Effectiveness of oral vancomycin as prophylaxis against infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients.

Objective: Patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) are at increased risk for infection (CDI). The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of oral vancomycin prophylaxis (OVP) for CDI in HSCT patients.

Design: Single-center, retrospective cohort.

Organophotoredox-Catalyzed Chemoselective Deprotection for Phenolic Ethers Driven by the Oxophilicity of Silicon.

An organophotocatalyzed approach for the chemoselective dealkylation of phenols is developed. This method demonstrates exceptional selectivity toward the cleavage of phenolic ethers over equivalent aliphatic ethers and alkyl benzoates, presenting a broad range of functional group sustainability. This strategy also enables selective debenzylation of phenols in the presence of reduction-sensitive functional groups.

Identification and Quantification of Deranged Metabolites in Critically Ill Patients Using NMR-Based Metabolomics.

Metabolomics is emerging as a significant approach to reflect the individual's response to pathophysiological conditions. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has evolved as a tool to identify metabolic dysregulations in critically ill patients afflicted with conditions like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), acute kidney injury (AKI), and sepsis. The spectral data from the serum sample of the study and control group are recorded using an 800 MHz NMR spectrometer and processed using NMR processing and analysis tools.

Starch-assisted facile gel formation method for the synthesis of Fe-Mn binary oxide for the simultaneous removal of As(iii) and As(v).

Researchers have significantly focused on eco-friendly methods for nanomaterial synthesis to reduce the reliance on hazardous chemicals. In light of this, this study presents an eco-friendly, straightforward, alkali-free method for synthesizing iron-manganese (Fe-Mn) binary oxide (FMBO) and their single oxides by adopting a direct gel formation approach using starch. The synthesized materials were characterized through FTIR, FESEM, EDX, and XRD.
