Carbon dioxide exhibits many of the qualities of an ideal reagent: it is nontoxic, plentiful, and inexpensive. Unlike other gaseous reagents, however, it has found limited use in enantioselective synthesis. Moreover, unprecedented is a tool that merges one of the simplest biological approaches to catalysis-Brønsted acid/base activation-with this abundant reagent. We describe a metal-free small molecule catalyst that achieves the three component reaction between a homoallylic alcohol, carbon dioxide, and an electrophilic source of iodine. Cyclic carbonates are formed enantioselectively.

Dermatologist Driven Aesthetic Nail Enhancement.
Indian Dermatol Online J
December 2024
Department of Dermatology, Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital and University College of Medical Sciences, Delhi, India.
Background: Nail aesthetic procedures so far have been a neglected domain of nail medicine. With changing times, more people are getting sensitized towards nail enhancement; hence, there is an ever-increasing need for dermatologist driven aesthetic nail procedures.
Discussion: The management of various nail disorders takes a long time and might not be very rewarding with regard to complete aesthetic improvement.
Clinical consequence of hypophosphatemia during antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis B.

Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Antiviral therapy is an essential treatment for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. Although hypophosphatemia is an important adverse effect of antiviral agents, its clinical significance remains unclear. We investigated the incidence and clinical consequences of hypophosphatemia in a large cohort of CHB patients.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the combination of shaking and various anaerobic treatments on the aroma quality of gabaron oolong tea (GAOT) by chemical and sensory evaluation. The results showed that elevated anaerobic treatment harmed GAOT aroma, emphasizing undesirable attributes such as earthy, fatty, etc. A total of 85 volatiles were identified by gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS), and the relationship between aroma attributes and volatiles were revealed by PLS regression projection and correlation network.

Methods: Between April 2022 and December 2023, 234 children with simple CHD who underwent CPB via a right-side small incision approach were separated into a control group (n = 93) without the use of a CO field-flooding device and a treatment group (n = 141) in which this device was added to the traditional surgical manual exhaust. Demographic, perioperative, arterial blood gas (ABG), and laboratory test data were then compared between these groups of patients.
Spatio-temporal analysis of formaldehyde and its association with atmospheric and environmental variables over the Southeast Asian region using satellite data.
Environ Monit Assess
January 2025
Bhaskaracharya College of Applied Sciences, University of Delhi, New Delhi, Delhi, 110078, India.
This study investigates the spatio-temporal distribution of formaldehyde (HCHO) over the mainland Southeast Asian region (including Northeast India) from 2019 to 2022 using TROPOMI satellite data. HCHO is a key atmospheric trace gas which is influenced by both natural processes and anthropogenic activities. We analyze HCHO levels in relation to atmospheric species including carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO), and environmental factors such as land surface temperature (LST), precipitation (PPT), fire radiative power (FRP), and enhanced vegetation index (EVI).
