Abstract
Catalysis with engineered enzymes has provided more efficient routes for the production of active pharmaceutical agents. However, the potential of biocatalysis to assist in early-stage drug discovery campaigns remains largely untapped. In this study, we have developed a biocatalytic strategy for the construction of sp3-rich polycyclic compounds via the intramolecular cyclopropanation of benzothiophenes and related heterocycles. Two carbene transferases with complementary regioisomer selectivity were evolved to catalyse the stereoselective cyclization of benzothiophene substrates bearing diazo ester groups at the C2 or C3 position of the heterocycle. The detailed mechanisms of these reactions were elucidated by a combination of crystallographic and computational analyses. Leveraging these insights, the substrate scope of one of the biocatalysts could be expanded to include previously unreactive substrates, highlighting the value of integrating evolutionary and rational strategies to develop enzymes for new-to-nature transformations. The molecular scaffolds accessed here feature a combination of three-dimensional and stereochemical complexity with 'rule-of-three' properties, which should make them highly valuable for fragment-based drug discovery campaigns.

Abstract
Lactam rings are found in many biologically active natural products and pharmaceuticals, including important classes of antibiotics. Methods for the asymmetric synthesis of these molecules are therefore highly desirable, particularly through the selective functionalization of unreactive aliphatic C-H bonds. Here we show the development of a strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of β-, γ-, and δ-lactams via hemoprotein-catalysed intramolecular C-H amidation reaction with readily available dioxazolone reagents. Engineered myoglobin variants serve as excellent biocatalysts for this transformation yielding the desired lactam products in high yields, high enantioselectivity, and on preparative scale. Mechanistic and computational studies elucidate the nature of the C-H amination and enantiodetermining steps and provide insights into protein-mediated control of regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. Additionally, an alkaloid natural product and a drug molecule were synthesized chemoenzymatically in much fewer steps (7-8 vs. 11-12) than previously reported, further demonstrating the power of biosynthetic strategy for the preparation of complex bioactive molecules.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed on the solvolyses of exo- and endo-norbornyl brosylate and for the "nonclassical" σ-bridged norbornyl cation in an acetic acid solution. This computational modeling of the original Winstein-Trifan experiment confirms that exo-solvolysis is accompanied by σ-bridging in the transition state, while endo-solvolysis is not; σ-bridging eventually occurs in a dynamically stepwise fashion. Simulations of the norbornyl cation in solution show typical vibrations due to zero-point and thermal vibrations but no tendency to sample localized "classical cation" geometries.

Abstract
Quantum mechanical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations have elucidated the reaction mechanism for intramolecular cycloadditions of a heptafulvenyl-fulvene tethered by a trimethylene chain. Prior experiments by Liu and Houk reported the formation of only an endo-[8+6] cycloadduct at 185 °C. Liu et al. later reported an exo-[4+2] Diels-Alder cycloadduct as the major product at 140 °C (Tetrahedron, 1999, 55, 9171). Cycloadditions involve Diels-Alder and an ambimodal intramolecular tripericyclic [8+6]/[6+4]/[4+2] cycloaddition. The mechanistic details explain the experimental reports of temperature dependence on the periselectivity of intramolecular cycloadditions. Additional calculations with multireference-based methods CASSCF and NEVPT2 highlight the artifacts of DFT methods and single-reference wavefunction-based CCSD(T) in the description of complete potential energy surface involving various cycloadditions of the heptafulvenyl-fulvene.

