TL;DR: In this paper, the advantages, disadvantages, and anomalies of various donors in glycosidations are discussed, and it is shown that regiopreferences are not very sensitive to the type of donor used.
Abstract: Some advantages, disadvantages, and anomalies of various donors in glycosidations are discussed. By studying several two‐component donor/acceptor‐diol reactions, it is shown that regiopreferences are not very sensitive to the type of donor used. However, in competitive glycosidations within a given type of donor and between different types of donor, it is shown that regio‐ and chemoselectivities must be indexed to donor reactivity. * Dedicated to the memory of Professor Jacques van Boom.

TL;DR: In this article, the essentiality of selenium for humans, animals, and plants and the role of the element in plant metabolism and physiology is discussed. But, the authors do not discuss the role that the element plays in the development of white muscle disease, a degenerative disease of the cardiac and skeletal muscles.
Abstract: After its discovery, selenium was most noted for its harmful effects. Selenium was the first element identified to occur in native vegetation at levels toxic to animals. Poisoning of animals can occur through consumption of plants containing toxic levels of selenium. Livestock consuming excessive amounts of selenized forages are afflicted with “alkali disease” and “blind staggers”. Typical symptoms of these diseases include loss of hair, deformed hooves, blindness, colic, diarrhoea, lethargy, increased heart and respiration rates, and eventually death. On the other hand, selenium deficiency in animal feeds can cause “white muscle disease”, a degenerative disease of the cardiac and skeletal muscles. In this regard, this review paper attempts to summarize the essentiality of selenium for humans, animals, and plants and the role of selenium in plant metabolism and physiology.
