Published: April 2019

New protocols for controlled reduction of carboxamides to either alcohols or amines were established using a combination of sodium hydride (NaH) and zinc halides (ZnX ). Use of a different halide on ZnX dictates the selectivity, wherein the NaH-ZnI system delivers alcohols and NaH-ZnCl gives amines. Extensive mechanistic studies by experimental and theoretical approaches imply that polymeric zinc hydride (ZnH ) is responsible for alcohol formation, whereas dimeric zinc chloride hydride (H-Zn-Cl) is the key species for the production of amines.

To assess and compare two techniques of low-level laser application-transgingival (TLLLT) and intrasulcular (ILLLT)-used in photobiomodulation as an adjunct to basic periodontal therapy (BPT) in patients with periodontitis. A randomized, split-mouth, double-blind clinical trial was conducted, selecting three diseased periodontal sites from different quadrants in each patient. These sites were assigned to one of three treatment groups: SRP (control), SRP + TLLLT (test 1), and SRP + ILLLT (test 2).

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is recognized as an effective intervention for renal stones measuring less than 20 mm. This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel flexible kidney-fixed position compared to the conventional lithotomy position, focusing on lithotripsy efficiency and stone-free rates (SFR). A total of 100 patients undergoing unilateral RIRS between January 2023 and September 2024 were randomly allocated to either the conventional lithotomy position group or the kidney-fixed position group.

:BACKGROUND: This randomized, open-label study examined the therapeutic effects of computerized cognitive training (CCT) combined with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) on cognitive impairment among patients with late-life depression (LLD). : METHOD: Study data were collected from May 5, 2021, to April 21, 2023. Outpatients who met diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder according to the fifth revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) criteria (HAMD-17) ≥ 18 and a total score on the MOCA) <26 were randomly assigned to receive up to 12 weeks of CCT and SSRIs treatment (n = 57) or SSRIs and Control treatment (n = 61).

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization Inc., Princeton, NJ, USA.

Background: Patients with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease may experience multiple different agitation symptoms - including excessive motor activity, verbal aggression, and physical aggression - at varying frequencies. The efficacy of brexpiprazole 2 or 3 mg/day on 29 individual agitation behaviors (Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory [CMAI] items) was previously evaluated. Building upon that work, this post hoc analysis aimed to determine the efficacy of brexpiprazole on the same individual agitation behaviors, but specifically focusing on those patients who were frequently experiencing the behaviors at baseline.

Background: A reduction in the frequency of agitation behaviors is a clinically meaningful outcome among patients with agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. This post hoc analysis aimed to determine the percentage of patients treated with brexpiprazole who achieved sustained clinically meaningful response (CMR), over 12 and 24 weeks.

Method: Data for brexpiprazole 2 or 3 mg/day were obtained from two trials of patients with agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease: a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.
