J Org Chem. 2002 Jan 11;67(1):177-81. doi: 10.1021/jo0159340.

The chlorine leaving group isotope effect has been measured for the base-promoted elimination reaction of 1-(2-chloro-2-propyl)indene (1-Cl) in methanol at 30 degrees C: k(35)/k(37) = 1.0086 +/- 0.0007 with methoxide as the base and k(35)/k(37) = 1.0101 +/- 0.0001...

Study protocol: a pilot randomized controlled trial to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of a counseling intervention, delivered by nurses, for those who have attempted self-poisoning in Sri Lanka.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is endemic in Sri Lanka. Giemsa-stained slit-skin-smears (SSS-Giemsa) and histology are routinely used in diagnosis with a sensitivity of 40-70%. PCR currently has limited accessibility. Therefore, we assessed the sensitivity and specificity of a previously described...
