In this work, a facile and rapid fluorescence turn-off-on sensing method was developed for the detection of Pb and metalaxyl fungicide in environmental samples using yellow carbon dots (CDs) from Cordia dichotoma fruits. The prepared C. dichotoma-CDs showed the emission band (𝜆) at 535 nm under 448 nm of excitation wavelength.

The treatment of these complications is multivariate and can differ from conservative, symptomatic treatment or minimal-invasive, endoscopic transgastral stenting to transgastral necrosectomy.
Objectives: This study aims to analyse the clinical course for patients that develop local complications of severe pancreatitis.

The electrospun nanofiber membrane has demonstrated great potential for wound management due to its porous structure, large surface area, mechanical strength, and barrier properties. However, there is a need to develop transparent bioactive nanofibers with strong mechanical properties to facilitate the monitoring of the healing process. In this study, we present an electrospinning-based method for creating transparent (∼80-90%), strong (∼11-13 MPa), and Janus nanofiber membranes.

L-thyroxine serves as a primary biomarker for diagnosing hypothyroidism and it is also utilized in hormone replacement therapy. Regular assessment of thyroxine levels is crucial for preventing health issues in hypothyroid patients, suggesting the requirement of a facile analytical tool for the detection of L-thyroxine. In this work, a straightforward and efficient synthetic method is introduced for in-situ preparation of Mn-doped boron quantum dots (Mn@B-QDs) derived from boron powder through a solvothermal reaction.
