Synthesis, Luminescent and Antibacterial Properties of Sol-Gel TiO/TeO/NbO Powders.

The present paper deals with the synthesis, characterization, and properties of sol-gel-derived TiO/TeO/NbO nanopowders. The gels were prepared using a combination of organic [Ti (IV) n-butoxide, Nb (V) ethoxide (CHNbO)] and inorganic [telluric acid (HTeO)] precursors. The aging of gels was performed in air for several days in order to enable further hydrolysis.

Real-World Effectiveness and Safety of Lixisenatide as Add-On to Oral Antidiabetic Drugs as Part of Routine Clinical Practice in Bulgaria: LIXODAR Study.

Introduction: This study aimed to demonstrate the beneficial effect of lixisenatide as add-on therapy to oral antidiabetics (OADs) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in routine clinical practice in Bulgaria.

Methods: This was a prospective, observational, multicentre study evaluating the real-life effectiveness and safety of 24-week treatment with lixisenatide in previously uncontrolled T2DM patients on combination therapy with metformin and sulfonylurea on highest tolerable doses.

Results: A total of 262 patients were included in the study.
