Optimizing Light Dynamics: Designing a Ni-MOF Functionalized g-CN Type II Heterostructure and a TiC MXene Schottky Junction for the Efficient Photocatalytic H Production.

The photocatalytic production of hydrogen (H) from water is a vital avenue towards sustainable energy and addressing global environmental challenges. To maximize efficiency, harnessing the synergistic effects of multiple co-catalysts is essential, as these interactions can significantly enhance performance. In this study, we introduce a ternary heterojunction composed of a nickel-imidazole framework (Ni-MOF), graphitic carbon nitride (CN), and TiC MXene (TC), employing solvothermal and wet impregnation methods, featuring a well-designed Type II heterojunction and a noble metal-free Schottky junction for efficient hydrogen evolution.

Leveraging the photocatalytic Cr (VI) reduction by an IRMOF-3@NH-MIL-101 (Fe) heterostructure based on interfacial Lewis acid-base interaction.

A strategy to enhance the photocatalytic performance of metal-organic framework (MOF) based systems for the efficient elimination of Cr(VI) ions from polluted water under visible light irradiation has been developed by constructing MOF@MOF heterojunctions. Specifically, IRMOF-3 was grown in situ around NH-MIL-101(Fe) based on interfacial Lewis acid-base interaction using 2-aminoterephthalic acid (ATA) as a linker, resulting in the formation of a MOF@MOF heterojunction, designated as IRMOF-3@NH-MIL-101(Fe). In comparison to individual MOFs, the IRMOF-3@NH-MIL-101(Fe) heterojunction exhibited a significantly higher photocatalytic reduction efficiency for Cr(VI), achieving a reduction of 95.

Modified Sick Neonatal Score and Delta: Modified Sick Neonatal Scores As Prognostic Indicators in Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

Background Modified Sick Neonatal Score (MSNS) is a modification of the Sick Neonatal Score (SNS) by adding perinatal factors such as birth weight and gestational age to the scoring. A significantly higher sensitivity and specificity were obtained by adding the above parameters to SNS. The parameters in MSNS were simple and easy to score, but the scoring was done only once, and the utility of the score to assess the response to treatment was not analysed.

Neurological Disorders Seen During Second Wave of SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic from Two Tertiary Care Centers in Central and Southern Kerala.

Background And Objective: SARS-CoV-2 infections present with predominant respiratory symptoms. Only a few anecdotal reports of neurological involvement have come out from India so far. Adverse neurological events following immunization (AEFI) were also reported.

Anti-malarial property of steroidal alkaloid conessine isolated from the bark of Holarrhena antidysenterica.

Background: In the face of chronic and emerging resistance of parasites to currently available drugs and constant need for new anti-malarials, natural plant products have been the bastion of anti-malarials for thousands of years. Moreover natural plant products and their derivatives have traditionally been a common source of drugs, and represent more than 30% of the current pharmaceutical market. The present study shows evaluation of anti-malarial effects of compound conessine isolated from plant Holarrhena antidysenterica frequently used against malaria in the Garhwal region of north-west Himalaya.

Antimalarial potential of China 30 and Chelidonium 30 in combination therapy against lethal rodent malaria parasite: Plasmodium berghei.

Homeopathy is a therapeutic method based on the application of similia principle, utilizing ultra-low doses of medicinal substances made from natural products. The present study has been designed to evaluate the efficacy of Cinchona officinalis (Chin.) 30C and Chelidonium majus (Chel.