Abstract
This Perspective reviews connectivity-based hierarchy (CBH), a systematic hierarchy of error-cancellation schemes developed in our group with the goal of achieving chemical accuracy using inexpensive computational techniques ("coupled cluster accuracy with DFT"). The hierarchy is a generalization of Pople's isodesmic bond separation scheme that is based only on the structure and connectivity and is applicable to any organic and biomolecule consisting of covalent bonds. It is formulated as a series of rungs involving increasing levels of error cancellation on progressively larger fragments of the parent molecule. The method and our implementation are discussed briefly. Examples are given for the applications of CBH involving (1) energies of complex organic rearrangement reactions, (2) bond energies of biofuel molecules, (3) redox potentials in solution, (4) pKa predictions in the aqueous medium, and (5) theoretical thermochemistry combining CBH with machine learning. They clearly show that near-chemical accuracy (1-2 kcal/mol) is achieved for a variety of applications with DFT methods irrespective of the underlying density functional used. They demonstrate conclusively that seemingly disparate results, often seen with different density functionals in many chemical applications, are due to an accumulation of systematic errors in the smaller local molecular fragments that can be easily corrected with higher-level calculations on those small units. This enables the method to achieve the accuracy of the high level of theory (e.g., coupled cluster) while the cost remains that of DFT. The advantages and limitations of the method are discussed along with areas of ongoing developments.

Abstract
Coastal upland forests are facing widespread mortality as sea-level rise accelerates and precipitation and storm regimes change. The loss of coastal forests has significant implications for the coastal carbon cycle; yet, predicting mortality likelihood is difficult due to our limited understanding of disturbance impacts on coastal forests. The manipulative, ecosystem-scale Terrestrial Ecosystem Manipulation to Probe the Effects of Storm Treatments (TEMPEST) experiment addresses the potential for freshwater and estuarine-water disturbance events to alter tree function, species composition, and ecosystem processes in a deciduous coastal forest in MD, USA. The experiment uses a large-unit (2000 m2), un-replicated experimental design, with three 50 m × 40 m plots serving as control, freshwater, and estuarine-water treatments. Transient saturation (5 h) of the entire soil rooting zone (0-30 cm) across a 2000 m2 coastal forest was attained by delivering 300 m3 of water through a spatially distributed irrigation network at a rate just above the soil infiltration rate. Our water delivery approach also elevated the water table (typically ~ 2 m belowground) and achieved extensive, low-level inundation (~ 8 cm standing water). A TEMPEST simulation approximated a 15-cm rainfall event and based on historic records, was of comparable intensity to a 10-year storm for the area. This characterization was supported by showing that Hurricane Ida's (~ 5 cm rainfall) hydrologic impacts were shorter (40% lower duration) and less expansive (80% less coverage) than those generated through experimental manipulation. Future work will apply TEMPEST treatments to evaluate coastal forest resilience to changing hydrologic disturbance regimes and identify conditions that initiate ecosystem state transitions.

Given their widespread presence in bioactive molecules, methods for the asymmetric synthesis of these molecules, in particular through the selective functionalization of ubiquitous yet unreactive aliphatic C-H bonds, are highly desirable. In this study, we report the development of a novel strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of 4-, 5-, and 6-membered lactams via an unprecedented hemoprotein-catalyzed intramolecular C-H amidation reaction with readily available dioxazolone reagents.

