Perirenal abscess as a cause of intrauterine fetal death: A case report.

Urinary tract infection is one of the most common causes of hospital admission during pregnancy. We present a 27 years old woman who was at 28 weeks of pregnancy and she urinary tract infection developed to acute pyelonephritis. This condition developed to form perirenal abscess and intrauterine fetus death.

Design, synthesis, anticancer, and docking of some S- and/or N-heterocyclic derivatives as VEGFR-2 inhibitors.

Novel heterocyclic derivatives (4-22) were designed, synthesized, and evaluated against hepatocellular carcinoma type (HepG2) and breast cancer (MCF-7) cells, targeting the VEGFR-2 enzyme. Compounds 18, 10, 13, 11, and 14 were found to be the most potent derivatives against both the HepG2 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines, with GI  = 2.11, 2.

Construction of 2D layered TiO@MoSheterostructure for efficient adsorption and photodegradation of organic dyes.

In this work, heterostructures of coupled TiO@MoSwith different phases of MoSwere synthesized via hydrothermal technique. The prepared materials were thoroughly characterized using various techniques, including XRD, SEM, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmet-Teller, XPS, Zeta potential and UV-vis spectroscopy. The optimized nanocomposites were tested for the photocatalytic degradation of methyl Orange (MO) under visible light as well as the adsorption of Rhodamine b (RhB) and methelene blue (MB) dyes.

Pyridine-derived VEGFR-2 inhibitors: Rational design, synthesis, anticancer evaluations, in silico ADMET profile, and molecular docking.

Novel pyridine-derived compounds (5-19) were designed and synthesized, and their anticancer activities were evaluated against HepG2 and MCF-7 cells, targeting the VEGFR-2 enzyme. Compounds 10, 9, 8, and 15 were found to be the most potent derivatives against the two cancer cell lines, HepG2 and MCF-7, respectively, with IC  = 4.25 and 6.

The enhanced photocatalytic performance of SnS@MoS QDs with highly-efficient charge transfer and visible light utilization for selective reduction of mythlen-blue.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS) has recently been considered as an effective material for potential photocatalytic applications; however, its photocatalytic activity was limited due to the low density of active sites. In this work, MoS Quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized via the ultrasonication technique to construct heterostructure with SnS nanosheets (SnS@MoS QDs) and the prepared materials were tested for photocatalytic applications for Methylene blue (MB). Pristine SnS and SnS@MoS QDs nanocomposite were analyzed by XRD, TEM, PL, and Uv-Vis.

Revealing the role of the 1T phase on the adsorption of organic dyes on MoS nanosheets.

Herein, different phases of MoS nanosheets were synthesized, characterized and tested for dye removal from water. The influence of the MoS phases as well as the 1T concentration on the adsorption performance of organic dyes MO, RhB and MB was deeply investigated. The results revealed that the 1T-rich MoS nanosheets have superior adsorption performance compared to other 2H and 3R phases.

Treatment of children with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Effective management of children with chronic hepatitis B is still an unresolved issue.

Aim: To assess the outcome of different therapeutic regimens among children with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B.

Methods: Electronic database searches identified clinical trials that completed specific periods of treatment and follow-up.

Diagnostic value of ex vivo pleural fluid interferon-gamma versus adapted whole-blood quantiferon-TB gold in tube assays in tuberculous pleural effusion.

Background: Noninvasive diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis (TB) remains a challenge due to the paucibacillary nature of the disease. As Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)-specific T cells are recruited into pleural space in TB effusion; their indirect detection may provide useful clinical information.

Objectives: Evaluation of pleural fluid interferon (INF)-γ levels vs Quantiferon-TB Gold In tube assay (QFT- IT) in blood and its adapted variants, using pleural fluid or isolated pleural fluid cells in the diagnosis of pleural TB.
