A nurse-led, multidisciplinary health team can manage a population of diabetic patients in an online disease management program. INT patients achieved greater decreases in A1C at 6 months than UC patients, but the differences were not sustained at 12 months. More INT than UC patients achieved improvement in A1C (>0.5% decrease). Trial registered in clinical trials.gov: #NCT00542204.
Reducing the load: A facile palladium‐catalyzed ortho‐selective bromination and chlorination of anilides occurs under aerobic conditions at room temperature when N‐halosuccinimides (NXS) are used in the presence of p‐toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA). The orthopalladated PTSA complex is not only catalytically competent but also undergoes a reductive process to yield an unusual PdI–PdII tetramer (see structure; Pd green, O red, S yellow, C gray).
The carbamate (-O2CNR2) function is an excellent directing group for palladium-catalysed direct arylation reactions giving both protected or free mono- or di-substituted phenols, as well as an example of a dibenzopyranone, depending on coupling partners (aryl iodides or diaryliodonium salts) and conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
