    Abstract Sulfenyl imidinium salts are a virtually unexplored class of intermediates in organic chemistry. Herein, we demonstrate how sulfonium rearrangements can be deployed to access these versatile synthetic intermediates, bearing three contiguous (and congested) stereogenic centers, with high levels of selectivity. The synthetic value of the scaffold was unraveled by selective transformations into a range of building blocks, including 1,4-dicarbonyl derivatives and sulfonolactones.

    Abstract Spirocyclic butyrolactones and butenolides are widespread structural motifs in bioactive substances. Despite their prevalence, a simple method ensuring their direct preparation from exocyclic alkenes, ideally in a late-stage context, remains elusive. Herein, we report direct aminolactone formation using unactivated alkenes which addresses this gap, employing cheap and readily available reactants. The method relies on the hijacking of a cationic aminoalkylation pathway and affords (spiro)aminolactones with excellent functional group tolerance and chemoselectivity. The synthetic versatility of the products is demonstrated through a range of transformations, notably exploiting stereospecific rearrangement chemistry to produce sterically congested scaffolds.

    Abstract The development of reactions converting alkenes and alkynes into valuable building blocks remains one of the main goals of synthetic chemistry. Herein, we present the leveraging of highly electron-deficient iminium ions, rare and fleeting intermediates, into a general amine synthesis. This enables the preparation of amines bearing e.g. valuable α-trifluoromethyl moieties under mild conditions. This broad concept is highlighted by the late-stage amination of quinine into a biologically interesting new analogue.

    Abstract Multiple studies about tumor biology have revealed the determinant role of the tumor microenvironment in cancer progression, resulting from the dynamic interactions between tumor cells and surrounding stromal cells within the extracellular matrix. This malignant microenvironment highly impacts the efficacy of anticancer nanoparticles by displaying drug resistance mechanisms, as well as intrinsic physical and biochemical barriers, which hamper their intratumoral accumulation and biological activity.Currently, two-dimensional cell cultures are used as the initial screening method in vitro for testing cytotoxic nanocarriers. However, this fails to mimic the tumor heterogeneity, as well as the three-dimensional tumor architecture and pathophysiological barriers, leading to an inaccurate pharmacological evaluation.Biomimetic 3D in vitro tumor models, on the other hand, are emerging as promising tools for more accurately assessing nanoparticle activity, owing to their ability to recapitulate certain features of the tumor microenvironment and thus provide mechanistic insights into nanocarrier intratumoral penetration and diffusion rates.Notwithstanding, in vivo validation of nanomedicines remains irreplaceable at the preclinical stage, and a vast variety of more advanced in vivo tumor models is currently available. Such complex animal models (e.g., genetically engineered mice and patient-derived xenografts) are capable of better predicting nanocarrier clinical efficiency, as they closely resemble the heterogeneity of the human tumor microenvironment.Herein, the development of physiologically more relevant in vitro and in vivo tumor models for the preclinical evaluation of anticancer nanoparticles will be discussed, as well as the current limitations and future challenges in clinical translation.

    Abstract Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE) is a rare developmental abnormality of the lower respiratory tract. This disease is caused by cartilage or connective tissue defects, leading to overdistention of a pulmonary lobe. CLE is mainly diagnosed in early childhood, though it might be rarely found in young adults. Due to its rarity, it can be misdiagnosed with other conditions. Here we report a case of a previously healthy young female complaining of dyspnea and thoracic pain after a commercial flight. Physical and radiological examinations were consistent with the diagnosis of CLE.

