Isolation and semisynthetic modification of the fungal metabolite chaetocin gave access to a desulfurized analogue of this natural product. Detailed chiroptical studies, comparing experimentally obtained optical rotation values, electronic circular dichroism spectra, and vibrational circular dichroism spectra to computationally simulated ones, reveal the desulfurization of chaetocin to unambiguously proceed with retention of configuration. Consideration of the plausible mechanisms for this process highlighted inconsistencies in the stereochemical assignment of related molecules in the literature. This in turn allowed the stereochemical reassignment of the natural product analogue dethiodehydrogliotoxin.

This study quantifies the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on hospitalization for COVID-19 infection in a South African private health insurance population. This retrospective cohort study is based on the analysis of demographic and claims records for 550,332 individuals belonging to two health insurance funds between 1 March 2020 and 31 December 2022. A Cox Proportional Hazards model was used to estimate the impact of vaccination (non-vaccinated, partly vaccinated, fully vaccinated) on COVID-19 hospitalization risk; and zero-inflated negative binomial models were used to estimate the impact of vaccination on hospital utilization and hospital expenditure for COVID-19 infection, with adjustments for age, sex, comorbidities and province of residence.

Trade in wood and forest products spans the global supply chain. Illegal logging and associated trade in forest products present a persistent threat to vulnerable ecosystems and communities. Illegal timber trade has been linked to violations of tax and conservation laws, as well as broader transnational crimes.
