Article Abstract
We describe the first total synthesis of cinnamodial-based dimer (-)-capsicodendrin. First, we developed a 12-step synthetic route to access (-)-cinnamodial from 1-vinyl-2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexene. We then showed that (-)-cinnamodial can selectively dimerize to (-)-capsicodendrin under kinetically controlled basic conditions. Our observations regarding a facile conversion of (-)-capsicodendrin back to (-)-cinnamodial hint at the possibility that (-)-capsicodendrin is a chemical reservoir of insecticidal (-)-cinnamodial and genus plants release it upon environmental stresses.

Assessment of different preservation techniques for human skeletal muscle biopsy samples: A comparative method study on freeze-drying, RNAlater, and RNAlater-ICE.

Human skeletal muscle comprises slow-twitch (type I) and fast-twitch (type II) fibers. Fiber type-specific analyses often require manual isolation of fibers, necessitating effective tissue preservation. While freeze-drying remains the standard, alternative preservation methods such as RNAlater and RNAlater-ICE are increasingly used.

This study investigated the effects of fermentable fiber and polyphenol supplementation on mood and cognition following rapid ascent to simulated 4300 m. Healthy adults (n = 13, 21 ± 3 years) participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study consisting of three, 2-week phases separated by ≥1 week. Food products containing the fiber and polyphenol supplement or placebo were consumed during each phase.

Background: Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) bears the highest global burden of cervical cancer. Living with the disease is a complex experience, leading to significant changes across various biopsychosocial dimensions, which in turn affect the quality of life of affected women.
Aims: This review aimed to synthesize available scientific evidence on the life experiences of women diagnosed with cervical cancer in SSA in order to generate valuable insights into the care of the affected population.

Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of proximal core training on biomechanical risk factors and strength parameters in individuals at high risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury (specifically: those exhibiting pathological movement patterns, neuromuscular deficits or biomechanical risk factors) and compared direct versus indirect interventions. We hypothesised that targeted training enhances dynamic knee stabilisation and hip control during high-risk manoeuvres, with direct approaches providing superior biomechanical benefits through neuromuscular control optimisation.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis using the Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.
