Association between rs1799983 polymorphism of eNOS gene and essential hypertension in Iraqi hypertensive patients.

Objective: Aim: To investigate allele frequencies of rs1799983 polymorphism eNOS genes and to determine association between rs1799983 polymorphism of eNOS gene and essential hypertension in Iraqi hypertensive patients.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: This is an observational cross sectional descriptive single center study. ninety hypertensive patients were recruited by specialist cardiologist and conducted at AL-Diwaniyah teaching hospital and department of pharmacology and therapeutics, college of medicine, university of Al-Qadisiyah, Iraq.

Parenteral nutrition compatibility and stability: Practical considerations.

Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a complex preparation that contains multiple component products with the associated risk for incompatibilities and diminished stabilities when combined together as an admixture. Significant patient harm can result from prescribing, preparing, and administering PN without confirming compatibility and stability. Incompatibility or instability is rarely obvious to the unaided eye, so safe PN admixture relies on incorporating physicochemical properties of the included components into compatibility and stability decisions.

Key considerations in navigating ticagrelor's reported effect on heparin-induced thrombocytopenia functional assays in a landscape of limited data.

Purpose: This article discusses key considerations regarding ticagrelor's reported effect on heparin-induced thrombocytopenia functional assays, such as literature gaps and possible management strategies.

Summary: Limited data indicate that ticagrelor may induce false-negative results in functional assays used in the diagnosis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. False-negative functional assays for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia could have catastrophic consequences.

AgScPS van der Waals Layered Crystal: A Material with a Unique Combination of Extreme Nonlinear Optical Properties.

Research in two-dimensional layered materials (2DLMs) has exploded over the past several years for a variety of applications in photonics and optoelectronics. The 2D nature of these materials allows for a very local electronic probe of material as well as flexible integration with other functional components. Herein, using the femtosecond Z-scan technique, we report a giant two photon absorption (TPA) process and its saturation in the van der Waals gapped silver scandium thiophosphate (AgScPS) crystal.
