[reaction: see text] Oxidative cleavage of olefins by OsO(4)-NaIO(4) sometimes suffers from low yields due to the formation of side products. It is found that the addition of 2,6-lutidine can suppress the side reactions and dramatically improve the yield of this classic reaction.
EUS-guided interstitial implantation of 125I seeds may represent a safe alternative treatment option for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Our preliminary data suggest improvement in pain, but no long-term survival benefit.
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.
