Eco-Friendly Synthesis of Zirconium Dioxide Nanoparticles from : Applications in Dye Degradation, Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activity.

Zirconium dioxide nanoparticles (ZrO NPs) have gained significant attention due to their excellent bioavailability, low toxicity, and diverse applications in the medical and industrial fields. In this study, ZrO NPs were synthesized using zirconyl oxychloride and the aqueous leaf extract of as a stabilizing agent. Analytical techniques, including various spectroscopy methods and electron microscopy, confirmed the formation of aggregated spherical ZrO NPs, ranging from 15 to 30 nm in size, with mixed-phase structure composed of tetragonal and monoclinic structures.

Synthesis of Some Thiazolyl and Oxazolyl Quinazoline Derivatives as Potential Anti-Microbial Agents.

Introduction: Quinazoline holds significant importance in pharmaceutical chemistry, which is included in a range of drugs, clinical contenders, and bioactive compounds. N-contain-ing heterocyclic compounds of quinazoline have a wide and distinct range of biopharmaceutical activities.

Methods: A series of newly synthesized heterocyclic compounds, namely, N-(4-substituted ben-zylidene)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-6-methylquinazolin-3(4H)-amines (3a'-3e') and N-(4-substi-tuted benzylidene)-2-(2-aminooxazol-4-yl)-6-methylquinazolin-3(4H)-amines (3a-3e), were synthesized starting from 6-methylquinazolin-3(4H)-amine and 4-substituted benzaldehyde and their antibacterial and antifungal properties were evaluated.

Who is at risk for tPA/DNase treatment failure in empyema?-protocol to identify key predictors for early surgical intervention from a retrospective study.

Background: Empyema, characterized by the accumulation of pus in the pleural cavity, poses significant treatment challenges. While intrapleural tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and deoxyribonuclease (DNase) therapy is effective for many patients, a substantial proportion require surgical intervention, such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), following treatment failure. Identifying tPA/DNase treatment failure-associated predictors is crucial for optimizing patient management and improving outcomes.

Efficacy of early enteral feeding with supplemented mother's milk on postoperative outcomes of cardiac surgical infants: A randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Congenital heart disease (CHD)-associated malnutrition is a systemic consequence of CHD. Dietary recommendations to fulfill nutritional requirements are lacking. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to determine the efficacy of early enteral feeding with supplemented expressed breast milk (suppl-EBM) versus expressed breast milk (EBM) in improving the weight of postoperative cardiac surgical infants.
