Aromaticity of Heterocyclic Compounds and Their Corrosion Inhibition Property: Experimental and Theoretical Analysis.

Heterocycle derived moieties, namely, -(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(1-pyrrol-2-yl)methanimine (MPM), 1-(furan-2-yl)--(4-methoxyphenyl)methanimine (FMM), and -(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(thiophen-2-yl)methanimine (MTM), were synthesized followed by analysis of their structural aspects using FTIR and H NMR spectroscopic techniques. The corrosion retarding abilities of the same were distinguished by gravimetric and certain electrochemical measures for mild steel in 0.5 M HSO, and MTM was obtained with maximum inhibition efficiency of 97.

3-1-3 Weight averaging technique-based performance evaluation of deep neural networks for Alzheimer's disease detection using structural MRI.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder. It is identified by the gradual shrinkage of the brain and the loss of brain cells. This leads to cognitive decline and impaired social functioning, making it a major contributor to dementia.

The Management of Intracardiac Thrombus in a COVID-19 Patient Using IV Thrombolytics: A Case Report.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has unveiled numerous clinical challenges, particularly its association with thrombotic events, which significantly contribute to morbidity and mortality. While thrombotic complications such as arterial and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are well-documented, instances of intracardiac thrombus are notably rare. This case report discusses a 60-year-old male with COVID-19 who came to the hospital due to respiratory distress.

Development of iodine based sustained release antimicrobial coatings for polyurethane voice prostheses.

Voice prostheses are known to fail in few weeks to several months of implantation due to the clogging mainly caused by microbial biofilm formation, which is a cause of concern. Iodine is a known broad-spectrum biocide and is reported to easily form complexes with various polymers. For long term device disinfection, strong iodine complexation that offers sustained iodine release for a prolonged period is essential.

The Management of a Urinary Bladder Leak in a Patient with Radiation Cystitis.

Urinary dysfunction following treatment for rectal adenocarcinoma is a common and complex complication. We present a case of a 69-year-old male who underwent laparoscopic-assisted left hemicolectomy and loop ileostomy after receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy for rectal adenocarcinoma. Postoperatively, it was incidentally discovered the patient had urinary frequency and urgency.

Stem Rot of Pearl Millet Prevalence, Symptomatology, Disease Cycle, Disease Rating Scale and Pathogen Characterization in Pearl Millet-Klebsiella Pathosystem.

The oldest and most extensively cultivated form of millet, known as pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.

Achieving High-Temperature Phosphorescence by Organic Cocrystal Engineering.

Organic phosphors offer a promising alternative in optoelectronics, but their temperature-sensitive feature has restricted their applications in high-temperature scenarios, and the attainment of high-temperature phosphorescence (HTP) is still challenging. Herein, a series of organic cocrystal phosphors are constructed by supramolecular assembly with an ultralong emission lifetime of up to 2.16 s.

Parent's Perspective of Problems Faced during the COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown on the Care of Children with Epilepsy: A Qualitative Study.

Background: COVID-19 has significantly impacted the care of children with chronic illness. There is a paucity of data on issues faced by parents of children with epilepsy (CWE) in an Indian setup.

Objectives: The objective was to describe the parental perspective of the problems faced by them on the care of their CWE during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Analysis of Risk Factors for Cholelithiasis: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Objectives Cholelithiasis poses a considerable medical burden worldwide. While its pathogenesis is multifactorial, identifying the key risk factors is essential for understanding the disease and improving patient care. This study aims to investigate the potential associations between demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables and the development of cholelithiasis.

A Review of Electrochemical Techniques for Corrosion Monitoring - Fundamentals and Research Updates.

Interculturally, corrosion has been counted as one of the most expensive factors toward the retrogression of concrete and metallic structures resulting in huge monetary losses and unanticipated loss of life. To a large extent, corrosion-related catastrophes can be avoided by having the ability to monitor corrosion before structural integrity is jeopardized. This paper critically reviews the various accustomed electrochemical techniques utilized for corrosion monitoring in terms of their definition, timeline, experimental set-up, advantages, and shortcomings.

Proteolytically Stable ααγ-Hybrid Peptides Inhibit the Aggregation and Cytotoxicity of Aβ.

The recent approval of antibody-based therapy for targeting the clearance of amyloid plaques fuels the research in designing small molecules and peptide inhibitors to target the aggregation of Aβ-peptides. Here, we report that the 15-residue ααγ-hybrid peptide not only inhibits the aggregation of soluble Aβ into fibrils but also disintegrates the aggregated Aβ fibrils into smaller assemblies. Further, the hybrid peptide completely rescues neuronal cells from the toxicity of Aβ at equimolar concentrations.

Cyclization of -Boc-()-α,β-unsaturated γ-amino acid active esters into -Boc-()-α,β-unsaturated γ-lactams through → isomerization.

Here, we are reporting the spontaneous transformation of the active esters of -Boc protected -α,β-unsaturated γ-amino acids into the corresponding -α,β-unsaturated γ-lactams with concomitant → isomerization in the presence of a weak base. No cyclization was observed in the absence of the base. Analysis revealed that amide γ-NH is crucial for both lactamization and → isomerization.

The Reliability of Kaplan's Cardinal Line as a Potential Surface Marker for the Superficial Palmar Arch During Carpal Tunnel Release: An Anatomical Study With Surgical Perspective.

Purpose Kaplan's cardinal line (KCL) provides a more accurate reference point to the superficial palmar arch (SPA). The aim was to determine the KCL-SPA distances and their relationship with the other defined superficial landmarks, such as distal wrist crease (DWC) or distal portion of the transverse carpal ligament (TCL) or DWC-TCL distance. The objective was to determine the distal limit of the incision made during carpal tunnel release (CTR).

Stereoselective synthesis of backbone extended π-conjugated amino esters.

Utilization of the Wittig reaction to synthesize conjugative multiple double bonds is rare. We examined the utility of the Wittig reaction to construct conjugative two and three carbon-carbon double bonds on the N-protected amino acid backbone. The ethyl esters of -Boc amino acids with multiple carbon-carbon double bonds in the backbone were isolated in excellent yields with exceptional -selectivity of the double bonds.

A cationic amphiphilic peptide chaperone rescues Aβ aggregation and cytotoxicity.

Directing Aβ to adopt a conformation that is free from aggregation and cell toxicity is an attractive and viable strategy to design therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease. Over the years, extensive efforts have been made to disrupt the aggregation of Aβ using various types of inhibitors but with limited success. Herein, we report the inhibition of aggregation of Aβ and disintegration of matured fibrils of Aβ into smaller assemblies by a 15-mer cationic amphiphilic peptide.

Lived experiences of caregivers and survivors of paediatric spinal cord injury: A scoping review of qualitative studies.

Context: Paediatric Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) has an impact on a child's dynamic development, disrupting their participation in school, community, and social relationships while simultaneously causing repercussions on their caregiver's life.
