Quantum dot-labelled polymer beads by suspension polymerisation.

CdSe quantum dots with polymerisable ligands have been incorporated into polystyrene beads, via a suspension polymerisation reaction, as a first step towards the optical encoding of solid supports for application in solid phase organic chemistry.

Sonoelectrochemical effects in electro-organic systems.

This paper describes recent studies in organic sonoelectrochemistry at Coventry University, including the oxidation of thiophene monoxides, degradation of dye pollutants, formation of conducting polymers and electrosynthetic modification of proteins.

Malignancy: Case report: Myelodysplasia Following Treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia with Fludarabine.

Recently there has been an increased awareness of a possible link between the use of purine nucleoside analogues and myelodysplasia. We report the case of a patient who developed myelodysplasia with complex cytogenetic changes after receiving fludarabine. We review the literature, discuss the possible links between myelodysplasia and nucleoside analogues and putative mechanisms for secondary neoplasia.
