Management of peri-ovarian hematoma following oocyte retrieval in a pooling cycle IVF: Case report.

Here we report a case of peri-ovarian hematoma following ovum pick-up in a patient in a pooling cycle IVF (in vitro fertilization). We have attempted to discuss the possible mechanisms for the development of hematoma in such patients, the common clinical presentation, monitoring, and management of these cases. The decision to operate or to manage conservatively forms an important aspect of managing such patients.

Amitraz poisoning: Early gastric lavage can prevent life-threatening complications.

Amitraz is a worldwide available pesticide of formamidine chemical family, proven to have reversible toxic effects on both animals and humans. Upon intoxication by ingestion, inhalation, or dermal route, it can cause various central nervous system (CNS), CVS, respiratory and gastrointestinal effects, some of which may be life threatening. Because of lack of specific antidote patients are usually managed with supportive and symptomatic management.

Novel easy to fabricate liquid crystal composite with potential for electrically or thermally controlled transparency windows.

Switchable liquid crystal (LC) composites are a unique and attractive class of functional materials due to their extensive use in various applications including smart and privacy windows. Demand for developing smart windows with good switchable performance has steadily increasing in the past decades due to their importance in energy saving. Herein, we present the use of novel and highly active switchable LC composite material-octadecanol-doped LC-prepared via a facile, low-cost, and scalable process, for thermally or electrically controlled transparency windows.

Synthesis, Spectral Properties and DFT Calculations of new Ruthenium (II) Polypyridyl Complexes; DNA Binding Affinity and in Vitro Cytotoxicity Activity.

In this paper a novel ligand debip (2-(4-N,N-diethylbenzenamine)1H-imidazo[4,5-f] [1, 10]phenanthroline) and its Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes [Ru(L)(debip)], (L = phen (1), bpy (2) and dmb (3)) have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques. The DNA binding studies for all these complexes were examined by absorption, emission, quenching studies, viscosity measurements and cyclic voltammetry. The light switching properties of complexes 1-3 have been evaluated.

Reversible Polymorphism, Liquid Crystallinity, and Stimuli-Responsive Luminescence in a Bola-amphiphilic π-System: Structure-Property Correlations Through Nanoindentation and DFT Calculations.

We report the design, synthesis, detailed characterization, and analysis of a new multifunctional π-conjugated bola-amphiphilic chromophore: oligo-(p-phenyleneethynylene)dicarboxylic acid with dialkoxyoctadecyl side chains (OPE-C-1). OPE-C-1 shows two polymorphs at 123 K (OPE-C-1') and 373 K (OPE-C-1″), whose crystal structures were characterized via single crystal X-ray diffraction. OPE-C-1 also exhibits thermotropic liquid crystalline property revealing a columnar phase.

Influence of virtual surfaces on Frank elastic constants in a polymer-stabilized bent-core nematic liquid crystal.

Effect of a polymer network on the threshold voltage of the Fréedericksz transition, Frank elastic constants, switching speed, and the rotational viscosity are investigated in a polymer-stabilized bent-core nematic liquid crystal with different polymer concentrations. These polymer networks form virtual surfaces with a finite anchoring energy. The studies bring out several differences in comparison to similar studies with a calamitic liquid crystal as the nematic host.

Exploration of the binding modes of L-asparaginase complexed with its amino acid substrates by molecular docking, dynamics and simulation.

Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is an outrageous disease worldwide. L-Asparagine (L-Asn) and L-glutamine (L-Gln) deamination plays crucial role in ALL treatment. Role of Erwinaze (L-asparaginase from Erwinia chrysanthemi) in regulation of L-Asn and L-Gln has been confirmed by the experimental studies.
