Evaluation of electrodeposition synthesis of gold nanodendrite on screen-printed carbon electrode for nonenzymatic ascorbic acid sensor.

Gold nanodendrite (AuND) is a type of gold nanoparticles with dendritic or branching structures that offers advantages such as large surface area and high conductivity to improve electrocatalytic performance of electrochemical sensors. AuND structures can be synthesized using electrodeposition method utilizing cysteine as growth directing agent. This method can simultaneously synthesize and integrate the gold nanostructures on the surface of the electrode.

The Effect of Citicoline on Ethambutol Optic Neuropathy: Histopathology and Immunohistochemistry Analysis of Retina Ganglion Cell Damage Level in Rat Model.

Ethambutol therapy in certain doses and period can cause bilateral ocular intoxication. There is no definitive therapy that has been found to prevent damage to retina neuronal cells in ethambutol optic neuropathy (EON) cases. Citicoline is thought to have a potential effect to maintain retinal neuron cells.

Type 1 diabetes associated with asymptomatic acromegaly successfully treated with surgery after pregnancy: a case report.

We report a rare case of type 1 diabetes in a woman associated with acromegaly who was treated with surgery after pregnancy. An 18-year-old woman came to our hospital in April, 1998, complaining of thirst, polydipsia, polyuria, appetite loss, body weight loss of 8 kg in a month, and amenorrhea beginning 2 months earlier.
