Mesoporous bioactive glass, with its versatile characteristics and morphology, holds significant potential as an ideal hemostatic material. However, limited data is available regarding its toxicity levels. Consequently, this research intends to assess the acute and repeated dose dermal toxicity of Mesoporous antibacterial bioactive glass microsphere impregnated nonwoven surgical cotton gauze (MABGmscg) dressing in albino Wistar rats, following the standards set by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

A simple imine derivative based sensor (IDP) has been synthesized and characterized by H NMR, C NMR and mass spectral techniques. IDP is more capable of detecting perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in a selective and sensitive manner. The PFOA as a biomarker interacts with IDP and shows "TURN-ON" response by colorimetric and fluorimetric method.
