The work relies on dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) with polyethylene imine (PEI)-coated magnetic nanoparticles to preconcentrate zolpidem from the matrix, in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) for matrix isolation, for the first time. The optimized conditions emphasize the use of an environmentally preferable mobile phase [methanol: 0.

In recent years, there has been a growing utilization of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membranes with bioabsorbable properties as these membranes are increasingly employed to guide the growth of gingival tissue away from the root surface. Both resorbable and non-resorbable membranes currently employed act as physical barriers, preventing the ingrowth of connective and epithelial tissues into the defect and thereby facilitating periodontal tissue regeneration.

This cross sectional study was conducted under the ICMR-STS program with IEC approval with the aim to estimate and correlate serum magnesium, zinc, and iron levels in CAD patients compared to healthy Individuals in the Urban South Indian population (50 cases, 50 controls, aged 40-70 years). Statistical analyses revealed a significant difference in serum iron levels between cases (95.

Yet, little is known about how environmental characteristics are related to cognition in schizophrenia. By examining how cognition and the environment are intertwined, it may be possible to identify modifiable risk and protective factors that can improve cognitive outcomes in schizophrenia.
