The addition of Barton's base has a dramatic effect on the classic rhodium(III)-mediated hydrogenations promoted by Wilkinson's catalyst. Following the initial oxidative addition, a barrierless reductive elimination of HCl from the traditional rhodium(III) intermediates instantly produces a rhodium(I) monohydride species, which is remarkably reactive in the hydrogenation of several internal alkynes and functionalized trisubstituted alkenes. The direct formation of this species is unprecedented upon addition of molecular hydrogen and its catalytic potential has been hitherto barely explored.

In the presence of Wilkinson's catalyst, the -sulfinyl metalloenamines derived from NH-deprotonation of β,β-disubstituted enesulfinamides undergo nucleophilic allylic substitution with allyl carbonate, affording α-allylated ketimines with high stereoselectivity. These allylation products possess challenging acyclic quaternary stereocenters containing one allyl group and two alkyl groups that are both sterically and electronically similar (., Me and Et).

Visualization and analysis of large chemical reaction networks become rather challenging when conventional graph-based approaches are used. As an alternative, we propose to use the chemical cartography ("chemography") approach, describing the data distribution on a 2-dimensional map. Here, the Generative Topographic Mapping (GTM) algorithm - an advanced chemography approach - has been applied to visualize the reaction path network of a simplified Wilkinson's catalyst-catalyzed hydrogenation containing some 10 structures generated with the help of the Artificial Force Induced Reaction (AFIR) method using either Density Functional Theory or Neural Network Potential (NNP) for potential energy surface calculations.

Background: COVID-19 is known to be associated with increased risks of cognitive and psychiatric outcomes after the acute phase of disease. We aimed to assess whether these symptoms can emerge or persist more than 1 year after hospitalisation for COVID-19, to identify which early aspects of COVID-19 illness predict longer-term symptoms, and to establish how these symptoms relate to occupational functioning.
Methods: The Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study of adults (aged ≥18 years) who were hospitalised with a clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 at participating National Health Service hospitals across the UK.
Moyamoya arteriopathy is a condition where chronic, progressive stenosis of large intracranial arteries, primarily of the anterior circulation, results in ischemia and the growth of small, abnormal collateral vessels. There is increasing evidence that infectious pathologies, such as COVID-19, may serve as a sort of trigger, or "second hit," for the development of moyamoya arteriopathy. In this article, we present the case of a 13-year-old female with Down syndrome and unilateral moyamoya arteriopathy who developed contralateral internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection and thrombus in the setting of a positive COVID-19 test and subsequently developed rapidly progressive contralateral ICA and bilateral anterior cerebral artery (ACA) moyamoya-like stenosis.

Previous research links resting frontal gamma power to key developmental outcomes in young neurotypical (NT) children and infants at risk for language impairment. However, it remains unclear whether gamma power is specifically associated with language or with more general cognitive abilities among young children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The current study evaluates differences in resting frontal gamma power between young autistic and NT children and tests whether gamma power is uniquely associated with individual differences in expressive language, receptive language and non-verbal cognitive abilities in autistic and NT children.
