Determinants of mortality after massive transfusion - A prospective study.

Introduction: Massive hemorrhage calls for massive transfusions (MTs) to maintain adequate hemostasis. Massive transfusion protocols (MTPs) are the appropriate treatment strategy for such patients replacing conventional use of crystalloids. These help in standardizing and optimizing the delivery of blood components in a well-balanced ratio.

Tamarind seed gum-based hydrogel for the targeted delivery of imidazobenzothiazole sulfonamide derivative as an anticancer agent.

The current investigation intended to assess the controlled delivery of 7-sulfonamide-2-(4-methylphenyl) imidazo[2,1-b] [1, 3] benzothiazole an anticancer agent (ACA) by tamarind seed gum-based hydrogel; for its potential activity against hepatocellular carcinoma. The FTIR spectra, SEM, C NMR, PXRD, and TGA analyses evidenced the successful loading of ACA into the hydrogel system. The rheological testing conveyed the increase in the elastic nature of ACA-loaded hydrogel helping in an effective release.

Assessing Health Seeking Behaviors and Economic Consequences of Morbidity in Indian Construction Workers: A Multicenter Study.

Background: Construction laborers succumb to poor health due to the inherent workplace health hazards and poor socio-economic living conditions. With rising healthcare expenses, the increased risk of poor health may aggravate their economic status, pushing them deeper into poverty.

Settings And Design: The current cross-sectional multicenter study comprehensively investigated the determinants of health, health-seeking behavior, and poor economic impact regarding catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) among construction laborers.

Plastic pyrolytic oils as renewable fuel: improving its physical properties and ignition patterns by waste renewable source-an experimental analysis.

The increase in plastic products and disposal poses a severe environmental challenge because of their poor biodegradability and undesirable disposal by landfilling. Recycling is the best possible solution to the environmental challenges implemented by the plastic industry. Pyrolysis is a process that converts waste plastics into pyrolytic oil, and it can be used as fuel in a blended form.
