Cells Gone Wild: A Case Report on Missed Acute Leukemia and Subsequent Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation in the Emergency Department.

Introduction: Emergency physicians must maintain a broad differential when seeing patients in the emergency department (ED). Occasionally, a patient may have an undiagnosed, life-threatening medical condition not related to the presenting chief complaint. It is imperative to review all ordered laboratory tests and any available previous laboratory values to assess for any abnormalities that may warrant further evaluation.

Acute intentional caffeine overdose treated preemptively with hemodialysis.

Caffeine is the most commonly used central nervous system stimulant. While it has a high LD (150-200 mg/kg), when ingested in significant quantity, caffeine can lead to severe and even lethal side effects. Manifestation of toxicity include tachyarrhythmias, seizures, and metabolic derangements which can eventually lead to cardiovascular collapse and death.

Controlled release of vitamin B and evaluation of biodegradation studies of chitosan and gelatin based hydrogels.

Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, is a vitamin synthesized for dietary supplementation and medication. In order to improve dissolution, bioavailability and sustained release of Thiamine, we prepared Thiamine hydrochloride (TH) and beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) host-guest solid inclusion complexes by microwave irradiation and studied the chemical characteristics and drug delivery potential of the complex. Based upon the molecular docking and phase solubility studies, we proposed the most probable structure of 1:1 inclusion complex.

Self-assembled GO incorporated CMC and Chitosan-based nanocomposites in the removal of cationic dyes.

The purpose of the present study is to synthesise a self assembled nanocomposite by incorporating GO nanosheets into the polymer network of carboxy methyl cellulose and chitosan without using any initiator and cross-linker system. By incorporation of GO nanosheets, a great enhancement in various properties likes surface roughness, percentage swelling (from 2347% to 4633.8%) and adsorbent properties.

Comparative study on the behaviour of Chitosan-Gelatin based Hydrogel and nanocomposite ion exchanger synthesized under microwave conditions towards photocatalytic removal of cationic dyes.

The present work reports the comparison study of Chitosan-Gelatin based hydrogels with their nanocomposite ion exchangers synthesized under microwave conditions for the adsorption and photodegradation of the cationic dyes. In this report, the hydrogel based on Chitosan-Gelatin, more selective for anionic dyes is modified to nanocomposite ion exchanger by incorporating the zirconium (IV) selenophosphate to make it selective for cationic dyes. The nanocomposite was investigated with a tremendous hike in the degradation capacity (99% from 12%) of MB after being modified to nanocomposite ion exchanger.

Studies on the properties and biodegradability of PVA/Trapa natans starch (N-st) composite films and PVA/N-st-g-poly (EMA) composite films.

The morphological modification of Trapa natans starch was done by grafting the methylmethacrylate (EMA) using ferrous ammonium sulphate‑potassium persulphate as a redox initiator. Different reaction parameters such as reaction temperature, time, monomer concentration, pH and solvent were optimized to get maximum graft yield (56%). The graft copolymers thus formed were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and TGA/DTA/DTG techniques.

Development and characterization of novel microsatellite markers in Trillium govanianum: a threatened plant species from North-Western Himalaya.

Trillium govanianum is a temperate forest understory plant species of high value belonging to the family Melanthiaceae. It is endemic to Himalayan region and facing a bottleneck situation due to reckless extractions from its natural strands. In the present study, 21 microsatellite markers were developed and characterized in 20 accessions of T.

Development of novel SSR markers for evaluation of genetic diversity and population structure in Tribulus terrestris L. (Zygophyllaceae).

Tribulus terrestris L., commonly called puncture vine and gokhru, is an important member of Zygophyllaceae. The species is highly important in context to therapeutic uses and provides important active principles responsible for treatment of various diseases and also used as tonic.

Dansyl-anthracene dyads for ratiometric fluorescence recognition of Cu2+.

Dansyl-anthracene dyads 1 and 2 in CH(3)CN-H(2)O (7:3) selectively recognize Cu(2+) ions amongst alkali, alkaline earth and other heavy metal ions using both absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy. In absorbance, the addition of Cu(2+) to the solution of dyads 1 or 2 results in appearance of broad absorption band from 200 nm to 725 nm for dyad 1 and from 200 nm to 520 nm for dyad 2. This is associated with color change from colorless to blue (for 1) and fluorescent green (for 2).
