The Cu(II)-catalyzed addition of two molecules of a 3-aryl-2H-azirine to diazotetramic or diazotetronic acids proceeds as a domino reaction with the formation of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives with ortho-fused (pyrrolo[3,4-b]pyrrol or furo[3,4-b]pyrrol) and spiro-cyclic (1-oxa-4,7-diazaspiro[4.4]nonane or 1,7-dioxa-4-azaspiro[4.4]nonane) substituents at the N2 position. The disclosed reaction is a ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of temperature-controlled thermal blanket as additional thermoprotection. DESIGN Randomized controlled prospective study. SETTING Single-center tertiary neonatal unit. PATIENTS Inborn very low-birth-weight (< 1,500 g) infants. INTERVENTIONS Infants were prospectively assigned to thermal blanket group or control at 1:1 ratio. Additional to radiant...

School adjustment is one the greatest challenges in residential child care programs. This study has two aims: to analyze school adjustment compared to a normative population, and to carry out a multi-source analysis (child, classmates, and teacher) of this adjustment. A total of 50 classrooms containing 60 children from residential care units were studied. The "Método de asignación de atributos...

tive study is necessary if the use of a patient’s own blood as a tattooing method is to become widely accepted as the new standard technique. Furthermore, comparative studies with other new injection materials, such as a pure carbon suspension [8] or iodineactivated indocyanine green [9], may be necessary. This paper proposes a safe and simple method of using a patient’s own blood to localize e...

In this paper we present the outline of a method that combines a divide-and-conquer approach, that is common in knowledge acquisition and software engineering , with the use of inductive techniques. The idea is to guide decomposition of a knowledge acquisition problem into subpr oblems by the expected costs and beneets of applying elicitation or induction t o acquire the knowledge for part of t...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of percutaneous drainage with single-session alcohol sclerotherapy in the treatment of symptomatic simple renal cysts. Thirty patients (16 men and 14 women, average age 54,7+/-11,3 years) with simple renal cysts were treated by ultrasound guided percutaneous aspiration and single-session alcohol sclerotherapy. Patient demographics, clinical char...

A novel recognition method for selective determination of the hyoscine N-Butyl bromide (HBB), an antispasmodic agent for smooth muscles, was devised using extended gate field-effect transistor (EG-FET) as transducing unit. For this purpose a PVC membrane, containing hyoscine n-butyl-tetraphenyl borate ion-pair as recognition component, was coated on Ag/AgCl wire, which was connected to the exte...
