AI Article Synopsis

  • The NMR spectra of imines and nitrones derived from benzophenone and phenylalanine or tyrosine indicate an aromatic edge-to-face interaction in solution, especially noted at low temperatures.
  • The ortho protons of the phenyl ring involved in CH-pi interactions show a significant upfield shift, with the affected signal appearing at delta 5.4-5.8 at -88 degrees C, while the introduction of a para substituent slightly influences this shift.
  • Additionally, edge-to-face interactions are also evidenced in the X-ray crystal structures of the compounds, and barriers to rotation around the syn phenyl-imino bond are measured between 10.5-11.1 kcal mol(-1).

Article Abstract

NMR spectra of imines and nitrones derived from benzophenone and phenylalanine or tyrosine show clear evidence of an aromatic edge-to-face interaction in solution. At low temperatures the two ortho protons of the edge interacting phenyl ring become topically resolved with the ortho proton NMR signal involved in the CH-pi interactions shifted well upfield (delta 5.4-5.8 at -88 degrees C) of the other ortho signal. Introduction of a para substituent into the phenylalanine ring has a modest effect on the upfield shift. The edge-to-face arrangement also manifests in the X-ray crystal structures of two of these compounds. Barriers to rotation around the syn phenyl-imino bond are also reported (10.5-11.1 kcal mol(-1)).

Introduction And Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of recurrent and active epistaxis in adult patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) and explored the association of recurrent epistaxis with demographic characteristics, comorbidities and medications, and types of emergency interventions in adult epistaxis patients.

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted with data from Eds of two tertiary hospitals over three years, from January 2019 to January 2022. All adult patients aged ≥18 years with active epistaxis not resolved by pressure on the nose or head positioning were included.

Papillomaviruses (PV) affect dogs and cats. Oral papillomas are common in young dogs and generally do not require treatment because they resolve spontaneously. The virus is spread via direct contact during play, or via indirect contact (from the environment, through fomites).

Papulopustular rosacea is an inflammatory subtype of rosacea that can significantly impair patients' quality of life. Available treatment options range from anti-inflammatory topical and oral medications to laser and light therapies. Photodynamic therapy with aminolevulinic acid (ALA-PDT) has emerged as a more recent treatment option for papulopustular rosacea.

Background: Complications after male circumcision are numerous and may be presented as an adhesion between the glans penis and the preputial remnants, these adhesions may acquire different forms and troublesome the affected children.

Patients And Methods: This is a retrospective study of 95 consecutive children of presumed glanular-preputial adhesions referred for correction of circumcision. They were assessed and classified as having either an early preputial adhesion or a well-formed skin bridge into 2 groups; group (A) who have a simple adhesion that was resolved through a conservative preputial adhesiolysis while those in the group (B) had a well-formed skin bridge, which deserves surgical correction.

Retropupillary Iris Clip Intraocular Lenses: A Case Series of 57 Eyes.

Purpose: To report visual and refractive outcomes and intraoperative and postoperative complications after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with retropupillary implantation of an iris clip intraocular lens (IOL).

Methods: This is a retrospective case series of patients who underwent secondary retropupillary intraocular lens insertion combined with pars plana vitrectomy to treat aphakia secondary to a dislocated nucleus lens (group A); or IOL dislocation (group B). Patient demographics, preoperative visual and refractive outcomes, intraoperative factors, postoperative visual and refractive outcomes, and complications within the follow-up period ranging from 6 months up to 3 years postoperative, were recorded.
