Here, we demonstrate the design and creation of four custom ballistic gelatin ultrasound phantoms for ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia training. We designed the phantoms using computer-aided design software, used 3D-printed models to create silicone molds, and then poured melted ballistic gel into the molds to create custom tissue layers.

The block-building task provides a rapid, objective, quantitative measurement of how often individuals choose to use their left versus right hand for reach-to-grasp action. After unilateral peripheral nerve injury, patients often shift to near-total usage of one hand, the direction of which is not predictable from other clinical factors.
FAQs
Activation of the sulfur substituent promotes formation of a reactive glycosyl species. That intermediate can transfer the sugar unit to an alcohol or another nucleophile, creating a new glycosidic connection. The mechanism therefore links sulfur activation directly to the bond-forming stage of chemical glycosylation and allows the sugar unit to participate in controlled assembly of larger carbohydrate structures.
Protecting groups regulate the reactivity of the remaining hydroxyl groups on the carbohydrate unit. By limiting which hydroxyl sites participate during a reaction, they help direct the intended glycosylation pathway. They also influence stereochemistry, so their selection affects both the pattern of connections formed and the three-dimensional arrangement of the resulting carbohydrate structure.
The nucleophile provides the reaction partner that receives the transferred sugar unit after activation of the thioglycoside sulfur. Alcohols are one important class of partners, while other nucleophiles may also participate. Its presence connects activation of the building block to formation of the desired glycosidic linkage, making nucleophile selection central to carbohydrate assembly.
Their value comes from combining an activatable sulfur substituent with hydroxyl groups whose reactivity can be managed by protecting groups. This design supports controlled sugar transfer and helps address stereochemical requirements during assembly. As a result, chemists can use these intermediates to build increasingly complex glycan structures rather than treating each carbohydrate synthesis as an uncontrolled sequence of reactions.
A general workflow begins with a suitably protected carbohydrate building block, followed by activation of its thioglycoside sulfur. The resulting reactive glycosyl species is then exposed to an alcohol or another nucleophile so the sugar unit transfers to that partner. Protecting groups guide the reaction by controlling other hydroxyl groups and influencing the stereochemical outcome.
The essential components are the thioglycoside sulfur, the protected hydroxyl groups of the carbohydrate, and the alcohol or other nucleophile that receives the sugar unit. Their roles must be coordinated: sulfur activation generates the reactive species, protecting groups manage competing hydroxyl reactivity, and the nucleophile participates in forming the new glycosidic connection.
These intermediates support synthesis of oligosaccharides, glycoconjugates, and carbohydrate-based probes. The resulting molecules can be used in studies of molecular recognition and biological signaling, as well as investigations of carbohydrate-related therapeutic targets. Their synthetic flexibility makes them useful for connecting chemical assembly with questions about how carbohydrate structures function in biological systems.
