Article Synopsis
  • - Glutathione (GSH) is essential for protecting cells from oxidative stress, and this study presents a new, highly sensitive fluorescence-based method using copper nanoclusters (BSA-CuNCs) to accurately detect GSH in human serum samples.
  • - The BSA-CuNCs show a strong fluorescent response when interacting with GSH, allowing for detection limits as low as 79 nM and an extensive range of measurements from 2.95 to 207 µM, outperforming existing detection methods.
  • - This novel method combines high selectivity, sensitivity, and biocompatibility, making it useful for early diagnosis of diseases linked to oxidative stress, with a straightforward approach that can be adapted for other

In this paper, the concentrations, origins, and carcinogenic potential of n-alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) collected from Shalateen sediments (Sh), Red Sea, Egypt were discussed. Individual n-alkanes has fluctuated from a minimum of 17.7 μg/g dw recorded for C-9 at Sh-54 to a maximum of 2.

Background: The success of epidural analgesia hinges on the precise insertion of the needle within the epidural space; failure rates have been reported to reach 32%.

Objectives: We report a new method using color Doppler to help verify the accurate location of the epidural needle tip.

Methods: This is a randomized prospective study.
