Case Report: This is a case of 39 year-old male who was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis based on characteristic symptoms and positive CT findings on presentation. Laboratory testing revealed elevated serum glucose 251 mg/dL, low serum bicarbonate 8 mmol/L, increased anion gap 21, and elevated serum beta-hydroxybutyrate 9.

Fluorescent zinc(II) thione and selone complexes for light-emitting applications.

Three 1-(anthracene-9-ylmethyl)-3-isopropyl-imidazol-2-thione Zn(II) halide complexes (1-3) and one 1-(anthracene-9-ylmethyl)-3-isopropyl-imidazol-2-selone Zn(II) dichloride complex (4) were synthesized and characterized. Complexes 2, 3, and 4 exhibited distorted tetrahedral geometries, while complex 1 adopted a regular tetrahedral geometry. All these complexes displayed emission in the crystalline state, with complex 3 emitting in the yellow region and complex 1 and 4 in the blue region, while complex 2 gave a bluish-green emission.

Current Approaches to Ulcerative Colitis Management: A Comprehensive Overview of Methodologies and Treatments.

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic, idiopathic, inflammatory condition affecting the colon, primarily impacting individuals aged 30 to 40. It typically begins in the rectum and gradually progresses to the proximal regions of the colon, characterized by recurrent and remitting mucosal inflammation. Ulcerative colitis is categorized under inflammatory bowel disease, which encompasses various gastrointestinal tract disorders, but its underly-ing pathophysiology remains unclear.

Training and education in pharmacovigilance: The experience from the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India.
