The Pakistan Brain Tumour Epidemiology Study.

Objectives: To provide information about brain tumour epidemiology in Pakistan and potential associated risk factors due to family, medical and social characteristics.

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional nationwide study was designed by the Pakistan Society of Neuro-oncology, to include patients diagnosed with brain tumours in Pakistan retrospectively, from January 1, 2019- December 31, 2019. The study intended to involve data from all age groups for all brain tumour cases, irrespective of histopathology which would determine the national prevalence and incidence of these tumours.

REPORT: IR study of degradation of acetaminophen by iron nano-structured catalyst.

Full degradation of acetaminophen (paracetamol) in aqueous solution was investigated at room temperature through heterogeneous iron nano-structured as catalyst in this article. Iron Nano-structured was prepared through simple hydrothermal processes using Iron oxide (FeO) as precursor. The catalytic activity of as prepared Nano-catalyst (NC) was investigated in the degradation of the acetaminophen as an environmental pollutant, commonly called paracetamol, under different operating parameters like pH, dosages of acetaminophen and dose of NC.

REPORT-The preparation of TiO2 nanoparticles through hydrothermal phase transformation and its activity in water chemistry.

The current article presents a simple new route of cost-effective and straight forward synthesis of the anatase structure of Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs). The solvent Hydrothermal Phase Transformed (HPT) method adopted for the conversion of bulk precursor of TiO powder at Nano scale to get contaminated free photoactive TiO2 NPs. The morphology, crystal phase and surface area characterization of NPs completed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
