Demographic analysis of patients requiring ophthalmology consultation in the emergency department: A retrospective study at a tertiary care center.

This study aims to determine the necessary preventive measures from the perspective of primary care by examining the demographic characteristics and initial diagnoses of patients who were evaluated by an ophthalmologist following an emergency consultation request. Individuals over the age of 18 who had complete data and were referred for ophthalmic consultation from the emergency department within in 2022 were included in the study. The study retrospectively reviewed the patients' age, gender, diagnoses, status of ophthalmic consultation, whether a forensic report was prepared, and the outcomes of follow-up, hospitalization, or discharge.

Health anxiety and somatosensory amplification in adolescents with unexplained chest pain: A comparative study.

Background And Objectives: Chest pain of unknown origin in adolescents might be related to biopsychosocial factors. The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between somatic amplification of bodily sensations and health anxiety in adolescents with unexplained chest pain.

Method: The study analysed 111 adolescents with unexplained chest pain at a paediatric cardiology outpatient clinic from June to September 2018, along with a control group of 78 cases.

Light-Mediated Formal Radical Deoxyfluorination of Tertiary Alcohols through Selective Single-Electron Oxidation with TEDA.

The synthesis of tertiary alkyl fluorides through a formal radical deoxyfluorination process is described herein. This light-mediated, catalyst-free methodology is fast and broadly applicable allowing for the preparation of C-F bonds from (hetero)benzylic, propargylic, and non-activated tertiary alcohol derivatives. Preliminary mechanistic studies support that the key step of the reaction is the single-electron oxidation of cesium oxalates-which are readily available from the corresponding tertiary alcohols-with in situ generated TEDA (TEDA: N-(chloromethyl)triethylenediamine), a radical cation derived from Selectfluor®.
