The rise of various diseases demands the development of new agents with antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, enzyme-inhibiting, and cytotoxic properties. In this study, heterocyclic Schiff base complexes of Cu(II) featuring a benzo[]thiophene moiety were synthesized and their biological activities evaluated. The complexes were characterized using FT-IR, UV-Vis, and EPR spectroscopy, TG-DTG analysis, magnetic moment measurements, molar conductivity measurements, and elemental analyses.

Introduction: Dermoscopy is an important noninvasive tool that helps to determine the stability and activity of vitiligo. Various dermoscopic findings help classify the disease as stable or unstable. This is important for the management of the disease, as surgical management requires disease stability.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how COVID-19 disruptions affected neuroscience research projects and young researchers in India through an online survey targeting medical trainees, post-docs, PhD students, and early career faculty.
  • A total of 504 valid responses revealed that over 83% of participants experienced negative impacts on their research, with one-third noting delays and many adapting their methodologies due to the pandemic.
  • The findings highlighted significant challenges, particularly for those involved in prospective studies, emphasizing the need for focused support for neuroscience research in the post-pandemic landscape.

Background And Objectives: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has expedited the diagnostic process and unearthed many rare disorders in leukodystrophy (LD) and genetic leukoencephalopathy (gLE). Despite the progress in genomics, there is a paucity of data on the distribution of genetic white matter disorders (WMDs) and the diagnostic utility of NGS-based assays in a clinical setting. This study was initiated to explore the clinical, radiologic, and genetic spectrum of LD and gLE in the Indian population and also to estimate the diagnostic yield of clinical exome sequencing (CES).
