Reactivity of hypervalent iodine(III) reagents bearing a benzylamine with sulfenate salts.

The reactivity of our recently disclosed hypervalent iodine reagents (HIRs) bearing a benzylamine with in situ-generated sulfenate salts was investigated. Under the studied conditions sulfonamides have been obtained in up to 52% yield. This reaction has been extended to a variety of HIRs and sulfenate salts to explore the different reactivity of these new reagents.

How does the storage volume of semi-arid reservoirs change water quality and modulate the diversity of benthic macroinvertebrates?

In the current environmental crisis scenario, it becomes increasingly important to understand the hydroclimatic effects on the availability and quality of water resources and their impacts on aquatic biodiversity. The understanding of how these components are interconnected is necessary to support initiatives for monitoring and managing water resources and protecting biodiversity. In this study, we analyzed the hierarchical effects and dissociated the complex relationships between the storage volume of tropical semi-arid reservoirs on water quality and the diversity of benthic macroinvertebrates.

Surgical treatment and outcomes of pectus arcuatum.

Objective: Pectus arcuatum is a rare variant of pectus deformities that can cause varying degrees of cardiac compression. A review of the evaluation, surgical repair, and outcomes of pectus arcuatum is presented.

Methods: A retrospective review of all patients undergoing surgical treatment of pectus arcuatum at a single institution was conducted between January 1, 2010, and May 31, 2024.

Immunoinformatic predictions and characterization of Schistosoma mansoni peptides as candidates for immunodiagnostic.

Schistosoma mansoni represents a significant etiological agent of schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease with a global distribution. Although the Kato-Katz technique is an effective diagnostic tool in areas with a high prevalence of the disease, it lacks sensitivity in regions with lower prevalence. The objective of this study was to identify and validate novel immunogenic peptide targets derived from the S.
