Published: October 2011

The formal synthesis of the marine natural product (-)-cyanolide A is presented. The synthetic strategy is centered on two acyclic diastereoselective reactions and a single cyclic reaction with modest to excellent dr based on an initial stereocenter. Most notable is a highly stereoselective oxocarbenium reduction based on a "mismatched" reactive conformer to afford the β-C-glycoside subunit leading to an efficient synthesis of the diolide aglycon in 12 overall steps.

Individual enhancers are defined as short genomic regulatory elements, bound by transcription factors, and able to activate cell-specific gene expression at a distance, in an orientation-independent manner. Within mammalian genomes, enhancer-like elements may be found individually or within clusters referred to as locus control regions or super-enhancers (SEs). While these behave similarly to individual enhancers with respect to cell specificity, distribution and distance, their orientation-dependence has not been formally tested.

Background: Ageing results in diminished adaptability, as well as declines in physiological and psychological functions and resilience. The epigenetic clock 'Phenotypic Age' (PhenoAge) represents 'preclinical ageing'. Phenotypic Age Acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) is defined as the residual from a linear regression model predicting PhenoAge on the basis of chronological age.

Purpose: In patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), adequate oxygenation is crucial to optimize survival and neurological outcome. However, supranormal oxygen partial pressure (PaO) only leads to minor increase in cerebral oxygen delivery but can cause numerous pathophysiological disturbances. Therefore, we aimed to study effects of hyperoxia on patient outcome and identify optimum PaO ranges.

Objective: Machine learning (ML), a subtype of artificial intelligence (AI), presents predictive modeling and dynamic diagnostic tools to facilitate early interventions and improve decision-making. Considering the global challenges of maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality, ML holds the potential to enable significant improvements in maternal and neonatal health outcomes. We aimed to conduct a comprehensive review of ML applications in peripartum care, summarizing the potential of these tools to enhance clinical decision-making and identifying emerging trends and research gaps.

Omissions or delays in desmopressin can result in serious patient harm in patients with Arginine-Vasopressin Deficiency (AVP-D), formally known as Cranial Diabetes Insipidus (CDI). Desmopressin administration practice in hospitals has not been thoroughly investigated previously. This study evaluated desmopressin prescription and administration practice at a large tertiary centre.