Abstract
While the 1,5-sigmatropic hydrogen shift in cyclopentadiene is generally thought to be a unimolecular pericyclic reaction, Yamabe proposed a more complex bimolecular mechanism proceeding through the exo dimer of cyclopentadiene. DFT computations by Yamabe were claimed to show that the bimolecular mechanism was kinetically more favorable than the unimolecular mechanism. Reinvestigation of the unimolecular concerted mechanism and Yamabe's bimolecular mechanism with ωB97X-D and DLPNO-CCSD(T) calculations demonstrates a 25 kcal/mol preference for the unimolecular mechanism relative to the bimolecular mechanism. While Yamabe's calculations were performed with the less accurate B3LYP functional, the incorrect conclusion was the result of a different error discovered here. We have also computed corrections for tunneling that result in computed activation barriers within 1.5 kcal/mol of the experimental values.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with worsened clinical outcomes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. The reasons for this adverse prognostic association are incompletely understood. Although distinct entities both HCM and DM share common features of impaired myocardial energetics and coronary microvascular function.
Purpose
We sought to test the hypothesis that co-existent diabetes is associated with greater reductions in myocardial energetics and perfusion, and higher scar burden in HCM.
Research design and methods
Seventy-five age- and sex-matched participants with concomitant HCM and DM (HCM-DM, n=20), isolated HCM (n=20), isolated DM (n=20) and healthy volunteers (HV, n=15) underwent 31phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. The HCM groups were matched for HCM phenotype. The DM groups were matched for diabetes treatment, duration, HbA1c, body mass index and hypertension comorbidity.
Results
ESC sudden cardiac death risk scores were comparable between the HCM groups (HCM: 2.2±1.5%, HCM-DM: 1.9±1.2%; p=NS) and sarcomeric mutations were equally common. HCM-DM had the highest NT-proBNP levels (HV: 42 ng/L [IQR: 35–66], DM: 118 ng/L [IQR: 53–187], HCM: 298 ng/L [IQR: 157–837], HCM-DM: 726 ng/L [IQR: 213–8695]; p<0.0001). Left-ventricular ejection fraction, mass and wall thickness were similar between the HCM groups. HCM-DM displayed a greater degree of fibrosis burden with higher scar percentage, and lower global longitudinal strain compared to the isolated HCM. PCr/ATP was similarly decreased in the HCM-DM and DM (HV: 2.17±0.49, DM: 1.61±0.23, HCM: 1.93±0.38, HCM-DM: 1.54±0.27; p=0.0003). HCM-DM had the lowest stress myocardial blood flow (HV: 2.06±0.42 ml/min/g, DM: 1.78±0.45 ml/min/g, HCM: 1.74±0.44 ml/min/g, HCM-DM: 1.39±0.42 ml/min/g; p=0.004).
Conclusions
We show for the first time that HCM patients with DM comorbidity display greater reductions in myocardial energetics, perfusion, contractile function and higher myocardial scar burden and serum NT-proBNP levels compared to patients with isolated HCM despite similar LV mass and wall thickness and presence of sarcomeric mutations. These adverse phenotypic features may be important components of the adverse clinical manifestation attributable to a combined presence of HCM and DM.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Variants in the RBM20 gene cause dilated cardiomyopathy and may be associated with a poor prognosis.
Objectives
To determine disease penetrance, the risk of adverse events and the influence of sex on outcomes in RBM20 variant carriers.
Methods
Consecutive probands and relatives carrying pathogenic or likely pathogenic RBM20 variants were retrospectively recruited from 12 cardiomyopathy units. The primary endpoint was a composite of malignant ventricular arrhythmia (MVA) and end-stage heart failure (ESHF). MVA and ESHF endpoints were also analysed separately and males and females compared.
Results
Longitudinal follow-up data were available for 163 RBM20 variant carriers (82 male, median age 36.5 years, median follow-up 77.6 months). 10/163 had an MVA event at baseline. 30/153 without baseline MVA (19.6%) reached the primary endpoint with a trend towards worse outcomes in males (p=0.08). 16/153 (10.5%) had new MVA with no difference between males and females (p=0.92). 20/163 (12.2%) developed ESHF (17 males and 3 females; p<0.001).
By the end of follow-up, 114 patients (70%) had either left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) or had experienced MVA. 22 patients received a first diagnosis of LVSD during follow-up. Disease penetrance in individuals over 40 years of age was 78.5% by last evaluation.
Eleven patients that reached the MVA endpoint had a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) available within 6 months of the event. Median [IQR] contemporary LVEF was 30% [23.75, 40%]. 5/11 patients had a contemporary LVEF >35%. 1/11 had a contemporary LVEF >45% (a female, 1st degree relative presenting with sustained ventricular tachycardia and an LVEF of 65%).
Conclusions
RBM20 variants are highly penetrant. The risk of MVA in male and female RBM20 variant carriers is similar but male sex is strongly associated with ESHF. MVA events occur in patients with LVEF >35%.

