[Training in haemophilia aimed at private practice nurses].

At the crossroads between the care delivered in the hospital and community nursing care, private practice nurses occupy a central role in supporting children with haemophilia and their family. Dedicated training helps to maintain the link with hospital structures and enables them to exchange with other professionals regarding practices, treatment difficulties and the contribution of new technologies in the care provision.

New and general synthesis of beta-C-glycosylformaldehydes from easily available beta-C-glycosylpropanones.

A highly effective method for the introduction of a formyl group at the anomeric position of pyranosides was developed via enolisation of beta-C-D-glycopyranosylpropan-2-one using thermodynamic conditions then oxidative cleavage of the more substituted double bond. This sequence affords the desired aldehydes that are conveniently protected as aminals for purification and storage and easily regenerated using Dowex resin H+. In this paper, the syntheses of nine differently protected aldehydes derived from d-glucose, d-galactose, lactose and N-acetyl-d-glucosamine are presented.
