Synthesis of Unnatural 2- and 3-Deoxyfuranose Analogues.

Abstract: This Letter describes the synthesis of two racemic analogues of unnatural 3′-deoxy and 2′-deoxy sugars, where a phosphorus atom replaces the carbon atom in the 2′- or 3′-position. Two methods of four- and 5-steps were developed affording these new unnatural sugar analogues.

La volumineuse éventration médiane en zone tropicale : étiologies et résultats du traitement par la technique de Judd

Abstract: Large ventral hernia is a most common pathology in surgical practice in tropical countries. We reported 67 cases of large ventral hernia with mean diameter about 11.7 cm. There were 41 women and 26 men. It was incisional hernia in 49 cases; recurrent ventral hernia in ten cases (after first repair six cases and after the second repair in four cases). Ventral hernia occured in 18 women after many pregnancies (mean of five pregnancies in ten years): this etiology of ventral hernia is the particularity of our practice; rarely in developed countries where number of pregnancies by women varied from two and where the women had means to abdominal wall reeducation. Another factor was excessive weigh: in our country, woman must take some many kilogrammes after pregnancy by traditional practice. Without means in our hospital, preoperative exams were limited to detect and treated cardiorespiratory diseases. All patients had an repair of their ventral hernia by autoplasty like described by Judd completed by another layer with the same ligature. Postoperative time was marked by wound sepsis (11 cases), dyspnea (ten cases), intestinal pseudo-obstruction (eight cases) and three patients were died (failure of respiratory system in two cases and cardiac failure in one case). After 18 months there were seven recurrent ventral hernia, all in incisional hernia. Judd's autoplastic technic is an efficacy technic in primitive ventral hernia or for the first repair of incisional ventral hernia. Preoperative management must concern all respiratory problems and their treatment.
