Neurological Complications of COVID-19 in Children.

Neurological complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are highly variable and can be quite severe, but they are rare in children. A careful understanding of the variety of presentations of neurological symptoms related to COVID-19 is critical for the effective management of these patients. Given the smaller numbers of children with these complications, a comprehensive review of neurological presentations in adults with COVID-19 may help facilitate the understanding of those complications that may present in children and how these presentations may be similar.

An Overview of Recent Advances in the Synthesis and Applications of the Transition Metal Carbide Nanomaterials.

Good stability and reproducibility are important factors in determining the place of any material in their respective field and these two factors also enable them to use in various applications. At present, transition metal carbides (TMCs) have high demand either in the two-dimensional (2D) form (MXene) or as nanocomposites, nanoparticles, carbide films, carbide nano-powder, and carbide nanofibers. They have shown good stability at high temperatures in different environments and also have the ability to show adequate reproducibility.

A novel TSC1 variant associated with tuberous sclerosis and sacrococcygeal teratoma.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disease associated with tumors and malformed tissues in the brain and other vital organs. We report a novel de novo frameshift variant of the TSC1 gene (c.434dup;p.

Simulation study for natural ventilation retrofitting techniques in educational classrooms - A case study.

Building retrofitting plays a critical role in achieving sustainable development and is an efficient way to improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) of existing spaces. The IAQ in classrooms has a significant impact on the health and academic achievement of students. However, improving the IAQ of existing classrooms is challenging if minimum architectural modifications are allowed.

Gender Differences in Patient-Reported Outcomes Among Adults With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease.

Background Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ( ASCVD ) accounts for approximately one third of deaths in women. Although there is an established relationship between positive patient experiences, health-related quality of life, and improved health outcomes, little is known about gender differences in patient-reported outcomes among ASCVD patients. We therefore compared gender differences in patient-centered outcomes among individuals with ASCVD .

Design and Parameter Study of Integrated Microfluidic Platform for CTC Isolation and Enquiry; A Numerical Approach.

Being the second cause of mortality across the globe, there is now a persistent effort to establish new cancer medication and therapies. Any accomplishment in treating cancers entails the existence of accurate identification systems empowering the early diagnosis. Recent studies indicate CTCs’ potential in cancer prognosis as well as therapy monitoring.

Anti-microbial activities of sulfonamides using disc diffusion method.

Sulfonamides, being the member of the oldest anti-microbial group of compounds possess wide anti-microbial activities and are effective against pathogenic strains of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. They are widely used in the treatment of various infectious diseases e.g.

N-[4-(Propyl-sulfamo-yl)phen-yl]acetamide.

In the title compound, C(11)H(16)N(2)O(3)S, the S atom has a distorted tetra-hedral geometry [maximum deviation: O-S-O = 119.48 (15)°]. The dihedral angles between the benzene ring and its propyl-sulfonamide and methyl-amide substituents are 71.

N-Benzyl-4-methyl-N-(4-methyl-phen-yl)benzene-sulfonamide.

In the title mol-ecule, C(21)H(21)NO(2)S, the phenyl ring makes the dihedral angles of 74.13 (11) and 80.16 (11)° with the two benzene rings, which are inclined at an angle of 43.

N-Ethyl-4-methyl-N-(3-methyl-phen-yl)benzene-sulfonamide.

The title compound, C(16)H(19)NO(2)S, crystallizes with two crystallographically independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit in which the dihedral angles between the planes defined by the aromatic rings are 35.3 (2) and 42.5 (2)°.

N-{4-[(2-Meth-oxy-phen-yl)sulfamo-yl]phen-yl}acetamide.

In the title compound, C(15)H(16)N(2)O(4)S, the S atom has a distorted tetra-hedral geometry [maximum deviation: O-S-O = 118.25 (7)°]. The two aromatic rings make a dihedral angle of 62.

Febrile status epilepticus: current state of clinical and basic research.

Febrile status epilepticus occurs in up to 5% of all cases of febrile seizures and has been linked to the development of focal epilepsy. This article reviews the clinical characteristics and treatment issues of febrile status. Controversy exists regarding the relationship of febrile status epilepticus to the subsequent development of epilepsy.

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis in children and adolescents.

Objective: To report the clinical features of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis in patients < or = 18 years old.

Methods: Information was obtained by the authors or referring physicians. Antibodies were determined by immunocytochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using HEK293 cells ectopically expressing NR1.
