Article Synopsis
  • Computational studies using Density Functional Theory suggest that stable borylenes, which are mono Lewis base-stabilized, can effectively bind to transition metal complexes like iron (Fe) and nickel (Ni).* -
  • This binding enhances the Lewis basicity of the metal centers, leading to the creation of distinct metal-only Lewis pairs (MOLPs) involving complexes like [L(CO)Fe → GaCl] and [L(CO)Ni → GaCl], where L represents electron donating ligands.* -
  • The research further explores the interactions between different ligands and the metals, utilizing advanced analytical methods such as QTAIM and EDA-NOCV.*

Article Synopsis
  • Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is rare in children, and there's limited research on juvenile-onset MCTD (jMCTD), particularly in Southeast Asia.
  • A study involving eleven pediatric rheumatology centers in India analyzed clinical and laboratory data from 31 jMCTD patients, revealing common symptoms like arthritis, malar rash, and Raynaud's phenomenon.
  • The findings highlight the need for better understanding and management of jMCTD in children, with 45% of patients in remission after an average follow-up of 43 months.

Myocarditis is considered a fatal form of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in suckling calves. In the present study, a total of 17 calves under 4 months of age and suspected clinically for FMD were examined for clinical lesions, respiratory rate, heart rate, and heart rhythm. Lesion samples, saliva, nasal swabs, and whole blood were collected from suspected calves and subjected to Sandwich ELISA and reverse transcription multiplex polymerase chain reaction (RT-mPCR) for detection and serotyping of FMD virus (FMDV).

Background: Antibiotics are frequently utilized in livestock, particularly poultry, for therapy and growth promotion, resulting in antimicrobial resistance. Multidrug-resistant bacteria are frequent in poultry samples from India. The purpose of this study was to better understand main antibiotic consumption patterns in poultry value chains, as well as antibiotic knowledge and practices among the stakeholders.