Abstract
This Account describes our quest to understand and predict organic reactivity, a principal goal of physical and theoretical organic chemistry. The focus is on the development and testing of models for the prediction of cycloaddition reactivities and selectivities. We describe the involvement of the Houk group, and other groups, in the evolution of theoretical models that can achieve ever greater accuracy as well as provide practical heuristic models for understanding and prediction.Is the venerable frontier molecular orbital (FMO) model, the basis of Kenichi Fukui's 1981 Nobel Prize, still useful, or must it be replaced with more advanced models? In particular, models such as Conceptual Density Functional, the Pauli Exclusion Model, and the recent popularity of Electrostatic Potential Plots and Dispersion Energies have not only added to our understanding, but they have also created uncertainty about whether the simple FMO heuristic model has a place in 21st century discussions. This Account addresses this issue and asserts the value of the FMO model.Beginning with brief descriptions of selected models for cycloaddition reactivity starting with early donor-acceptor (nucleophile-electrophile) charge-transfer concepts, this Account reviews Fukui's frontier molecular orbital model, Salem and Klopman's orbital, electrostatic and Pauli repulsion model, the conceptual DFT model by Parr and later by Domingo and others, the recent Houk and Bickelhaupt Distortion/Interaction Activation Strain model, and the Bickelhaupt-Hamlin's Pauli-repulsion lowering model.Computations and analyses of four well-studied Diels-Alder cycloadditions, both normal and inverse electron-demand types, are presented. Most were studied earlier in our published work but are presented here with new insights from calculations with modern methods. Depending on the types of substrates (cycloaddends), the dominant factors controlling reactivity can be orbital interactions, electrostatics and polarization, or Pauli repulsion and dispersion effects, or a combination of all of these.By comparing orbital interactions, especially the frontier molecular orbital interactions, with the other factors that influence reactivity, we show why the FMO model is such a powerful─and theoretically meaningful─heuristic for understanding and predicting reactivity. We also present a method to understand Pauli repulsion effects on activation barriers, ρ(1.1). The use of a new reaction coordinate, the extent of Pauli repulsion along the reaction path, is advocated to emphasize the role of repulsive occupied orbital interactions on reactivity.Fukui's frontier molecular orbital model is effective because FMO interactions parallel all the quantities that influence reactivity. The FMO model continues to provide a practical model to understand and guide experiments.

Abstract
Propargyl amines are versatile synthetic intermediates with numerous applications in the pharmaceutical industry. An attractive strategy for efficient preparation of these compounds is nitrene propargylic C(sp3)-H insertion. However, achieving this reaction with good chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective control has proven to be challenging. Here, we report an enzymatic platform for the enantioselective propargylic amination of alkynes using a hydroxylamine derivative as the nitrene precursor. Cytochrome P450 variant PA-G8 catalyzing this transformation was identified after eight rounds of directed evolution. A variety of 1-aryl-2-alkyl alkynes are accepted by PA-G8, including those bearing heteroaromatic rings. This biocatalytic process is efficient and selective (up to 2610 total turnover number (TTN) and 96% ee) and can be performed on preparative scale.

Abstract
The cycloadditions of cyclopentadiene and cycloheptatriene with tropone are some of the earliest published examples of [6+4] cycloaddition reactions. We report quantum mechanical studies (ωB97X-D and DLPNO-CCSD(T)) of transition structures and products of these reactions, as well as quasi-classical molecular dynamics simulations of reaction trajectories. The study reveals that these cycloadditions involve ambimodal transition states resulting in a web of products by pericyclic interconversion pathways. Combined with these studies, calculations of simple parent systems and a thorough meta-analysis of literature examples reveal the general concept that all endo-[6+4] cycloadditions are ambimodal.

