Diagnosis of McArdle disease is frequently delayed by many years following the first presentation of symptoms to a health professional. The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of misdiagnosis in delaying diagnosis of McArdle disease. The frequency of misdiagnosis, duration of diagnostic delay, categories of misdiagnoses and inappropriate medical interventions were assessed in 50...

Organic-inorganic hybrid heterojunctions have potential as the basis for future photovoltaic devices. Herein, we report the results of investigations exploring the possibility of using pentacene and tetracene as photoelectron donors in conjunction with PbS nanocrystals (PbS-NCs). Photoinduced charge transfer was probed using external quantum efficiency measurements on acene:PbS-NC hybrid photov...

Enantioenriched secondary allylic carbamates have been deprotonated with sBuLi and reacted with boronic esters. In contrast to other electrophiles, high α-selectivity was observed and the boronate complexes were formed with almost complete retention of stereochemistry. The boronate complexes underwent a stereospecific 1,2-migration leading to tertiary allylic boronic esters with high er (>98:2)...

A new monoclinic polymorph of the title compound, C(8)H(12)N(4), in the space group P2(1)/n (Z = 4) is reported. The previously known form was also monoclinic, P2(1)/c (Z = 4), but the unit-cell parameters and crystal packing were different [Shoja & Saba (1993 ▶). Acta Cryst. C49, 354-355]. The hexa-hydro-pyrimidine ring of the title compound adopts a chair conformation with a diequatorial subs...
