Published: September 2016

A mild and general protocol for the Pd(0)-catalyzed heteroannulation of o-bromoanilines and alkynes is described. Application of a Pd(0)/P((t)Bu)3 catalyst system enables the efficient coupling of o-bromoanilines at 60 °C, mitigating deleterious side reactions and enabling access to a broad range of useful unnatural tryptophans. The utility of this new protocol is demonstrated in the highly convergent total synthesis of the bisindole natural product (-)-aspergilazine A.

Effectiveness of non-operative methods of treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome: a narrative review.

Wiad Lek

January 2025

DEPARTAMENT OF GENERAL NAD HAND SURGERY, STUDENT'S SCIENTIFIC CIRCLE, POMERANIAN MEDICAL UNIVERSITY, SZCZECIN, POLAND.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can be treated with several methods, including surgical and non-surgical techniques. Non-surgical methods include wrist splinting, systemic pharmacotherapy, intracarpal injections of steroids hydrodissection, acupuncture, nerve and tendon mobilization, osteopathy, taping, topical application of ointments, laser, ultrasound and shock-wave therapies. These treatments are generally less effective than surgery, and provide only short-lived effect, but it may be quite sufficient for a certain category of patients, particularly those suffering from mild symptoms.

Assessing Traumatic Brain Injury in Refugees: Feasibility, Usability, and Prevalence Insights From a US-Based Clinical Sample.

J Head Trauma Rehabil

January 2025

Author Affiliations: Boston University School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts (Ms Sherman Rosa); Department of Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts (Mr Nadal); and Department of Neurology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts (Dr Saadi).

Objective: This study assessed (1) the feasibility and usability of traumatic brain injury (TBI) assessment using the Ohio State University TBI Identification Method (OSU-TBI-ID) in a sample of English and Spanish-speaking refugees and asylum seekers (hereafter refugees), and (2) the prevalence and characteristics of TBI in this population.

Setting And Participants: Refugees seeking care from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Asylum Clinic, the MGH Chelsea HealthCare Center, and other asylum programs in the Greater Boston Area.

Design And Main Measures: Bilingual clinical research coordinators screened 158 English and Spanish-speaking refugees using the OSU-TBI-ID.

Lightweight flexible piezoelectric devices have garnered significant interest over the past few decades due to their applications as energy harvesters and wearable sensors. Among different piezoelectrically active polymers, poly(vinylidene fluoride) and its copolymers have attracted considerable attention for energy conversion due to their high flexibility, thermal stability, and biocompatibility. However, the orientation of polymer chains for self-poling under mild conditions is still a challenging task.

Cathodic Deoxygenative Alkylation of Nitro(hetero)arenes with Organic Halides.

Org Lett

January 2025

School of Environmental and Chemical Engineering, Wuyi University, Jiangmen 529090, P. R. China.

We have realized a cathodic deoxygenative alkylation between nitro(hetero)arenes and organic halides, employing bis(pinacolato)diboron (Bpin) and LiCl as additives to trap and stabilize the generated alkyl radicals and carbanions, thereby facilitating efficient N-O cleavage and selective C-N bond formation. The protocol offers an economical method for the efficient synthesis of multiple aromatic(hetero) amines, without the need for reactive reductants and the exclusion of air and moisture. Notably, the protocol is distinguished by scalability, broad functional group compatibility, and safe and mild conditions, demonstrating practicality in the synthesis and late-stage modification of various bioactive compounds.
