Article Abstract

A C2 -symmetric Schiff-base ligand, derived from tridentate-Schiff-base, was developed and successfully applied to the asymmetric Michael addition of nitroalkanes to 2-enoyl-pyridine N-oxides. With this newly catalytic system, an unprecedented diastereoselectivity was obtained in the asymmetric Michael addition of nitroalkanes to 2-enoyl-pyridine N-oxides. In addition, a switch in enantioselectivity was achieved by using this newly catalytic system and our previous catalyst. After a facile reduction, the optically active adduct was converted to a biologically active dihydro-2H-pyrrol 4 a. Furthermore, a connection of two tridentate-Schiff-base subunits proved to be an effective strategy in ligand design.

Importance: The cost-effectiveness of adding early in-bed cycling to usual physiotherapy among adults receiving mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) compared with usual physiotherapy alone is unknown.

Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of in-bed cycling plus usual physiotherapy compared with usual therapy alone in the Critical Care Cycling to Improve Lower Extremity Strength (CYCLE) randomized clinical trial.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This trial-based economic evaluation with a 90-day time horizon compared early cycling plus usual physiotherapy vs usual physiotherapy alone from a societal perspective.

A Mg(OTf)-catalyzed asymmetric Michael addition/cyclization cascade reaction between 3-isothiocyanato oxindoles and 2-arylidene-1,3-indanediones has been developed. This transformation provides an efficient and concise approach to biologically important bispiro[indanedione-oxindole-pyrrolidinyl]s under mild conditions in good to excellent yields (70-99% yields) with moderate to good stereoselectivities (up to 99% and >95:5 d.r.

Background: There is limited high-quality evidence to guide plasma transfusion, and plasma transfusion practices remain variable.

Study Design And Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study that included adult medical and intensive care unit (ICU) inpatients (age ≥ 18 years) admitted to 23 hospitals in Canada between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2022, when both whole blood derived (~290 mL) and apheresis plasma (~250 mL) were available for transfusion. Nine additional hospital sites with missing plasma data or coagulation testing were excluded.

Objective: Approximately 30% of the 700 000 US Gulf War Veterans (GWVs) report symptoms collectively termed Gulf War Illness (GWI), a multisymptom illness of uncertain pathophysiology. Prior studies in GWI focus on overlap with irritable bowel syndrome. This study examines the associations between upper gastrointestinal (UGI) symptoms, GWI and specialty GI care.

Both the autonomic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis respond to systemic immune challenge by initiating anti-inflammatory reflexes. Here we compare those two homeostatic responses in vivo. We first confirmed in male urethane-anaesthetized rats that disabling the autonomic reflex by bilateral section of the splanchnic sympathetic nerves increased plasma tumor necrosis factor α (TNF) responses to systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 60 µg/kg i.
