Through superacid activation, -(arenesulfonyl)-aminoalcohols derived from readily available ephedrines or amino acids undergo an intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction to afford enantiopure benzosultams bearing two adjacent stereocenters in high yields with fully controlled diastereoselectivity. Low-temperature NMR spectroscopy demonstrated the crucial role played by the conformationally restricted chiral dicationic intermediates.

Two fibre optic probes were custom designed to perform Raman and near-infrared spectroscopic measurements. Our long-term objective is to develop a non-destructive tool able to collect data in hard-to-access locations for real-time analysis or diagnostic purposes. This study evaluated the quantitative performances of Probe A and Probe B using model pharmaceutical tablets.

We report the design and development of a novel multifunctional nanostructure, RB-AuSiO_HSA-DOX, where tri-modal cancer treatment strategies-photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemotherapy-luminescent properties and targeting are integrated into the same scaffold. It consists of a gold core with optical and thermo-plasmonic properties and is covered by a silica shell entrapping a well-known photosensitizer and luminophore, Rose Bengal (RB). The nanoparticle surface was decorated with Human Serum Albumin (HSA) through a covalent conjugation to confer its targeting abilities and as a carrier of Doxorubicin (DOX), one of the most effective anticancer drugs in clinical chemotherapy.

Skin cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, with increasing incidence. Skin cancer is typically classified as melanoma or non-melanoma skin cancer. Although melanoma is less common than basal or squamous cell carcinomas, it is the deadliest form of cancer, with nearly 8300 Americans expected to die from it each year.

The chicken embryo has emerged as a valuable model for preclinical studies due to its unique combination of accessibility, affordability, and relevance to human biology. Its rapid development, external growth environment, and clear structural visibility offer distinct advantages over traditional mammalian models. These features facilitate the study of real-time biological processes, including tissue development, tumor growth, angiogenesis, and drug delivery, using various imaging modalities, such as optical imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, computed tomography, and ultrasound.

Keratoconus is a burden to health systems and patients worldwide. Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) treatment has been shown abroad to be cost-effective for treating progressive keratoconus. However, no cost-effectiveness studies have been performed in Brazil.
