SARS-CoV-2 vaccination modelling for safe surgery to save lives: data from an international prospective cohort study
Abstract Background Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could support safer elective surgery. Vaccine numbers are limited so this study aimed to inform their prioritization by modelling. Methods The primary outcome was the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) to prevent one COVID-19-related death in 1 year. NNVs were based on postoperative SARS-CoV-2 rates and mortality in an international cohort study (surgical patients), and community SARS-CoV-2 incidence and case fatality data (general population). NNV estimates were stratified by age (18–49, 50–69, 70 or more years) and type of surgery. Best- and worst-case scenarios were used to describe uncertainty. Results NNVs were more favourable in su…
A contribution to the preparation of phenolic polynuclear compounds with sulfonyl bridges
For the preparation of phenolic di- and tricyclic compounds with sulfonyl bridges the Fries rearrangement is suitable, and for the corresponding products with three and four benzene rings the Friedel-Crafts reaction may be used. The exchange of sulfonyl bridges for methylene bridges produces a marked increase in the melting point.
