An efficient method towards the synthesis of quinoline fused tricyclic compounds involving an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar nitrile oxide cycloaddition reaction utilizing Baylis-Hillman derivatives in good yields has been described for the first time. A highly functionalized tricyclic framework was created by forming two rings and two adjacent stereocentres through the formation of two N-C bonds, ...

In the absence of interaction with genetically distinct populations, changes in frequencies of distinct mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences (haplotypes) within a population are caused by mutations and genetic drift, both of which are comparatively slow processes. By contrast, interactions between populations may lead to rapid changes in haplotype frequencies [1–3], for instance through extincti...

INTRODUCTION We evaluated whether Philly Food Bucks, a bonus incentive program at farmers markets, is associated with increased fruit and vegetable consumption and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) sales at farmers markets in low-income areas. METHODS A convenience sample of 662 customers at 22 farmers markets in low-income neighborhoods in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was surve...

Individuals receiving monthly benefits through the U.S. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) often fall short of food at the end of the month and some report feelings of hunger. To investigate this situation, we used time diaries from the 2006-08 American Time Use Survey and Eating & Health Module to identify the timing of days where respondents reported no eating occurrences. Analy...

BACKGROUND Although it has long been known that a broad range of factors beyond medical diagnoses affect health and health services use, it has been unclear whether additional income can decrease health service use. We examined whether Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) receipt is associated with subsequent nursing home entry among low income older adults. METHODS We examined th...

The term Riga-Fede disease has been used to describe chronic traumatic ulceration that occurs on the ventral surface of the tongue by natal and neonatal teeth in infants. It is important to diagnose the lesion and treat it by eliminating the source of trauma. In this case report, the neonatal tooth was extracted and after 2 weeks the lesion was resolved and the baby was feeding well.In addition...

Abstract The utility for electron paramagentic resonance (EPR or ESR)-based radiation biodosimetry has received increasing recognition concerning its potential to assist in guiding the clinical management of medical countermeasures individuals unwantedly exposed injurious levels ionizing radiation. Similar any standard physical dosimetric methods currently employed screening clinically signific...
