Abnormal blood pressure among individuals evaluated for tuberculosis infection in a U.S. public health tuberculosis clinic.

Tuberculosis infection (TBI) has been associated with increased cardiovascular risks. We aimed to characterize abnormal blood pressure (BP) readings in individuals with TBI. We conducted a retrospective study of adults with TBI presenting for their initial medical visit at a large midwestern U.

Flexibility in the bridge of chalcone derivatives is important for the inhibition of cellular growth.

Chalcones and their derivatives are a privileged scaffold in medicinal chemistry, demonstrating numerous biological activities. These molecules have shown significant potential toward the development of novel cancer therapies. While much is known about modification to the chalcone aryl rings, little is known about conformations of the bridge between the aryl rings.