Type of funding sources: None.
Background
Long-term right ventricular (RV) pacing leads to heart failure or a decline in left ventricular (LV) function in up to a fifth of patients.
Objectives
We aimed to establish whether patients with focal fibrosis detected on late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) have deterioration in LV function after RV pacing.
Methods
We recruited 110 patients (84 in final analysis) into two observational CMR studies. Patients (n = 34) with a dual chamber device and preserved atrioventricular (AV) conduction underwent CMR in two asynchronous pacing modes (AOO & DOO) to compare intrinsic conduction with RV pacing. Patients (n = 50) with high-grade AV block underwent CMR before and 6 months after pacemaker implantation to investigate the long-term effects of RV pacing.
Results: The three key findings were
1) Initiation of RV pacing in patients with fibrosis, compared to those without, was associated with greater immediate changes in both LV end-systolic volume index (LVESVi) (5.3 ± 3.5 vs 2.1 ± 2.4 mL/m2; p < 0.01) and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) (-5.7 ± 3.4% vs -3.2 ± 2.6%; p = 0.02); 2) Long-term RV pacing in patients with fibrosis, compared to those without, was associated with greater changes in LVESVi (8.0 ± 10.4 vs -0.6 ± 7.3 mL/m2; p = 0.008) and LVEF (-12.3 ± 7.9 vs -6.7 ± 6.2%; p = 0.012); 3) Patients with fibrosis did not experience an improvement in quality of life, biomarkers or functional class after pacemaker implantation.
Conclusions
Fibrosis detected on CMR is associated with immediate and long-term deterioration in LV function following RV pacing and could be used to identify those at risk of heart failure prior to pacemaker implantation.

Abstract
Monovalent ions play significant roles in various biological and material systems. Recently, four new water models (OPC3, OPC, TIP3P-FB, and TIP4P-FB), with significantly improved descriptions of condensed phase water, have been developed. The pairwise interaction between the metal ion and water necessitates the development of ion parameters specifically for these water models. Herein, we parameterized the 12-6 and the 12-6-4 nonbonded models for 12 monovalent ions with the respective four new water models. These monovalent ions contain eight cations including alkali metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+), transition-metal ions (Cu+ and Ag+), and Tl+ from the boron family, along with four halide anions (F-, Cl-, Br-, I-). Our parameters were designed to reproduce the target hydration free energies (the 12-6 hydration free energy (HFE) set), the ion-oxygen distances (the 12-6 ion-oxygen distance (IOD) set), or both of them (the 12-6-4 set). The 12-6-4 parameter set provides highly accurate structural features overcoming the limitations of the routinely used 12-6 nonbonded model for ions. Specifically, we note that the 12-6-4 parameter set is able to reproduce experimental hydration free energies within 1 kcal/mol and experimental ion-oxygen distances within 0.01 Å simultaneously. We further reproduced the experimentally determined activity derivatives for salt solutions, validating the ion parameters for simulations of ion pairs. The improved performance of the present water models over our previous parameter sets for the TIP3P, TIP4P, and SPC/E water models (Li, P. et al J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2015 11 1645 1657) highlights the importance of the choice of water model in conjunction with the metal ion parameter set.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep breathing disorder with significant public health consequences. Despite this, no clinically available objective molecular biomarkers to diagnose, risk stratify and quantify treatment efficiency exist. To this end, high-throughput metabolomics data could serve as a valuable quantitative tool.
Methods
We designed a pilot study to investigate the metabolomic effects of OSA and CPAP treatment. Blood serum samples were collected from OSA patients and healthy controls matched with respect to age (±5 years), BMI (±2.5 kg/m2) and gender (N = 20/group). Samples from OSA patients were obtained before and after continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. Polar metabolites were analyzed using a targeted ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) metabolomics technique.
Results
Supervised multivariate analysis using serum metabolic values of OSA patients and healthy controls showed a significantly different overall metabolic profile between the two groups (orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis [OPLS-DA] Q2=0.25, p=0.04). Acetylornithine, choline, cytidine, dodecenoylcarnitine, methionine sulfoxide and 3-indoxylsulfate were among the most perturbed metabolites. Major metabolic pathways altered in the OSA patients were methionine and phospholipid metabolism, as well as gut microbial co-metabolism. Lysophosphatidylcholine (16:0), a phospholipid metabolite, demonstrated significant linear association with improved oxygen saturation nadir post CPAP treatment (R2 = 0.57), suggesting the metabolic features may be used as prognostic clinical biomarkers.
Conclusion
These results suggest that OSA significantly impacts blood metabolites, which could potentially be used to establish OSA biomarkers. Moreover, specific metabolic features are associated with post CPAP improvement, such as phospholipids, suggesting a functional association of these metabolites that may help us understand the heterogeneity of OSA. Overall, these results demonstrate the potential of metabolic profiling to develop quantitative molecular markers of OSA. Further studies are underway to validate these findings and investigate the utility of metabolic profiles to objectively measure CPAP efficacy.

