Elevated Arsenic and Chromium levels in surface and ground waters are a significant health concern in several parts of the world. Chitosan quinoxaline Schiff base (CsQ) and cross-linked chitosan quinoxaline Schiff base (CsQG) were prepared to adsorb both Arsenate [As(V)] and Chromium [Cr(VI)] ions. The thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to investigate the prepared Schiff bases (CsQ) and (CsQG).

Peptic ulcer disease (PUD), often caused by infection, is a prevalent gastrointestinal condition characterized by the erosion of the gastric or duodenal mucosal lining. adheres to gastric epithelial cells, secreting toxins and disrupting the stomach's defenses. relies on various receptors to establish infection, making these molecules attractive therapeutic targets.

Four novel chitosan hydrogels were successfully synthesized through the cross-linking reaction of chitosan with different concentrations of ethyl 5-(3,5-dihydroxy-1,4-dioxan-2-yl)-2-methylfuran-3-carboxylate. Their structures were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), C Cross polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (CP/MAS C NMR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA, DTA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Cytotoxicity on hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2) cell line and a normal African green monkey kidney (Vero) cell line were studied using the MTT assay.

Introduction And Importance: Idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of the mesenteric veins (IMHMV) is a poorly understood disorder which poses a diagnostic challenge to clinicians and pathologists. Here we have described the case of a male patient with IMHMV along with a presumed history of ulcerative colitis for 1 year.

Case Presentation: A 55-year-old male presented to the OPD with history of chronic abdominal pain.

Two novel chitosan Schiff bases namely chitosan pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline Schiff base (Ch-PQ) and chitosan phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline Schiff base (Ch-PQ) were synthesized as a modification of chitosan in order to increase its ability in heavy metal removal from wastewater. Their structures were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, TGA analysis and X-ray diffraction. They were tested for the removal of hexavalent chromium from synthetic samples.
