In the title compound, C(12)H(14)O(4), the two acet-oxy groups are inclined by 57.92 (5)° and 62.71 (6)° to the benzene ring. An inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action involving the two acet-oxy groups generates a centrosymmetric dimer via an R(2) (2)(16) ring motif.

A suitable method was developed to efficiently incorporate 13C-labeled acetate into zearalenone by using solid cultures. Periodic feeding of the label during the zearalenone production phase significantly increased the label incorporation for the singly labeled acetate.

Sexually inappropriate behaviour in a patient with dementia can be a problem for caregivers. Little research has been done concerning treatment for this behavioural disorder. The hormone medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is a known, but infrequently used, treatment option. We describe a series of 5 cases in which MPA was used successfully to control inappropriate sexual behaviours in men with d...

OBJECTIVES Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) use is characterized by important geographical and temporal variations. Knowledge of these variations is necessary to interpret the results of epidemiological studies on MHT use and disease risk, and can contribute to the understanding of national changes in disease incidence. METHODS We used data from a cohort study of women with information on lif...

Previous studies have shown that some patients with chronic obstructive lung disease and hypercapnia will respond to medroxyprogesterone with improvement in arterial blood gases. The exact mechanism of this effect is unclear but it is presumed to be a result of ventilatory stimulation. To determine whether the ability to correct arterial blood gas abnormalities by voluntary hyperventilation wou...
