The separation of mixtures of isomers is a daunting task. It is found that perethylated pillar[5]arene can separate -dichloroethene from its isomer. This work deals with the host-guest interactions and the selective separation of dihaloethene over -dihaloethene using perethylated pillar[5]arene.

Aims And Objectives: To determine the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of core needle biopsies in diagnosing pediatric solid masses.
The involvement of many putative genetic factors makes osteoporosis a complex disease. With increasing longevity of the Indian population, it's now being realized that, as within the West, osteoporotic fractures are also a significant explanation for morbidity and mortality in postmenopausal women. Studies have suggested that the genetic component liable for bone mass could be linked to single nucleotide polymorphisms.

- The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Africa has varied significantly across countries, and its overall impact remains unclear.
- An analysis of 8,746 genomes from 33 African countries indicated that most outbreaks originated from Europe before international travel restrictions took effect.
- As the pandemic continued, increased movement and local transmission led to the emergence of several variants within Africa, emphasizing the need for a strong pandemic response on the continent to prevent becoming a source of new variants.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers found that the LARGE gene is crucial for how Lassa virus binds and enters human cells, linking it to natural selection in populations in Nigeria, particularly the Yoruba.
- They suggest that the rise of diseases like Lassa fever is more about increased detection capabilities than the emergence of new viruses, indicating humans may have been exposed to these pathogens for longer than thought.
- This groundwork inspired the Sentinel project, aimed at early detection and characterization of pathogens globally through its core strategies of detection, information sharing, and empowering public health systems to enhance pandemic preparedness.