Abstract
Introduction
Insufficient sleep is a hallmark of modern society, and sleep deprivation (SD) is a risk factor for neurodegenerative and cardiometabolic disorders. The interactions of aging with systemic and local metabolic alterations induced by sleep deprivation are essentially unexplored. In this study, we demonstrate a shared metabolic imprint of SD and aging in plasma, liver, and hippocampus.
Methods
Young (2 - 4 months) and aged (22 - 24 months) mice were sleep deprived (N = 10/group) for 5 hours followed by collection of blood plasma, liver and hippocampus. The samples were extracted and subjected to UPLC-MS/MS based targeted metabolomics analysis.
Results
Young animals displayed greater sensitivity to SD induced metabolic changes with >40% more metabolites perturbed in each sample type measured compared to aged animals. Enrichment analysis based on known disease-associated metabolites suggests that plasma change in young animals are of pathological relevance, but not in aged animals. A common hepatic signature of sleep-loss across the two age groups consisted of ketosis and urea cycle perturbation. Approximately 20-30% of measured metabolites exhibit similar changes when the sleep deprivation induced signature is compared with the aging metabolic imprint in a tissue-dependent manner. Central energetics, urea cycle and aromatic amino acid metabolism highlight the common pathways altered by sleep and aging in the periphery. In the hippocampus, choline and acetylcholine pools were depleted, potentially providing insight into the changes in metabolism that accompany analogous defects in memory consolidation.
Conclusion
These results support the notion that SD makes the ‘young seem old’. The results further connect neurobehavioral observations tying together aging and sleep loss, by implicating molecular mechanisms at the level of metabolism.

Abstract
Modeling the thermodynamics of a transition metal (TM) ion assembly be it in proteins or in coordination complexes affords us a better understanding of the assembly and function of metalloclusters in diverse application areas including metal organic framework design, TM-based catalyst design, the trafficking of TM ions in biological systems, and drug design in metalloprotein platforms. While the structural details of TM ions bound to metalloproteins are generally well understood via experimental and computational approaches, accurate studies describing the thermodynamics of TM ion binding are rare. Herein, we demonstrate that we can obtain accurate structural and absolute binding free energies of Co2+ and Ni2+ to the enzyme glyoxalase I using an optimized 12-6-4 (m12-6-4) potential. Critically, this model simultaneously reproduces the solvation free energy of the individual TM ions and reproduces the thermodynamics of TM ion-ligand coordination as well as the thermodynamics of TM ion binding to a protein active site unlike extant models. We find the incorporation of the thermodynamics associated with protonation state changes for the TM ion (un)binding to be crucial. The high accuracy of m12-6-4 potential in this study presents an accurate route to explore more complicated processes associated with TM cluster assembly and TM ion transport.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Graph theory uses structural similarity to analyze cortical structural connectivity. We used a voxel-based definition of cortical covariance networks to quantify and assess the relationship of network characteristics to cognition in a cohort of patients with relapsing-remitting MS with and without cognitive impairment. MATERIALS AND METHODS We compared subject-specific structural gray matter network properties of 18 healthy controls, 25 patients with MS with cognitive impairment, and 55 patients with MS without cognitive impairment. Network parameters were compared, and predictive value for cognition was assessed, adjusting for confounders (sex, education, gray matter volume, network size and degree, and T1 and T2 lesion load). Backward stepwise multivariable regression quantified predictive factors for 5 neurocognitive domain test scores. RESULTS Greater path length (r = -0.28, P < .0057) and lower normalized path length (r = 0.36, P < .0004) demonstrated a correlation with average cognition when comparing healthy controls with patients with MS. Similarly, MS with cognitive impairment demonstrated a correlation between lower normalized path length (r = 0.40, P < .001) and reduced average cognition. Increased normalized path length was associated with better performance for processing (P < .001), learning (P < .001), and executive domain function (P = .0235), while reduced path length was associated with better executive (P = .0031) and visual domains. Normalized path length improved prediction for processing (R 2 = 43.6%, G2 = 20.9; P < .0001) and learning (R 2 = 40.4%, G2 = 26.1; P < .0001) over a null model comprising confounders. Similarly, higher normalized path length improved prediction of average z scores (G2 = 21.3; P < .0001) and, combined with WM volume, explained 52% of average cognition variance. CONCLUSIONS Patients with MS and cognitive impairment demonstrate more random network features and reduced global efficiency, impacting multiple cognitive domains. A model of normalized path length with normal-appearing white matter volume improved average cognitive z score prediction, explaining 52% of variance.

