Only recently, post-polymerization modification reactions of unactivated polyacrylates have been emerging as an attractive alternative to utilizing reactive monomers, enabling the synthetic upcycling of these widely applied polymers. Within this contribution, the triazabicyclodecene-catalyzed transesterification of polyacrylates is reported,…[Read more]

Two new 2H-pyranones (1 and 2), two new isocoumarins (4 and 5), and two known compounds (3 and 6) were obtained from solid cultures of the endophytic fungus Pestalotiopsis microspora SC3082. Their structures and revision of the absolute stereochemistry of 6 were established by spectroscopic analyses and computational calculations. Compounds 2, 4…[Read more]

Vitamin D deficiency is a common comorbidity in patients with thalassemia. However, both its prevalence and its severity vary considerably in different populations, and existing evidence is insufficient to conclude whether vitamin D supplementation is also associated with BMD improvement in this special population group.Cassava (Manihot esculenta…[Read more]

In a previous study in 2016, we presented how 129I in coral cores from the east (Baler) and west (Parola) sides of the Philippines recorded the impacts of human nuclear activities, including nuclear weapons testing, nuclear fuel reprocessing, and nuclear accidents. However, the 2016 Baler dataset only had a two-year time resolution and a crude age…[Read more]

Cetuximab appeared to be very effective, but he died of acute subdural hematoma. Continuous intravenous heparin infusion was supposed to be effective in the treatment of thrombotic microangiopathy along with the management of cancer.Gastric adenocarcinoma with enteroblastic differentiation(GAED)is a rare disease that is classified as a special…[Read more]
