In this study, we report the synthesis, optical characterization and ultra-sensitive ammonia gas sensing properties of Mg-doped ZnO cauliflower like nanostructures obtained via chemical spray pyrolysis technique. The morphological and structural properties of the prepared films were investigated by Field Emission Scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Gas sensing and optical characterizations were carried out using Keithley electrometer and Uv-Vis.

- The text discusses a new method for activating distal C-H bonds to create benzofulvenes, which are compounds formed through a [3 + 2] reaction involving palladium catalysis, overcoming traditional bond activation challenges.
- This innovative approach involves concurrent activation of both β-C(benzylic)-H and δ-C(aryl)-H bonds and leads to the formation of novel chemical entities with promising anticancer properties.
- In studies, these new compounds were found to effectively target oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) by arresting the cell cycle at the S-phase and activating various apoptosis pathways, indicating their potential as effective chemotherapy options.
Objectives: Breast cancer is among the most heterogeneous and aggressive diseases and a foremost cause of death in women globally. Hypoxic activation of HIF-1α in breast cancers triggers the transcription of a battery of genes encoding proteins that facilitate tumor growth and metastasis and is correlated with a poor prognosis. Based on the reported cytotoxic and anti-cancer properties of (), this study explores the inhibitory effect of bioactive compounds from and breast cancer target proteins HIF-1α, VEGF, and GLUT-1 .

This root canal therapy (RCT) aimed to assess and compare patient outcomes between teeth treated with traditional RCT and pulpotomy.
Materials And Methods: In this single-center RCT, a total of 120 patients presenting with symptomatic dental pulp infections were randomly assigned to either the RCT group or the pulpotomy group.
