Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare choroidal thickness (CT) among three groups: pre-eclamptic females, healthy pregnant females, and healthy non-pregnant females using a specialized imaging technique called spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
- Researchers found that the pre-eclamptic group had significantly thinner choroidal thickness compared to both healthy groups, but there was no significant relationship between subfoveal CT and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in pre-eclamptic patients.
- The results suggest that the thinning of choroid in pre-eclampsia may result from multiple factors such as vasospasm and endothelial dysfunction, rather than just being linked to blood pressure levels.
Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) pollution poses a serious threat to public health and the environment because of its respiratory and neurological effects, carcinogenic properties, and adverse effects on air quality. BTEX exposure is a matter of grave concern in India owing to the growing vehicular and development activities, necessitating the assessment of atmospheric concentrations and their spatial variation. This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of ambient concentrations and spatiotemporal variations of BTEX in India.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 15 patients (aged: 4-28 years) of large A-pattern exotropia. An A-pattern was defined as >10 PD difference between up and down gaze at 6 m by use of the alternate prism cover test.
As one of the seldom explored systems, molybdenum-based metal-organic frameworks (Mo-MOFs) with different ligands such as terephthalic acid (Mo-TA), 2-aminoterephthalic acid (Mo-ATA), benzenetricarboxylic acid (Mo-BTC), 2-methylimidazole (Mo-2MI), 2-bipyridine (Mo-2bpy), and 4-bipyridine (Mo-4bpy) were developed in this study. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, and attenuated total reflectance-infrared (ATR-IR) analyses confirmed the ligand-dependent crystal structure of the Mo-MOFs along with the characteristic functional groups present in the respective systems. Interestingly, the morphology of all of these the developed Mo-MOFs was found to be a one-dimensional rod-like structure, which was attributed to the binding nature of the ligands onto the growing Mo-frameworks.
