Role of Quetiapine in the Prevention of ICU Delirium in Elderly Patients at a High Risk.

Background: The aim of the present study was to denote the effectiveness of Quetiapine as additive to preventive bundle of delirium in elderly patients with multiple risks for delirium.

Patients And Methods: The study was performed on 90 elderly patients over 60 years. The patients were divided into Group Q (Quetiapine) and Group C (No Quetiapine).

Efficacy and Safety of Continuous vs Intermittent Linezolid Infusion in Critically Ill Patients with Septic Shock.

Unlabelled: The synthetic antimicrobial agent Linezolid effectively penetrates many tissues and exhibits effectiveness against drug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. This agent's pharmacokinetic qualities cast doubt on the need for intravenous treatment in cases of serious illness. For its time-dependent action to have an impact, serum levels must stay above the minimum inhibitory concentration throughout the dosage interval.

Clinical practice recommendations for management of Diabetes Mellitus in Arab region: An expert consensus statement from Arab Diabetes Forum (ADF).

Prevalence of diabetes in Arab region has significantly increased, resulting in a significant economic burden on healthcare systems. This surge can be attributed to obesity, rapid urbanization, changing dietary habits, and sedentary lifestyles. The Arab Diabetes Forum (ADF) has established localized recommendations to tackle the region's rising diabetes prevalence.

MnCoFeO and encapsulated MnCoFeO/SiO magnetic nanoparticles for efficient Pb removal from aqueous solution.

Sol-gel auto-combustion technique was used to synthesize spinel ferrite nanoparticles of MnCoFeO (MCF). Using the modified Stöber method, these magnetic nanoparticles were encapsulated with silica to form the core/shell MnCoFeO/SiO (MCFS). The phase composition, morphology, particle size, and saturation magnetization of the encapsulated nanoparticles were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution-transition electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM).

Adsorption of Methylene Blue and Pb by using acid-activated Posidonia oceanica waste.

Dead leaves of seagrass Posidonia oceanica were activated by using one mol L acetic acid and used as an eco-adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue (MB) and Pb from aqueous solutions. The seagrass was characterized by chemical and physical measurements that confirmed the acid-activation of seagrass. The favourable conditions for MB and Pb adsorption onto the activated seagrass (SG) were determined to be a pH range of 2-12 and ≥6, an adsorbent dosage of 3.
