

Merging the Isonitrile-Tetrazine (4+1) Cycloaddition and the Ugi Four-Component Reaction into a Single Multicomponent Process.

Multicomponent reactions are of utmost importance at generating a unique, wide, and complex chemical space. Herein we describe a novel multicomponent approach based on the combination of the isonitrile-tetrazine (4+1) cycloaddition and the Ugi four-component reaction to generate pyrazole amide derivatives. The scope of the reaction as well as mechanistic insights governing the 4H-pyrazol-4-imine tautomerization are provided.

X-linked hydrocephalus genes: Their proximity to telomeres and high A + T content compared to Parkinson's disease.

Proximity to telomeres (i) and high adenine and thymine (A + T) content (ii) are two factors associated with high mutation rates in human chromosomes. We have previously shown that >100 human genes when mutated to cause congenital hydrocephalus (CH) meet either factor (i) or (ii) at 91% matching, while two factors are poorly satisfied in human genes associated with familial Parkinson's disease (fPD) at 59%. Using the sets of mouse, rat, and human chromosomes, we found that 7 genes associated with CH were located on the X chromosome of mice, rats, and humans.
