Alkenylation and allylation of alkyl iodides with alkenyl and allyl sulfones, respectively, took place under Pd/photoirradiation system. The initial alkyl radical, derived from a single electron transfer between Pd(0) and RI, underwent the title transformations. Pd(0) was regenerated through a reductive elimination of PhSOPdI, which is formed by the combination of the sulfonyl radical and the palladium radical. The addition of water was effective, presumably by pushing the equilibrium through hydrolysis of PhSOI.

Adnexal torsion is an uncommon gynecological emergency which mostly occurs during productive ages and in adnexa with mass-increasing pathology or anatomical abnormality. We reported the first known case of torsion of a normal adnexa after a sport-related blunt abdominal trauma in a pre-pubertal girl. Adnexal torsion can happen in a pre-pubertal girl with normal adnexa. Common laboratory examinations provide little help and image studies can be suggestive but often not diagnostic. Early gynecological or surgical consultation is recommended in the context of a high level of clinical suspicion. Early surgical treatment is well codified and should be conservative by laparoscopy as possible.

A 2-year-old boy presented with abdominal pain and non-coffee-ground emesis for 1 day. He was afebrile and without decreased activity. Examination showed lower abdominal tenderness, but psoas and obturator signs were negative. Laboratory test showed mildly elevated C-reactive protein (1.321 mg/dL) without leukocytosis. An abdominal X-ray revealed a high-attenuation-calcified lesion near the right sacroiliac joint which was highly suspected as an appendicolith. Subsequent abdominal computed tomography proved an appendicitis with appendicolith inside. He underwent laparoscopic appendectomy and was discharged uneventfully 4 days later. Acute appendicitis is a commonly misdiagnosed pediatric emergency because of the atypical presentations. Appendicoliths are presented in more than half of pediatric appendicitis and are highly associated with perforation. Surgery is recommended instead of antibiotics therapy alone to manage appendicolith-related appendicitis. A careful interpretation of the plain abdominal films and keeping a high suspicion are vital to early diagnosis of this disease.
