Article Synopsis
  • YPO nanophosphors were synthesized with various concentrations of terbium (Tb) using a co-precipitation method, resulting in highly crystalline nanoparticles with an average size of around 40 nm, confirmed by PXRD and TEM.
  • The emission spectra of the nanoparticles showed peaks at wavelengths of 491, 545, 588, and 624 nm under UV light, indicating they could be used for applications in white light emitting diodes and optical displays.
  • A thermoluminescence study was performed on the 5at.wt% Tb doped YPO samples post gamma radiation exposure, with kinetic parameters being calculated using a deconvolution method.

Background: miRNAs are non-coding RNA that are recognized as biomarkers of kidney disorders. There is limited information on the differential expression of miRNA and their target genes in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome of childhood.

Methods: We enrolled patients, 2-18 years old, with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome, either at onset or during relapse, and steroid-resistant disease, at diagnosis of steroid-resistance.

The reduction of abundant benzene rings to scarce C(sp)-rich motifs is invaluable for drug design, as C(sp) content is known to correlate with clinical success. Cyclohexenes are attractive targets, as they can be rapidly elaborated into large product libraries and are stable against rearomatization. However, partial reduction reactions of benzenes to cyclohexenes are rare and have a very narrow scope.

Article Synopsis
  • Air pollution inside homes comes from various chemical, physical, and biological sources, significantly affecting health.
  • There's been a notable increase in indoor air research publications, indicating growing awareness, with some pollutants being more common across households.
  • Vulnerable populations like children and the elderly face greater health risks, and there's a lack of effective regulations and monitoring in most countries, especially in developing nations.
