This communication highlights the need of building hierarchical digraphs for the unequivocal assignment of stereochemical descriptors of (-)-myrtenal, a naturally-occurring oxygenated monoterpene whose absolute configuration (AC) is sometimes misrepresented in its structural formulae. Differentiation between duplicated atoms and phantom atoms for the proper application of the sequence rules is shown to be an essential step to get a proper construction of hierarchical digraphs.

Resident macrophages play integral roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis and function. In the skin, prenatally seeded, specialized macrophages patrol sensory nerves and contribute to their regeneration after injury. However, mechanisms underlying the long-lasting postnatal commitment of these nerve-associated macrophages remain largely elusive.

The general linear model (GLM) has been widely used in research, where the error term has been treated as noise. However, compelling evidence suggests that in biological systems, the target variables may possess their innate variances. A modified GLM was proposed to explicitly model biological variance and nonbiological noise.

Background: While progress has been made in oncology treatments, including the introduction of combination therapies, barriers affect patient access. There are approaches that could improve access including combination-specific pricing that allow the price to reflect whether a product is used in monotherapy or in combination. The feasibility of this solution requires data on the utilization of combination therapies.

This study presents a comprehensive forensic investigation of a 35-year-old labourer's electrocution death in Dubai. The methodology employed included forensic medico-legal examination, histological analysis, trace evidence analysis and forensic engineering investigation.
