Statin Consumption and Appealing Colors: Exploring Statin-Related Injuries for Children Under the Age of Three Years.

Introduction: Statins are frequently prescribed to lower the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular-related diseases. While statins are considered safe, there are occasional accidental overdoses in children that warrant concern for how to protect children from unintended consumption. We aimed to determine which statins were more prone to injury, characterize the injury types commonly seen for each statin, assess the age at which statin-related injuries were most frequent, and compare statin-related injuries among genders.

Dithiin diisoimides: Synthesis and their antimicrobial studies.

Sixteen derivatives of dithiin diisoimide 2a-2p have been synthesized and screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity. Compounds 2a-2g and 2i-2p are almost same or more active than gentamicine against Acinetobacter. Whereby compound 2,6-didodecyl-H,5H-pyrrolo[3',4',5,6][1,4]dithiino[2,3-c]pyrrole-1,3,5,7(2H,6H)-tetrone (2d) having zone of inhibition 20 mm against Acinetobacter is the most potent among all these compounds and can be used as lead compound for the treatment of Acinetobacter infection.
