The aetiology of a psychotic disturbance can be due to a functional or organic condition. Organic aetiologies are diverse and encompass organ failures, infections, nutritional deficiencies and space-occupying lesions. Arachnoid cysts are rare, benign space-occupying lesions formed by an arachnoid membrane containing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In most cases they are diagnosed by accident. Until recently, the coexistence of arachnoid cysts with psychiatric disturbances had not been closely covered ...

The use of dental services on a regular basis by residents of Montes Claros (MG) was assessed, as well as related aspects. Cross-sectional study was conducted with a complex probabilistic sample by conglomerates. Logistic regression was used (OR/CI95%) with a significance level of 5. Of the 2582 study participants, 761 required and obtained access to the services for less than a year. Of these, 262 (35.8%) used the services in a regular/routine manner.

Aiming to develop a straightforward magnetic-based sample preparation methodology for the selective extraction of dimethoate from olive oil, the synthesis of dimethoate-imprinted polymer on the surface of modified magnetic nanoparticles has been attempted. Molecular recognition assays have proven their suitability for the selective pre-concentration of dimethoate. Mechanistic basis for template selective recognition has been explored using a quantum chemical approach, providing new insights about ...

Nucleophilic aromatic photosubstitution reactions of nitroaryl ethers (NArE) with sodium hydroxide were studied in aqueous solution containing N-hexadecyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride micelles. The increase of quantum yields depended on the length of the n-alkyl chain (maximum for methyl and minimum for decyl). The dependence on the surfactant concentration was in accordance with the mechanistic model of aromatic nucleophilic photosubstitution.

Novel chiral monodentate oxazoline ligands have been synthesized in good yields. The catalytic activity of these monodentate oxazoline/Cu catalysts was evaluated in the catalytic asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene and α-methylstyrene, giving moderate to good enantioselectivities (up to 74% ee for the trans-cyclopropane product) and full conversions (up to 100%). In an attempt to enhance the enantioselectivities of the cyclopropanations, heterocombinations of these ligands were used. Unfortunately, ...

Abstract The organocatalyst cinchonidine-squaramide was immobilized within three different deep eutectic solvents (DESs): betaine:d-sorbitol:water, betaine: d-xylitol:water, and betaine:d-mannitol:water and evaluated in a well-known asymmetric Michael addition. These reactions provided excellent yields (up to 99%) and enantioselectivities (up to 98%) using only 1 mol% of organocatalyst. It was also possible to achieve 9 cycles in reactions with DES (betaine:d-sorbitol:water), proving the high recyclability ...

A novel family of chiral non-racemic monodentate oxazoline ligands known as Arylid-OXs 1a and 1b was prepared in good overall yields. These ligands were screened in bench-mark Cu(I)-catalyzed cyclopropanations and gave ees as high as 58%. Both 1H NMR and computational studies using 1a indicated that the active catalyst was most likely to be the di-coordinated complex, Cu(I)-1a2(MeCN)2. Two novel ortho-substituted Arylid-BOX ligands 2a and 2b were also synthesized in very good yields. These ligands ...

A series of chiral non-racemic isobutylene bis-oxazoline (Isbut-Box) ligands have been synthesised in satisfactory overall yields. The utility of such ligands for catalytic asymmetric synthesis has been demonstrated using the Cu(I) catalysed enantioselective cyclopropanation of styrene and derivatives with ethyl diazoacetate as a test reaction. The Cu(I) moiety is generated in situ using ethyl diazoacetate prior to the addition of the olefin. In these preliminary studies, the aforementioned cyclopropanation ...

Some very good e.e.s (up to 86%), were obtained. It was possible to isolate 10a′-[Cu(CH3CN)4]PF6 which existed ...

Poisoning is a frequent cause of emergency department visits, with attempted suicide accounting for up to two-thirds of all fatalities from pesticide poisoning. Despite extensive pyrethroid use worldwide, relatively few cases of human poisoning have been reported in the literature.

The trampling of wild animals have received special attention from researchers in recent years because it is the primary cause of death on roads. However, studies that address the topic are still scarce and generally deal only with mammals. Therefore, this study aimed to monitor the mortality of wild animals by trampling between Campina Grande and Patos in the BR-230 highway from November 2010 to November 2011. Were made monthly trips lasting 2 hours traveled by car. We compared the number of trampling ...

The alkaline photohydrolysis of a series of n-alkyl 3-nitrophenyl ethers was investigated in aqueous micellar solutions of the anionic detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Although SDS micelles strongly inhibit the OH- mediated photohydrolysis of the hydrophobic n-decyl ether, they have very little effect on the photohydrolysis of the corresponding n-butyl ether and actually increase the quantum yield for photohydrolysis of the ethyl and methyl ethers. This unexpected behavior is shown to be the ...
