Latent fingerprint imaging is a crucial tool for national security and crime recognition, requiring environmentally sustainable, nontoxic materials. To address this need, we have developed a green fluorescence-emitting material, THCHO, that binds effectively to latent fingerprints, enabling clear, high-resolution visualization. The solution produces strong green fluorescence that highlights fingerprint imprints with exceptional detail and contrast.

A cobalt(III) complex, [Co(L)]Cl (complex , where L = 1,8-[,-bis{(3-formyl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl)benzyl}]-1,4,8,11-tetraaza-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethylcyclotetradecane) with distorted octahedral geometry has been synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. The structure of the ligand has remarkably rich hydrogen intermolecular interactions such as H···H, H···C/C···H, and H···O/O···H that vary with the presence of the metal ion, and the structure of complex has Cl···H interactions; this result has been proved by Hirshfeld surface and two-dimensional (2D) fingerprint maps analyses. The complex exhibits a quasi-reversible Co(III)/Co(II) redox couple with = -0.

The microbial fuel cell is a unique advantageous technology for the scientific community with the simultaneous generation of green energy along with bioelectroremediation of persistent hazardous materials. In this work, a novel approach of integrated system with bioelectricity generation from septic tank wastewater by native microflora in the anode chamber, while Psathyrella candolleana with higher ligninolytic enzyme activity was employed at cathode chamber for the biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Six MFC systems designated as MFC1, MFC2, MFC3, MFC4, MFC5, and MFC6 were experimented with different conditions.

We report on the synthesis and characterization of trans N, N'-di-substituted macrocyclic "tet a" probe (L) for metal ion sensing. Both the colorimetric and fluorescent titration studies are performed with different metal ions. The results have suggested that the probe L is very selective and sensitive towards Zn ions with significant changes in color.

A mono-N-substituted probe L containing a bromosalicylaldehyde pendant arm attached to a tetraazamacrocyclic "tet a" moiety was synthesized via straight forward reaction. The probe L crystallizes in a monoclinic P2/n space group. The probe L displayed quick sensitivity and selectivity towards Hg ions due to its hopeful Chelation Enhancement Quenching (CHEQ) feature.

A 32-year-old woman was diagnosed HIV positive with disseminated cryptococcal infection in May 2006. Her initial CD4 was 7 cells/µL and she had a right supraclavicular nodal mass, which was biopsied and shown to be consistent with cryptococcal lymphadenitis. She was treated for disseminated cryptococcal infection and was started on antiretroviral medications subsequently.

We introduced a Nurse/Health Advisor-led fast-track service for treating patients diagnosed with chlamydia outside a genitourinary medicine setting and contacts of chlamydia/non-specific urethritis/cervicitis wherever diagnosed. Asymptomatic patients were treated without initial testing and asked to return for full screening at four to six weeks. We assessed the efficacy and safety of the system and need for follow-up after treatment.
