Wastewater treatment using Moringa oleifera (Lam.) and Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) as neutral-carbon options within the framework of COP 27 recommendations.

Contamination of water by heavy toxic metal ions such as (e.g., Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As Pb, Cd, and Ag) can lead to serious environmental and human health problems because of their acute and chronic toxicity to the biological system.

Interleukin 37; a possible marker of arterial stiffness in Behçet's disease.

Background: Interleukin 37 (IL-37) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine previously studied in Behçet's disease (BD) and atherosclerosis. However, little is known about its relation to macro and microcirculations in BD. Previous studies relied mainly on common carotid artery (CCA) intima-media thickness (IMT) and ankle brachial index (ABI) to study atherosclerosis in BD with conflicting results.

Ligational behaviour of lomefloxacin drug towards Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Th(IV) and UO(2)(VI) ions: synthesis, structural characterization and biological activity studies.

Nine new mononuclear Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Th(IV) and UO(2)(VI) complexes of lomefloxacin drug were synthesized. The structures of these complexes were elucidated by elemental analyses, IR, XRD, UV-vis, (1)H NMR as well as conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements and thermal analyses. The dissociation constants of lomefloxacin and stability constants of its binary complexes have been determined spectrophotometrically in aqueous solution at 25±1°C and at 0.

Synthesis, structural, thermal studies and biological activity of a tridentate Schiff base ligand and their transition metal complexes.

Schiff base (L) ligand is prepared via condensation of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxaldehyde with -2-aminopyridine. The ligand and its metal complexes are characterized based on elemental analysis, mass, IR, solid reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance, and thermal analyses (TG, DTG and DTA). The molar conductance reveals that all the metal chelates are non-electrolytes.
