This study details two cases of traumatic cataracts with a history of blunt trauma. Both presented with progressive vision loss, mydriasis, and zonular dialysis. The surgical intervention involved complete cataractous lens removal, anterior vitrectomy, iris cerclage with 10-0 prolene sutures, and retropupillary iris-claw lens fixation.

In this study, we have investigated the structure and dynamics of three ionic liquids consisting of N-butyl N-methyl piperidinium [Pip] cation with amino acid (lysine [Lys], histidine [His], and arginine [Arg]) anions. The radial distribution functions, the spatial distribution functions, and the coordination numbers have been used to analyze the structure in the bulk phase.

Owing to its low bioavailability, a high dose of ALB-HCl is recommended with food to meet clinical efficacy. Thus, there is a need for a delivery system to overcome the bioavailability concerns.

The objective of this study was to develop and assess impact of a capacity building program utilizing clinical teaching and simulation to enhance knowledge and skills of residents at a healthcare facility in India.
Methods: A training program comprising of 14 modules on basic obstetric ultrasounds was created over 3 months.
Arylomycin, a potent antibiotic targeting bacterial signal peptidase, is difficult to synthesize experimentally due to its poor to moderate yields and the formation of a mixture of compounds. A recent experimental bioengineering work shows that the core of arylomycin can be efficiently synthesized by engineering the cytochrome P450 enzyme from sp.; however, the mechanism of the same was not elucidated.
