The total synthesis of (-)-sigillin A, a highly chlorinated and oxygenated octahydroisocoumarin, is described herein. A hexahydroisocoumarin skeleton was constructed from ()-4-(trichloromethyl)oxetan-2-one in seven steps. Its unique manganese oxidation provided an enone as the key intermediate of sigillin A. Stereoselective installation of two hydroxy groups and formation of -dichloroalkene from the corresponding ketone led to the total synthesis of (-)-sigillin A in a total of 16 steps.

Clinical features of XXY may be attributable to inadequate testosterone during the mini-puberty period of infancy.
Objective: We tested the hypothesis that exogenous testosterone treatment positively effects short-term physical, hormonal, and neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants with XXY.

Objective: To synthesize evidence of surgical treatment intensity, defined as a measure of the quantity of invasive procedures, received by patients in patients with cancer within a defined time period around the 'end of life' (EoL).
Background: Concern regarding overly 'aggressive' care or high health care utilization at the EoL, particularly in cancer, is growing. The contribution surgery makes to the quality and cost of EoL care in cancer has not yet been quantified.

Introduction: Drought stress severely hampers seedling growth and root architecture, resulting in yield penalties. Seed priming is a promising approach to tolerate drought stress for stand establishment and root development.
Methods: Here, various seed priming treatments, .

Introduction: It is hypothesized that systemically administered antibiotics penetrate wound sites more effectively during negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). However, there is a lack of clinical data from patients who receive NPWT for deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) after open-heart surgery. Here, we evaluated vancomycin penetration into exudate in this patient group.
