In this study, incorporation of one deuterium atom was achieved by H-D exchange of one of the two identical methylene protons in various dihalomethanes (halogen=Cl, Br, and I) through a rapid-mixing microflow reaction of lithium diisopropylamide as a strong base and deuterated methanol as a deuteration reagent. Generation of highly unstable carbenoid intermediate and suppression of its decomposition were successfully controlled under high flow-rate conditions. Monofunctionalization of diiodomethane afforded various building blocks composed of boryl, stannyl, and silyl groups. The monodeuterated diiodomethane, which served as a deuterated C1 source, was subsequently subjected to diverted functionalization methods to afford various products including biologically important molecules bearing isotope labelling at specific positions and homologation products with monodeuteration.

Background And Purpose: As the incidence and mortality rates of pancreatic cancer continue to rise, the search for effective treatments is becoming increasingly urgent. Among the therapeutic approaches, highly hypofractionated stereotactic treatments are being explored. This paper explores the potential of Very High Energy Electrons (VHEE) in the range of 80-130 MeV, in light of recent advances in compact accelerator technology and its compatibility with ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) delivery.

Using electrometric technique, the cationic antiseptic octenidine was revealed to reduce generation of transmembrane electrical potential difference in the chromatophores of photosynthetic bacterium . This is also confirmed by measurements of electrochromic shifts of carotenoid absorption bands in chromatophores. In reaction centers (RCs), isolated from chromatophores in the absence of external electron donors and acceptors, the rate of recombination between photooxidized bacteriochlorophyll P and reduced secondary quinone acceptor Q, as measured by absorption changes in the near infrared region, was very weakly dependent on the presence of antiseptics, in contrast to the kinetics in the 400-600 nm spectral range, where absorption changes associated with the oxidation of P and the formation of semiquinone radicals Q and Q, as well as electrochromic shifts of the carotenoid and bacteriopheophytin RC absorption bands, were observed.

FLASH radiotherapy is a promising technique based on the delivery of ultra-high dose rates (UHDR) to spare healthy tissue. Robust quality assurance (QA) is required to ensure a safe delivery of the treatment. QA devices such as phantoms and ionization chambers (ICs) are typically made out of polymeric materials to ensure water equivalence.

Simulations of large-scale neural activity are an increasingly important tool for investigating neural network activity. Calculating measurable brain signals, like the local field potential (LFP) from such simulations is crucial because it bridges the gap between model predictions and experimental observations and helps us better understand the information content of such signals. Accurately simulating LFPs from large-scale neural network models has, however, required highly biologically detailed models, which pose significant computational challenges, and have limited their practical application.

Radioactive isotopes have underpinned radiation medicine and research since their discovery. From early interstitial applications of radium and 137Cs to modern application of 192Ir after-loaders and 125I seeds in brachytherapy, radioisotopes remain the standard of care for several prostate, gynecologic, and head and neck malignancies. However, the continuous emission and high specific activity of sealed sources impose substantial logistical, regulatory, and security burdens.
