Catalyst-free three-component approach to efficient synthesis of chromeno[4,3-<i>b</i>]pyrrol-4(1<i>H</i>)-one derivatives

<p>A mild, efficient, and environmentally benign one-pot synthesis of functionalized chromeno[4,3-<i>b</i>]pyrrol-4(1<i>H</i>)-ones by a three-component domino reaction of 4-aminocoumarins, arylglyoxal monohydrates, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in refluxing ethanol without the use of catalyst is reported. The present protocol features operational simplicity, short reaction time, good yields, and the absence of aqueous workup procedure and chromatographic separation.</p

Video_1_Lumboperitoneal shunt surgery via continuous two-stage procedure: Technique notes and outcomes.MP4

BackgroundLumboperitoneal shunt (LPS) is an effective procedure for managing communicating hydrocephalus. LPS is performed as a one-stage procedure with the patient placed in the lateral position or as a two-stage procedure in which the patient's position is changed. Both methods can be bothersome to neurosurgeons. We designed a continuous two-stage LPS procedure in which the operative sites did not need to be sterilized again, and the surgical drapes did not have to be changed after changing the patient's position. In this study, we analyzed this procedure in terms of the technical features and outcomes.MethodsAll patients from our institute who underwent LPS using the continuous two-stage procedure from October 2019 to August 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. The patient's demographic information, clinical features, operative data, and outcomes were analyzed.ResultsA total of 46 consecutive patients who underwent LPS using the continuous two-stage procedure were enrolled. The mean operative duration was 70.6 ± 12.7 min. The 180-day revision rate for these patients was 2.2% (1/46). Moreover, 76.1% of the patients (35/46) experienced clinical improvement after LPS during the 180-day follow-up, and 70.0% of the patients (32/46) experienced an improvement in neuroimaging.ConclusionWe described a continuous two-stage LPS procedure. This method simplified the two-stage LPS procedure and maintained a low malfunction rate and shunt infection rate in our series.</p

A comparison of SNR between the two methods under different strains.

<p>This is the SNR calculated from the axial and lateral strain images obtained from the two methods. The ROI 1 in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0181250#pone.0181250.g003" target="_blank">Fig 3</a> was seen as a target and ROI 1 was used to calculate the SNR of both methods in both directions.</p
