Non-invasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation versus non-invasive intermittent mandatory ventilation as a rescue mode in preterm infants with respiratory distress on nasal CPAP-a randomized control trial.

Unlabelled: To compare NHFOV in decreasing the need for mechanical ventilation in the first 7 days of randomization in preterm infants born before 34 weeks of gestational age having nCPAP failure when used as rescue mode compared to NIMV. All eligible neonates were randomized and allocated to either NHFOV or NIMV group after taking the consent from the parents. Standardized protocol was followed on initiation, titration, weaning, and optimization of all the respiratory supports.

Nanoscale Effects in the Room-Temperature UV-Visible Photoluminescence from Silica Particles and Its Cancer Cell Imaging.

Silica nano/microparticles have generated significant interest for the past decades, emerging as a versatile material with a wide range of applications in photonic crystals, bioimaging, chemical sensors, and catalysis. This study focused on synthesizing silica nano/microparticles ranging from 20 nm to 1.2 μm using the Stöber and modified Stöber methods.

A new species and a new record of the genus Scirtothrips (Thysanoptera, Thripidae) from India.

Scirtothrips lami sp. nov., is described from the leaves of an unidentified weed.

Low-temperature Co-precipitation Synthesis of ZnAlO Nanophosphors Probing its Luminescent, Antibacterial and Anticancer Potentials.

Metal nanoparticles and their binary oxides are well-known for their interactions with biomolecules and their applications in the biomedical field. However, the potential of ternary oxide nanophosphors remains underexplored in these fields due to challenges associated with high-temperature synthesis procedures and the use of toxic chemicals. ZnAlO, a ternary oxide matrix, being recognized for its adjustable wide bandgap, impressive surface properties, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and high quantum yield, is chosen for the present work.

A new species of the genus Scirtothrips (Thysanoptera, Thripidae) from India.

A new species of Scirtothrips is described from India, S. donumdei, collected on leaves of Senegalia pennata (Fabaceae). Partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (mtCOI) gene sequence of the species was sequenced and the annotated sequence was submitted to NCBI GenBank.
