Nineteen linkage groups containing a total of 52 markers have been identified in the sheep genome after typing large paternal half-sib families. The linkage groups range in size from 2 markers showing no recombination to a group containing 6 markers covering approximately 30 cM of the sheep genome. Thirteen of the groups have been assigned to a sheep chromosome. Three groups contain markers from bovine syntenic groups U2, U7 and U29, and one other group contains a marker that has been mapped only in humans. The remaining three groups are unassigned. This information will provide a useful foundation for a genetic linkage map of sheep.

A polysaccharide APS-1 II from a medicinal plant Angelica sinensis represents an interesting therapeutic agent against leukemia. However, the synthetic accessibility of the highly branched and complex APS-1 II polysaccharide with multiple 1, 2-cis-glycosidic linkages remains a difficult task, impeding the in-depth structure-activity relationship biological studies and the development of carbohydrates-based therapeutics against leukemia. Here, we report the first chemical synthesis of tridecasaccharide repeating unit together with shorter sequences 4-mer, 6-mer and 9-mer from APS-1 II polysaccharide via one-pot orthogonal glycosylation strategy based on glycosyl ortho-(1-phenylvinyl)benzoates, which precluded the potential issues such as aglycone transfer associated with one-pot assembly with thioglycosides.

Causes of hospitalization and mortality in persons with epilepsy: The EpiLink Bologna cohort, Italy.

Eur J Neurol

February 2025

Full Member of the European Reference Network for Rare and Complex Epilepsies (EpiCARE), IRCCS Istituto delle Scienze Neurologiche di Bologna, Bologna, Italy.

Background: Epilepsy significantly impacts on morbidity and mortality. Understanding hospitalization and mortality risks in persons with epilepsy (PWE) is essential for improving healthcare strategies. We aimed to investigate the risk and causes of hospitalization and mortality in PWE compared to a matched general population cohort.

Background: Effective interventions to reduce drowning incidents require accurate and reliable data for scientific analysis. However, the lack of high-quality evidence and the variability in drowning terminology, definitions, and outcomes present significant challenges in assessing studies to inform drowning guidelines. Many drowning reports use inappropriate classifications for drowning incidents, which significantly contributes to the underreporting of drowning.

Improving UK data on avoidable perinatal brain injury: review of data dictionaries and consultation.

Pediatr Res

January 2025

THIS Institute (The Healthcare Improvement Studies Institute), University of Cambridge, Strangeways Research Laboratory, Cambridge, CB1 8RN, UK.

Background: High quality data is important to understanding epidemiology and supporting improvement efforts in perinatal brain injury. It is not clear which data items relevant to brain injury are captured across UK sources of routinely collected data, nor what needs to be done to ensure that those sources are fit for purpose in improving care.

Methods: We reviewed data dictionaries of four main UK perinatal data sources and consulted a multi-professional group (N = 27) with expertise in neonatal/maternity care, statistics, and clinical negligence.

N-nitrosamines are a class of compounds belonging to the "cohort of concern" and characterized by the linkage of a nitroso group (-N=O) to an amine functional group (-NR). Some of these compounds are mutagenic, genotoxic, and potentially carcinogenic agents in humans, which necessitates control at acceptable safe levels. The current work presents a comprehensive risk assessment and mitigation strategy for two complex diastereomeric nitrosamines as New Drug Substance Related Impurities (NDSRIs) for miglustat 65mg capsules.