Abstract
Purpose To determine in which clinical situations it is indicated or contra-indicated to prescribe cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for paediatric patients. Methods Systematic review of in vivo paediatric research studies of diagnostic efficacy using CBCT, with supplementary searches for guideline documents on CBCT and for systematic reviews permitting inclusion of ex vivo and adult studies. Results After screening, 190 publications were included, mostly case studies. No systematic reviews were found of in vivo paediatric research. Fourteen studies of diagnostic efficacy were identified. The supplementary searches found 18 guideline documents relevant to the review and 26 systematic reviews. The diagnostic efficacy evidence on CBCT was diverse and often of limited quality. There was ex vivo evidence for diagnostic accuracy being greater using CBCT than radiographs for root fractures. The multiplanar capabilities of CBCT are advantageous when localising dental structures for surgical planning. Patient movement during scanning is more common in children which could reduce diagnostic efficacy. Conclusions No strong recommendations on CBCT are possible, except that it should not be used as a primary diagnostic tool for caries. Guidelines on use of CBCT in the paediatric age group should be developed cautiously, taking into account the greater radiation risk and the higher economic costs compared with radiography. CBCT should only be used when adequate conventional radiographic examination has not answered the question for which imaging was required. Clinical research in paediatric patients is required at the higher levels of diagnostic efficacy of CBCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Vedolizumab is an anti-a4b7 monoclonal antibody that is licensed for the treatment of moderate to severe Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The aims of this study were to establish the real-world effectiveness and safety of vedolizumab for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. METHODS This was a retrospective study involving seven NHS health boards in Scotland between June 2015 and November 2017. Inclusion criteria included: a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease with objective evidence of active inflammation at baseline (Harvey-Bradshaw Index[HBI] ≥5/Partial Mayo ≥2 plus C-reactive protein [CRP] >5 mg/L or faecal calprotectin ≥250 µg/g or inflammation on endoscopy/magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]); completion of induction; and at least one clinical follow-up by 12 months. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to establish 12-month cumulative rates of clinical remission, mucosal healing, and deep remission [clinical remission plus mucosal healing]. Rates of serious adverse events were described quantitatively. RESULTS Our cohort consisted of 180 patients with ulcerative colitis and 260 with Crohn's disease. Combined median follow-up was 52 weeks (interquartile range [IQR] 26-52 weeks). In ulcerative colitis, 12-month cumulative rates of clinical remission, mucosal healing, and deep remission were 57.4%, 47.3%, and 38.5%, respectively. In Crohn's disease, 12-month cumulative rates of clinical remission, mucosal healing, and deep remission were 58.4%, 38.9%, and 28.3% respectively. The serious adverse event rate was 15.6 per 100 patient-years of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Vedolizumab is a safe and effective treatment for achieving both clinical remission and mucosal healing in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Abstract
Electrical impedance tomography is a recently established technique by which impedance of an object (medical or nonmedical applications) is measured data from the surface of the object, and a numerically simulated reconstruction of the object internal shape of the image can be obtained. This imaging technique based on boundary or surface voltage is measured when the different current pattern is injected into it. For current pulse, we are creating a voltage controlled current source, which is based on the different RC circuits, according to current amplitude and frequency values. The current source used in inject the current pulse of the various phantoms. The current position and measuring voltage is controlled by the created control unit or programmable system on chip (PSOC) of the proposed EIT system. After that image reconstruction of the cross-sectional image of resistivity requires sufficient data collection from used phantoms, which is based on finite element method (FEM) method and Tikhonov regularization method with helps of graphical user interface (GUI) on MatLab. The objective of the GUI was to produce an image (2D/3D), impedance distribution graph, and the FEM mesh model according to used electrode combinations from the various phantoms. EIT system has a great potential for imaging modality, is non-invasive, radiation-free, and inexpensive for medical applications.

