Flexible & lead-free gamma-ray-shielding composites were prepared using Vinyl Methyl Silicone (VMQ) matrix with Tungsten (W) and Titanium dioxide (TiO2) as fillers. The VMQ composites filled with 30 Phr (parts per hundred rubber) TiO2 and 0-70 Phr W were prepared by two-roll mill method. The dispersion of the filler particles in the composite matrix was analysed using Scanning Electron Microscope.

Here we present our experience of enteral lorazepam as an effective weaning substitute in midazolam-dependent patients.
Methods: This was a retrospective study based on a review of medical records of all FIRES patients who had received enteral lorazepam as a weaning substitute for midazolam, between January 2020 and July 2021.
Tuberculosis is a chronic communicable disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and spreads from lungs to lymphatic system. The cell wall of mycobacterium plays a prominent role in maintaining the virulence and pathogenicity and also acts as prime target for drug discovery. Hence, this study has put into emphasis with target MmpLs (Mycobacterial membrane proteins Large) which are significant for the growth and survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

- Recent advances in neonatology have led to varied impacts on the incidence and severity of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in preterm infants.
- A study analyzed 282 preterm infants to identify the incidence of ROP, finding an overall occurrence of 21.6% and severe cases at 6.7%.
- Key risk factors included low birthweight (<1250 g) and gestational age (31-32 weeks) for any ROP, while intraventricular hemorrhage was specifically linked to severe ROP cases.
