Case Report: Exploring the clinical spectrum of LGMD R27: insights from a case study with homozygous pathogenic variant in the gene.

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) constitute a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy, predominantly affecting the muscles of the pelvic and shoulder girdles. LGMD R27, linked to biallelic pathogenic variants in the gene, was recently described, and to date, only 27 cases has been published in three reports. Here, we present two siblings exhibiting a severe clinical phenotype of LGMD R27, associated with a novel homozygous frameshift variant [c.

Quantum Spin Dynamics Due to Strong Kitaev Interactions in the Triangular-Lattice Antiferromagnet CsCeSe_{2}.

The extraordinary properties of the Kitaev model have motivated an intense search for new physics in materials that combine geometrical and bond frustration. In this Letter, we employ inelastic neutron scattering, spin wave theory, and exact diagonalization to study the spin dynamics in the perfect triangular-lattice antiferromagnet (TLAF) CsCeSe_{2}. This material orders into a stripe phase, which is demonstrated to arise as a consequence of the off-diagonal bond-dependent terms in the spin Hamiltonian.

Tuning Green Explosives through SAr Chemistry.

Reactivity and regioselectivity of SAr-type fluorine substitution with azide in polyfluorosubstituted nitrobenzenes was studied both theoretically and experimentally. The obtained polyazido-substituted nitrobenzene derivatives were extensively characterized by NMR, IR, HPLC, X-ray, and DFT methods. It was found that the substitution with the azide nucleophile occurs first at the para- and the ortho-positions to the NO-group and that transazidation reactions also occur here.