Abstract
Despite the rich history of experimental studies focusing on the thermochemistry and kinetics associated with the chelate effect, molecular-level computational studies on the chelate ring opening/ring closure are scarce. The challenge lies in an accurate description of both the metal ion and its aqueous environment. Herein, we demonstrate that an optimized 12-6-4 Lennard-Jones (LJ) model can capture the thermodynamics and provide detailed structural and mechanistic insights into the formation of ethylenediamine (en) complexes with metal ions. The water molecules in the first solvation shell of the metal ion are found to facilitate the chelate ring formation. The optimized parameters further simulate the formation of bis and tris(en) complexes representing the wide applicability of the model to simulate coordination chemistry and self-assembly processes.

Abstract
Connectivity-Based Hierarchy (CBH) is an effective error-cancellation scheme for the determination of chemically accurate thermochemical properties of a variety of organic and biomolecules. Neutral molecules and open-shell radicals have already been treated successfully by this approach utilizing inexpensive computational methods such as density functional theory. Herein, we present an extension of the method to a new class of molecules, specifically, organic cations. Because of the presence of structural rearrangements involving hydrogen migrations as well as unusual structures such as bridged cations, the application of the standard CBH protocol to a test set of 25 cations leads to significant errors due to ineffective bond-type matching. We propose an adjusted protocol to overcome such limitations to achieve highly effective error cancellation. The modified CBH methods, in conjunction with a wide range of density functionals, reproduce G4 energies for the test set of organic cations accurately within 1-2 kcal/mol at a reduced computational cost.

Abstract
Prolonged treatment of tuberculosis (TB) often leads to poor compliance, default and relapse, converting primary TB patients into category II TB (Cat IITB) cases, many of whom may convert to multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB). We have evaluated the immunotherapeutic potential of Mycobacterium indicus pranii (MIP) as an adjunct to Anti-Tubercular Treatment (ATT) in Cat II pulmonary TB (PTB) patients in a prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, multicentric clinical trial. 890 sputum smear positive Cat II PTB patients were randomized to receive either six intra-dermal injections (2 + 4) of heat-killed MIP at a dose of 5 × 108 bacilli or placebo once in 2 weeks for 2 months. Sputum smear and culture examinations were performed at different time points. MIP was safe with no adverse effects. While sputum smear conversion did not show any statistically significant difference, significantly higher number of patients (67.1%) in the MIP group achieved sputum culture conversion at fourth week compared to the placebo (57%) group (p = 0.0002), suggesting a role of MIP in clearance of the bacilli. Since live bacteria are the major contributors for sustained incidence of TB, the potential of MIP in clearance of the bacilli has far reaching implications in controlling the spread of the disease.

Abstract
Contrary to the simple expectations from Coulomb's law, Weinhold proposed that anions can stabilize each other as metastable dimers, yet experimental evidence for these species and their mutual stabilization is missing. We show that two bisulfate anions can form such dimers, which stabilize each other with self-complementary hydrogen bonds, by encapsulation inside a pair of cyanostar macrocycles. The resulting 2:2 complex of the bisulfate homodimer persists across all states of matter, including in solution. The bisulfate dimer's OH⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonding is seen in a 1 H NMR peak at 13.75 ppm, which is consistent with borderline-strong hydrogen bonds.
