    Abstract We report the synthesis of acyl hydrazides from acylsilanes in the presence of visible light without the aid of additives or transition metals. Acylsilanes underwent [1,2]-Brook rearrangement to generate the nucleophilic siloxycarbenes which on further addition to N═N of azodicarboxylates produced the acyl hydrazides. Control experiments indicate that the reaction proceeds through the singlet carbene intermediate. Transformation of the acyl hydrazide functionality to other functional groups was demonstrated, including the synthesis of the drug candidate Moclobemide.

    Abstract: Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is an apheresis procedure that is conventionally used as a first-line treatment for cutaneous and leukemic subtypes of T-cell lymphoma, such as Sezary's syndrome and mycosis fungoides. Over the past three decades, its ... ...

    Abstract Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is an apheresis procedure that is conventionally used as a first-line treatment for cutaneous and leukemic subtypes of T-cell lymphoma, such as Sezary's syndrome and mycosis fungoides. Over the past three decades, its immunotherapeutic properties have been tested on a variety of autoimmune conditions, including many dermatologic diseases. There is ample evidence of ECP's ability to modify leukocytes and alter cytokine production for certain dermatologic diseases that have been refractory to first-line treatments, such as atopic dermatitis. However, the evidence on the efficacy of ECP for the treatment of these dermatologic diseases is unclear and/or lacks sufficient evidence. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on the utilization and clinical efficacy of ECP in the treatment of several [autoimmune] dermatologic diseases and discuss its applications, guidelines, recommendations, and future implementation for dermatologic diseases.

    Abstract COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on supply chains. This is particularly true for distribution centres as they struggle to bounce back amid the COVID-19 outbreak. While much literature has recently emerged on supply chain disruption, studies pertaining to the impacts of COVID-19 on distribution centres and the countermeasures taken to mitigate such impacts are elusive and mute. Our study fills this important gap in the supply chain literature. This study employs a multiple-case methodology and conducts 40 semi-structured interviews with senior managers/executives from eight distribution centres in the United Arab Emirates. Our results exhibit that COVID-19 is adversely affecting the distribution centres in at least six distinct ways. For instance, distribution centres are encountering limited staff availability, inventory shortage, destabilized supply chains, excessive inventory, limited capacity and surge in demand. Results also demonstrate six corresponding strategies employed by distribution centres to mitigate the impact. For example, distribution centres enhance warehouse automation, increase hands-on inventory, reshoring manufacturing, use scalable processes and an automation retrieval system, and finally employ a picking strategy. Distribution centres can use the findings provided in this study. Particularly, they can learn how COVID-19 affects them and what corresponding strategies they should adopt to stay strong during this pandemic. This study demystifies its contribution to theory and practice alongside limitations and future research directions.

    Abstract Background: The clinical features and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vary between patients and countries. Patients with certain conditions are predisposed to poor outcomes compared with those without medical conditions, such as diabetes, dementia, and hypertension (HTN).
    Methods: The aim of this retrospective study was to assess factors associated with higher mortality in patients with COVID-19 infections and to identify the reason for hospital admission in these patients. The study was performed on patients admitted between 1 and 31 March 2020. Data collection was done retrospectively from electronic medical records.
    Results: There were 269 patient admissions during this period, of which 147 were included in this audit. The mean age of COVID-19-positive patients was 62.8 years and 65.9 years for COVID-19-negative patients during this period. Forty-seven patients requiring hospital admission were COVID-19 positive and 93 were COVID-19 negative. There were no COVID-19 swabs in the seven patients included in the audit. Approximately 50% of the COVID-19-positive patients presented with fever and shortness of breath (sob), followed by dyspnea and cough (seven patients). The most common comorbidity was HTN, followed by type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and ischemic heart disease (IHD). The survival rate was 72.3% in COVID-19-positive patients and 80% in COVID-19-negative patients. The average length of stay was 14.4 days for COVID-19-positive survivors compared to 7.8 days for COVID-19-negative survivors. Most patients who tested positive for COVID-19 infection received oseltamivir vaccination and antibiotics. The presence of HTN, diabetes mellitus (DM), age, and organ failure was associated with a high mortality risk.
    Conclusion: Our study supports the findings of previous studies that diabetes, HTN, coronary artery disease, old age, and organ failure were associated with high mortality in patients admitted to hospitals with COVID-19 infections.

    Abstract Medicinal plants are becoming popular choice for treatment of chronic disease conditions. Cassia absus plant parts have been traditionally used to treat inflammatory conditions. This study was designed for evaluating anti-arthritic, anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory potential of Cassia absus seeds. n- hexane, methanol, chloroform and aqueous extracts were prepared to be appraised for identification and quantitative determination of various phytochemicals. All the extracts were evaluated for anti-arthritic activity via protein denaturation, anti-nociceptive activity by hot plate method and anti-inflammatory potential through Carrageenan induced paw edema. Three doses; 100, 200 and 300mg/kg of each extract were given to Wistar rats. The results of the quantitative analysis revealed that Aqueous and n-hexane extracts contained the highest total flavonoid (104.2±0.24mg QE/g) and phenolic contents (187.4±0.65mg GA/g) respectively. All the extracts exhibited decrease in protein denaturation (n-hexane 66.66%, methanol 59.42%, chloroform 65.21% and aqueous extract 89.85%). Significant increase in mean latency time (secs) was observed in n-hexane, methanol and aqueous extract treated rats as compared to normal rats. All four extracts caused significant reduction in paw inflammation as compared to carrageenan control. It is therefore concluded that all the extracts of Cassia absus possessed significant anti-arthritic, anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory potential.
