The synthesis and characterizations of two new complexes, [Sm(btfa)Cl-terp] (SmCHFONCl) and [Eu(btfa)Cl-terp] (EuCHFONCl) were done successfully. The complexes have nona-coordinate Sm and Eu centres coordinated to six oxygen atoms of benzoyltrifluoro acetone (btfa) and three nitrogen atoms of chloro-terpyridine (Cl-terp). The ground state geometry of both complexes was optimized using the sparkle model and the shape analysis was carried out using SHAPE v2.

Background And Aims: Intravenous (IV) lignocaine is often used to prevent the airway response to extubation, especially in children to prevent respiratory adverse events. It is known to prolong the duration of action of neuromuscular blocking drugs, but data in children are limited. The primary objective of this study was to compare neuromuscular recovery time with IV lignocaine versus fentanyl, in pediatric patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia (GA).

Aim: The aim of this study was to study the urethral plate and glans configuration in experimentally created hypospadias in male human cadavers and its comparison with hypospadias patients planned for tubularized incised plate (TIP) urethroplasty.

Materials And Methods: In five fresh human cadavers, hypospadias was created by placing one blade of scissors in the urethra and the other onto the ventral median raphe and cutting through the skin, penile dartos, and urethra and laying open urethral edges were sutured to edges of penile skin to create hypospadias. Urethral plate characteristics were recorded using Likert scale and the glans groove using the Plate Objective Scoring Tool (POST).

Aims: Paediatric triplane fractures and adult trimalleolar ankle fractures both arise from a supination external rotation injury. By relating the experience of adult to paediatric fractures, clarification has been sought on the sequence of injury, ligament involvement, and fracture pattern of triplane fractures. This study explores the similarities between triplane and trimalleolar fractures for each stage of the Lauge-Hansen classification, with the aim of aiding reduction and fixation techniques.

This article describes the molecular mechanism by which tetraalkylammonium chloride ([RN]Cl: R- = methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), propyl (Pr),butyl (Bu)) modulates the stability, folding, and dynamics of cytochrome c (Cyt c). Analysis of [RN]Cl effects on thermal/chemical denaturations, millisecond refolding/unfolding kinetics, and slow CO-association kinetics of Cyt c without and with denaturant providing some significant results: (i) [RN]Cl decreasing the unfolding free energy estimated by thermodynamic and kinetic analysis of thermal/chemical denaturation curves and kinetic chevrons (Log k-[GdmCl]) of Cyt c, respectively (ii) hydrophobicity of R-group of [RN]Cl, preferential inclusion of [RN]Cl at the protein surface, and destabilizing enthalpic attractive interactions of [MeN]Cl and steric entropic interactions of [EtN]Cl,[PrN]Cl and [BuN]Cl with protein contribute to [RN]Cl-induced decrease thermodynamic stability of Cyt c (iii) [RN]Cl exhibits an additive effect with denaturant to decrease thermodynamic stability and refolding rates of Cyt c (iv) low concentrations of [RN]Cl (≤ 0.5 M) constrain the motional dynamics while the higher concentrations (>0.

Metal hexacyanoferrates (MHCF) are a class of inorganic adsorbents used for wastewater management due to the presence of interstitial sites for capturing heavy metal ions. In present work, we are reporting the synthesis of magnetic nanocomposite of FeO/graphene oxide/potassium copper hexacyanoferrate via wet chemical and coprecipitation approach. Potassium copper hexacyanoferrate (KCuHCF) and Graphene oxide (GO) both are marvelous adsorbents but their nano-size becomes a major obstacle in their separation process after the adsorption of the radionuclides.

Microorganisms have become more resistant to pesticides, which increases their ability to invade and infect crops resulting in decreased crop productivity. The rhizosphere plays a crucial role in protecting plants from harmful invaders. The purpose of the study was to investigate the antagonistic efficiency of indigenous rhizospheric fungal isolates against phytopathogens of M.

Article Synopsis
  • Apple is a highly sought-after fruit crop, leading to an increased demand for high-quality planting materials, which can be effectively produced through in-vitro propagation methods.
  • This study established a successful propagation protocol for the apple rootstock MM 104 using axillary buds, yielding impressive results such as 100% shoot multiplication and an average of 9.8 shoots per explant.
  • Additionally, the research confirmed the genetic stability of the in-vitro grown plants using DNA profiling techniques, showing they closely resemble the original mother plant.

Background: In recent years, medical thoracoscopy has been well established to play an important role in undiagnosed pleural effusion; however, this procedure is underutilized due to limited availability of the instruments it requires. This study analysed the outcome of single port rigid thoracoscopy in patients with undiagnosed pleural effusions.

Methods: This study retrospectively analysed the outcomes of all patients with undiagnosed pleural effusion presenting to our centre between 2016 to 2020 who underwent single port rigid medical thoracoscopy as a diagnostic procedure.

Case: A 15-year-old girl known with osteogenesis imperfecta presented with left femoral pain. She had been treated with multiple Fassier-Duval intramedullary nails, which were still in situ. Radiographic imaging demonstrated focal osteolysis and periosteal reaction at the telescopic junction of the rod in the distal femur.

Introduction: In hydronephrosis due to pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJO), an obstruction to urine flow may lead to increased pelvic pressure, which may cause interstitial fibrosis and renal impairment. Recently, there have been reports on renal pelvic assessment using ultrasound elastography (USE). This study was conducted to see if USE can evaluate PUJO and if it can be correlated to the findings of the dynamic renal nuclear scan.

Case: We present a case of acute unstable valgus slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in an 8-year-old female who presented after a trip and fall. The patient was managed with emergent closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation and prophylactic fixation of contralateral side after 6 weeks. At 18-month follow-up, the patient was symptom free with a good range of movement and no evidence of slip progression, chondrolysis or avascular necrosis of the femoral head.

Aims: Triplane ankle fractures are complex injuries typically occurring in children aged between 12 and 15 years. Classic teaching that closure of the physis dictates the overall fracture pattern, based on studies in the 1960s, has not been challenged. The aim of this paper is to analyze whether these injuries correlate with the advancing closure of the physis with age.

Septage refers to the semi-liquid waste material that accumulates in septic tanks and other onsite sanitation systems. It is composed of a complex mixture of human excreta, wastewater, and various solid particles. Septage is a potential source of water pollution owing to presence of high organic content, significant pathogen concentrations, and a range of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus.

The Western Himalayas offer diverse environments for investigating the diversity and distribution of microbial communities and their response to both the abiotic and biotic factors across the entire altitudinal gradient. Such investigations contribute significantly to our understanding of the complex ecological processes that shape microbial diversity. The proposed study focuses on the investigation of the bacterial and fungal communities in the forest and alpine grasslands of the Western Himalayan region, as well as their relationship with the physicochemical parameters of soil.

The presence of small amount of soluble forms of Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K) and Zinc (Zn) in most soils is one of the limiting factors for agronomic crop production. The current study focuses on Macrotyloma uniflorum (horse gram or gahat), the most commonly cultivated crop in Uttarakhand. The current initiative and study were started, because there is a little information available on the impact of co-inoculation of beneficial fungi on crops in agricultural fields.
