Rapid Recurrence And Radiographic Progression Of Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma, M. P. Edelson, W. J. Wu, A. Kurzyna, J. Steckel Jan 2018

Rapid Recurrence And Radiographic Progression Of Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma, M. P. Edelson, W. J. Wu, A. Kurzyna, J. Steckel

Journal Articles

© 2017 Sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma (sRCC) is an aggressive variant of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that has a significantly lower overall survival. Even after prompt surgical extirpation, this histologic variant progresses rapidly. We present a case of an early recurrence and rapid progression of sRCC despite successful radical resection.

© 2018 S. Karger AG, Basel. Objective: To expand the diagnostic armamentarium for medullary sponge kidney (MSK), we evaluate the use of high-resolution multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for MSK diagnosis and compare to the standard intravenous urography (IVU). Despite a significant prevalence amongst stone formers, diagnosis of this well described condition has declined. IVU, the gold standard in MSK diagnosis, has largely been replaced by CT, which has previously been shown unable to demonstrate signs of MSK. Methods and Materials: Patients with known history of MSK based on IVU underwent limited MDCT urogram. Control group patients, without MSK, also had …

Copyright © 2018 American Society of Clinical Oncology. All rights reserved. Black men are more likely to die as a result of prostate cancer than white men, despite effective treatments that improve survival for clinically significant prostate cancer. We undertook this study to identify gaps in prostate cancer care quality, racial disparities in care, and underlying reasons for poorer quality care. Methods We identified all black men and random age-matched white men with Gleason scores $ 7 diagnosed between 2006 and 2013 at two urban hospitals to determine rates of treatment underuse. Underuse was defined as not receiving primary surgery, …

Multiple Roles Of Aryloxide Leaving Groups In Enantioselective Annulations Employing Α,Β-Unsaturated Acyl Ammonium Catalysis, M. D. Greenhalgh, S. Qu, A. M. Slawin, A. D. Smith Jan 2018

Multiple Roles Of Aryloxide Leaving Groups In Enantioselective Annulations Employing Α,Β-Unsaturated Acyl Ammonium Catalysis, M. D. Greenhalgh, S. Qu, A. M. Slawin, A. D. Smith

Journal Articles

© 2018 The Royal Society of Chemistry. An isothiourea-catalysed Michael addition-annulation process using β-fluoroalkyl-substituted α,β-unsaturated aryl esters and a range of 2-acylbenzazoles is reported for the enantioselective synthesis of dihydropyranone and dihydropyridinone products bearing polyfluorinated stereocenters (29 examples, up to 98% yield, >99:1 er). The choice of aryl group of the aryl ester proved essential in determining reaction enantioselectivity and dihydropyranone:dihydropyridinone product selectivity. The aryloxide leaving group is shown to play a number of essential additional roles, operating (i) as a Brønsted base, circumventing the need for an auxiliary base; and (ii) as a Lewis base to catalyse the isomerisation …
