Unlabelled:
Carbon dioxide laser vaporization of condyloma acuminata continues to be the treatment with a greater rate of success and with excellent cosmetic results.
Objective:
To evaluate the clinical outcome of carbon dioxide laser vaporization of condyloma acuminata at a referral center in Mexico.
Materials And Methods:
Carbon dioxide laser vaporization was performed for condyloma acuminata in 46 women and 35 men, measured from 3 to 60 months with colposcopy or peneoscopy every 6 months. It was a clinical prospective study.
Results:
The average length of follow-up in women was 21 months, and the average length of follow-up in men was 16 months. The women's study follow-up showed an initial success rate of 93%, and the recurrence rate after 6 months of treatment was 7%. The follow-up of men showed an initial success rate of 69%, and the recurrence rate after 6 months was 25%. The success rate in women after the second treatment was 100% without recurrence. In men, the second treatment success rate was 88%, and the recurrence rate after 6 months was 33%.
Conclusions:
Carbon dioxide laser vaporization condyloma acuminata provides an excellent rate of success and patient satisfaction.

01:21Acid-Catalyzed α-Halogenation of Aldehydes and Ketones
In the first step of the mechanism, the acid protonates the carbonyl oxygen resulting in a resonance-stabilized cation, which subsequently loses an α-hydrogen to form an enol tautomer. The C=C bond in an enol is highly nucleophilic because of the electron-donating nature of the –OH group. Consequently, the double bond attacks an electrophilic halogen to form a...
01:19Acid Halides to Alcohols: LiAlH4 Reduction
The mechanism proceeds in three steps. First, the nucleophilic hydride ion attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid halide to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Next, the carbonyl group is re-formed, and the halide ion departs as a leaving group, generating an aldehyde. A second nucleophilic attack by the hydride yields an alkoxide ion, which, upon protonation, gives a primary alcohol as...
