Thiol-Functionalized Cobalt Ferrite (CoFeO@MPTS) Nanoparticles as Cutting-Edge Adsorbents for Bovine Serum Albumin.

This paper describes the synthesis of CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles via a simple ultrasonic-assisted co-precipitation method and their functionalization with thiol groups using (3-Mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTS) as the functionalizing agent. The use of ultrasonic energy not only serves as a green energy source but also reduces the reaction time fivefold compared to conventional methods. The synthesized CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles were characterized for their surface and internal properties using instrumental techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM).

Facile synthesis of nanogels modified FeO@Ag NPs for the efficient adsorption of bovine & human serum albumin.

This article describes the preparation of FeO nanoparticles and its decoration with a layer of tiny Ag nanoparticles at room temperature. Later on, the synthesized FeO@Ag heterostructures were protected with Silica and finally modified with Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPA) nanogels through post-synthesis method to get multifunctional (superparamagnetic, plasmonic and thermosensitive) nanocomposite. The structural characteristics of FeO@Ag@SiO-PNIPA nanogels composite were investigated by instrumental techniques such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM).

Effect Of Dexamethasone Versus Placebo For Improved Recovery In Patients Undergoing Anaesthetic Interventions For General Surgical Procedures.

Background: Endotracheal intubation is one of the basic prerequisites of general anaesthesia. Recovery of patients is delayed due to the development of post-operative nausea, vomiting, sore throat and shivering. This study was conducted to determine role of dexamethasone for improved recovery of patients.

Synthesis and characterization of magnetite nanoparticles having different cover layer and investigation of cover layer effect on the adsorption of lysozyme and bovine serum albumin.

In this study, differently coated superparamagnetic FeO (magnetite) nanoparticles were synthesized, characterized and used for lysozyme (Ly) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption. SiO, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene were used for covering the readily synthesized magnetite nanoparticles to elucidate the effect of cover layer on the protein adsorption kinetics and capacities of nanostructure. XRD, FTIR, AFM, SEM, VSM and fluorescence measurements were used for the characterization of the samples and investigating the adsorption kinetics of Ly and BSA by these nanoparticles.

Selective heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of ketone (C═O) to alcohol (OH) by magnetite nanoparticles following Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic approach.

Magnetite nanoparticles were successfully synthesized and effectively employed as heterogeneous catalyst for hydrogenation of ketone moiety to alcohol moiety by NaBH4 under the microwave radiation process. The improvement was achieved in percent recovery of isopropyl alcohol by varying and optimizing reaction time, power of microwave radiations and amount of catalyst. The catalytic study revealed that acetone would be converted into isopropyl alcohol (IPA) with 99.
