Difluorination at Boron Leads to the First Electrophilic Ligated Boryl Radical (NHC-BF ).

1,3-Dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene difluoroborane (NHC-BF H) was prepared in a one-pot, two-step reaction from the parent ligated borane (NHC-BH ). The derived difluoroboryl radical (NHC-BF ) was generated by laser flash photolysis experiments and characterized by UV spectroscopy and rate-constant measurements. It is transient and reacts quickly with O .

Surveillance data on the level of resistant bacteria is needed to inform strategies to reduce the development and spread of antibiotic resistance. The aim of this study was to determine the non-susceptibility trends to extended-spectrum cephalosporins and carbapenems among and spp. isolates from the district of Nashik in Western India during the period 2004-2014.

High Proportions of Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter spp. Isolates in a District in Western India: A Four-Year Antibiotic Susceptibility Study of Clinical Isolates.

The purpose of the study was to determine the proportions of multidrug-resistant (MDR) spp. isolates from the district of Nashik in Western India during the period from 2011-2014. Antibacterial susceptibility testing of isolates from inpatients and outpatients was performed using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method to determine inhibitory zone diameters.

Impact of Integrated Watershed Management on Complex Interlinked Factors Influencing Health: Perceptions of Professional Stakeholders in a Hilly Tribal Area of India.

Lack of access to water has a significant impact on the health of people in tribal areas, where water in households as well as for productive purposes is essential for life. In resource-limited settings such as hilly tribal areas, implementation of an integrated watershed management programme (IWMP) can have a significant impact on public health by providing a solution to water scarcity and related problems. The professional stakeholders in rural healthcare and development administration are important pillars of the system that implements various programmes and policies of government and non-government organizations, and act as facilitators for the improvement of public health in tribal areas.