    Abstract The large production of wine and almonds leads to the generation of sub-products, such as winery wastewater (WW) and almond skin. WW is characterized by its high content of recalcitrant organic matter (biodegradability index < 0.30). Therefore, the aim of this work was to (1) apply the coagulation-flocculation-decantation (CFD) process with an organic coagulant based on almond skin extract (ASE), (2) treat the organic recalcitrant matter through sulfate radical advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) and (3) evaluate the efficiency of combined CFD with UV-A, UV-C and ultrasound (US) reactors. The CFD process was applied with variation in the ASE concentration vs. pH, with results showing a chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal of 61.2% (0.5 g/L ASE, pH = 3.0). After CFD, the germination index (GI) of cucumber and corn seeds was ≥80%; thus, the sludge can be recycled as fertilizer. The SR-AOP initial conditions were achieved by the application of a Box-Behnken response surface methodology, which described the relationship between three independent variables (peroxymonosulfate (PMS) concentration, cobalt (Co

    Abstract Introduction and objectives: Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease. The number of octogenarians proposed for intervention is growing due to increased lifespan. In this manuscript we aim to evaluate perioperative outcome and long-term survival after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in octogenarians, comparing patients with low surgical risk (EuroscoreII <4%) with intermediate-high risk (EuroscoreII ≥4%).
    Methods: A retrospective observational single-center cohort study with 195 patients aged ≥80 years old, who underwent SAVR between 2017 and 2021, was conducted. Patients were divided into two groups according to EuroscoreII: (1) Low risk (EuroscoreII <4%) with intermediate-high risk (EuroscoreII ≥4%). Continuous variables are presented in median (IQR), analyzed using Wilcoxon rank sum test; categorical variables in percentages, analyzed using chi-squared test; and survival was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier, open cohort, and the log-rank test was performed.
    Results: The overall median age was 82 (IQR 81-83), with 4.6% of the patients ≥85 years old. 23.6% of the patients presented EuroscoreII ≥4%. No complications were observed in 26.2%, with a significantly higher rate in intermediate-high risk patients. Postoperative need for hemodynamic support was the most frequent complication, followed by postoperative acute kidney injury and the use of blood products. Overall median ICU stay was three days (2-4) and hospital length of stay (LOS) six days (5-8). Patients with intermediate-high risk and those with complications had longer ICU LOS. At 12 months, overall survival was 96.4%, at three years 94.1% and 5 years 75.4%. Patients with low surgical risk had higher survival proportions up to 5 years.
    Conclusion: SAVR in patients ≥80 years is associated with low in-hospital mortality, although a significant proportion of patients develop complications. Long-term follow-up up to five years after surgery is acceptable in octogenarians with low surgical risk.

    Abstract In this work, a new analytical approach is proposed for monitoring biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) by combining headspace bar adsorptive microextraction (HS-BAμE) with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The HS-BAμE methodology was developed, optimized, validated and applied for the analysis of BVOCs emitted from two tree species ( Eucalyptus globulus Labill. and Pinus pinaster Aiton) and compared with headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME), commonly accepted as a reference technique. To achieve optimum experimental conditions, numerous assays were carried out by both methodologies, studying the release of the five major monoterpenoids (α-pinene, β-pinene, myrcene, limonene and 1,8-cineole) from the leaves of the tree species, whereas the maximum selectivity and efficiency were obtained using an activated carbon and PDMS/DVB fiber as sorbent phases for HS-BAμE and HS-SPME, respectively. Under optimized experimental conditions, both methodologies showed similar profiling and proportional responses, although the latter present a higher sensitivity in the analytical configuration used. For the five monoterpenoids studied, acceptable detection limits (LODs = 5.0 μg L −1 ) and suitable linear dynamic ranges (20.0–100.0 mg L −1

    r 2 ≥ 0.9959) were achieved, and intra- and inter-day studies proved that both methodologies exhibited good results (RSD and %RE ≤ 19.9%), which indicates a good fit for the assessment of BVOCs by the HS-BAμE/GC-MS methodology. Assays performed on sampled leaves by both optimized and validated methodologies showed high levels of the five major BVOCs released from E. globulus Labill. (10.2 ± 1.3 to 7828.0 ± 40.0 μg g −1 ) and P. pinaster Aiton (9.2 ± 1.4 to 3503.8 ± 396.3 μg g −1 ), which might act as potential fuel during forest fire’s propagation, particularly under extreme atmospheric conditions. This is the first time that BAμE technology was applied in the HS sampling mode, and, in addition to other advantages, it has proven to be an effective and promising ...
