Concise total synthesis of metacridamides A and B was accomplished through repetitive vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reactions and ynamide-mediated macrolactonization. Spectral data of both synthetic products were identical to those of the natural products, resulting in the revision of the absolute configuration of the C-9 position to be .

Nutrition Module: Addressing the Nutrition Education Gap in Undergraduate Medical Curricula via a Novel Approach.
Med Sci Educ
December 2024
Department of Neurology, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, Winston-Salem, NC USA.
Article Synopsis
- Many medical curricula lack sufficient nutrition education, which is crucial for health outcomes.
- A new online nutrition module was developed and tested on 15 medical students, showing a significant increase in knowledge from pre-assessment to post-assessment.
- The module was effective in teaching essential nutrition topics and demonstrated that students retained most of the information even two months later.
Synthesis of acenaphthylene-fused heteroarenes and polyoxygenated benzo[]fluoranthenes via a Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura/C-H arylation cascade.

Acenaphthylene-fused heteroarenes with a variety of five- and six-membered heterocycles such as thiophene, furan, benzofuran, pyrazole, pyridine and pyrimidine were synthesized via an efficient Pd-catalyzed reaction cascade in good to high yields (45-90%). This cascade involves an initial Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between 1,8-dihalonaphthalenes and heteroarylboronic acids or esters, followed by an intramolecular C-H arylation under the same conditions to yield the final heterocyclic fluoranthene analogues. The method was further employed to access polyoxygenated benzo[]fluoranthenes, which are all structurally relevant to benzo[]fluoranthene-based fungal natural products.

Background: We aimed to evaluate the incremental predictive value of metabolomic biomarkers for assessing the 10-year risk of type 2 diabetes when added to the clinical Cambridge Diabetes Risk Score (CDRS).
Methods: We utilized 86,232 UK Biobank (UKB) participants (recruited between 13 March 2006 and 1 October 2010) for model derivation and internal validation. Additionally, we included 4383 participants from the German ESTHER cohort (recruited between 1 July 2000 and 30 June 2002 for external validation).
Total synthesis of twenty-five picrotoxanes by virtual library selection.
Nature
December 2024
Department of Chemistry, Scripps Research, La Jolla, California, USA.
The synthesis of a complex molecule begins from an initial design stage in which possible routes are triaged by strategy and feasibility, based on analogy to similar reactions. However, as molecular complexity increases, predictability decreases; inevitably, even experienced chemists resort to trial-and-error to identify viable intermediates en route to the target molecule. We encountered such a problem in the synthesis of picrotoxane sesquiterpenes in which pattern recognition methods anticipated success, but small variations in structure led to failure.

Abstract: Despite the increasing utilization of total ankle replacement (TAR) for end-stage ankle arthritis, there remains a paucity of long-term follow-up data comparing arthroplasty to arthrodesis. The aim of the current paper was to provide the long-term clinical outcomes of TAR and ankle arthrodesis (AA), measured with use of validated scoring instruments, in a prospective multicenter cohort of patients with ankle arthritis. This cohort from the Canadian Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (COFAS) Prospective Ankle Reconstruction Database comprised patients who underwent TAR or AA between 2001 and 2007.
