Live Cell Imaging Studies on Orange Emitting Thiazole-Pyridone Azo Fluorophore and Its Latent Fingerprints, Computational, Electrochemical Sensing for Dopamine Detection.

The fluorescent materials have sparked a lot of research interests due to their unique electronic, optical and chemical characteristics. Here, we are intended to present a simple and facile synthesis of novel orange emitting thiazole-pyridone fluorescent tag (TPFT) by a simple diazo coupling reaction and the structural elucidation was carried out by IR, NMR (H and C), UV-Vis, photoluminescence and HR-MS spectrometry. The solvatochromic behaviour of the TPFT offered crucial information about the formation of hydrazone and azo tautomeric forms.

Optimizing the Diagnosis of Microcytic Hypochromic Anemia: A Comparative Evaluation of Erythrocyte and Reticulocyte Parameters.

Background Anemia is a widespread, worldwide hematological disorder, with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and thalassemia trait (TT) being two frequently encountered forms. For effective management, it is vital to distinguish between these two conditions. Existing diagnostic methods have some limitations due to their inaccessibility and high cost.

Neuroectodermal influence in odontogenic cyst and tumor: evidence through CD56 immunoexpression.

Background And Objectives: CD56, associated with neuroectodermal differentiation of the embryonal cells, is often considered a marker of neural lineage. Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are of particular interest because of their characteristic histopathologic features, high recurrence rate, and aggressive behavior. CD56 immunoreactivity in these lesions has been reported with very high frequency.

Evaluation of acute intravenous toxicity of HEPES: Is Good's buffer good and safe enough for clinical utilization in nuclear medicine?

Objective: Good's buffer or HEPES has advantages over other buffers commonly used in radiopharmaceutical preparation as it exhibits significantly lower complexation tendency with metal ions. However, use of HEPES buffer for radiolabeling reactions, meant for clinical applications, has been underrated due to the non-availability of sufficient toxicity data. The objective of the present study is to find the evidences towards safety of intravenous administration of HEPES through systemic toxicological studies in small animal model to support its safe application for clinical exploitation.

Simultaneous quantification of 4-hydroxytamoxifen and hesperidin in liposomal formulations: Development and validation of a RP-HPLC method.

Breast cancer treatment options are diverse, with tamoxifen commonly used as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. However, tamoxifen can have adverse systemic effects. Local transdermal therapy offers a potential solution by delivering the drug directly to the breast and minimizing systemic exposure.

Knowledge and Perception about Dental Implant and Its Complications among Dental and Medical Students-A Comparative Observational Survey.

Introduction: As dental implants become more widely used, there is a need to raise awareness about their potential complications. Professionals in the dental and medical fields must take responsibility for educating the public, and future professionals in these fields will play a key role in this effort.

Methodology: Dental and medical students were polled through online questionnaire, with questions posed in multiple-choice format, to gauge their knowledge of dental implants.

Histopathological prognosticators and their clinicopathological correlation in oral squamous cell carcinomas of the tongue.

Background: Tongue carcinomas account for 25%-40% of intraoral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs). Although TNM staging systems is an international standard for cancer reporting, prognosis evaluation, and treatment planning, multiple histopathological risk assessment predictors such as tumor thickness (TT), tumor shape, tumor growth pattern, and invasive malignancy grading scoring systems have been studied and should form a basis for prediction and prognostication of such aggressive carcinomas.

Aim: To evaluate and characterize the histomorphological prognostic indicators in OSCCs of tongue and compare it with OSCCs of other anatomic sites within the oral cavity.

Central Hypoventilation Following Pontomedullary Tumor Decompression - Is Routine Brainstem Monitoring Adequate?

Neurophysiological monitoring assesses the functional integrity of the brainstem by using monitoring and mapping techniques. We report an operated case of a pontomedullary lesion in a patient who developed central hypoventilation postoperatively. The intraoperative use of neurophysiological and cardiovascular monitoring was unable to predict/prevent this hypoventilation.

Persistent Hiccups in Posterior Circulation Stroke as Rare Presentation of Pulmonary Embolism-Don't Jump the Gun.

Reliability of Pre-Induction Inferior Vena Cava Assessment with Ultrasound for the Prediction of Post-Induction Hypotension in Neurosurgical Patients Undergoing Intracranial Surgery.

Background: Hypotension is one of the most common complications following induction of general anesthesia. Preemptive diagnosis and correcting the hypovolemic status can reduce the incidence of post-induction hypotension. However, an association between preoperative volume status and severity of post-induction hypotension has not been established in neurosurgical patients.

Simvastatin in polymer bioscaffold for bone regeneration. An in vitro and in vivo analysis.

Objective: The study aimed to fabricate and test the biocompatibility of a polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) based guided tissue regeneration membrane impregnated with 'simvastatin' to promote sustained drug delivery near osseous defects and evaluate the regenerative potential of the membrane histologically.

Materials And Methods: We tested the mechanical properties and cytotoxicity of an indigenously fabricated PLGA membrane incorporated with simvastatin (1 mg/cm2). An animal study evaluated the regenerative potential of the membrane.

Serological and psychological assessment of patients with oral lichen planus using serum cortisol levels and hads questionnaire-a case control study.

In vivo anti-tumour activity of novel Quinazoline derivatives.

Objective: The two scaffold Quinazoline analogues (Compound 21, NSC: 95112/753439 and Compound 12, NSC: D-104834/ 758270) in three different concentrations were evaluated for their anti-tumor activity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) and two different concentration were evaluated for their anti-tumor activity against Dalton's ascites lymphoma (DLA) bearing Swiss albino mice.

Materials And Methods: The in vivo anti-tumor potency of Quinazoline bases was assessed in EAC model by measuring the increase in mean survival time of the drug treated over untreated control mice and treated standard (Gefitinib) mice. Their toxicity was assessed in vivo in normal, standard, and EAC-bearing mice by measuring the drug-induced changes in haematological parameters.

Esmolol hydrochloride, an important anti-hypertensive and anti-arrhythmic agent, is administered as intravenous infusion only. The objective of the present work is to screen the feasibility of this drug for transdermal delivery. To enhance the lipophilicity, a pro-drug approach was adopted.

Packing in three cyclooctitol acetates.

Three cyclooctitol derivatives, in the form of a tetraacetate, (1S*,2R*,3S*,4S*)-2,3,4-triacetoxycyclooctan-1-ylmethyl acetate, C17H26O8, and two regioisomeric acetonide triacetates, (3aS*,4R*,8S*,9S*,9aS*)-8,9-diacetoxy-2,2-dimethylcyclooctano[d][1,3]dioxan-4-ymethyl acetate and (3aS,4R,7S,9R,9aS)-7,9-diacetoxy-2,2-dimethylcyclooctano[d][1,3]dioxan-4-ylmethyl acetate, both C18H28O8, have been studied. The conformation of the cyclooctane ring in the three compounds is quite close to the boat-chair form of the parent hydrocarbon. Packing is effected through weak C-H.
