Impact of Paternal Depression on Child Neurodevelopmental Outcomes and Disorders.

To explore paternal depression (before, during, and after pregnancy) and its association with neurodevelopmental disorders in children. A systematic, English-language review was conducted in PubMed, PubMed Central, MEDLINE, Web of Science, BIOSIS Previews, and SciELO. All relevant literature published from inception to March 31, 2021, was included.

Improvement of quantum efficiency through Gd to Eu energy transfer in YF phosphor.

This paper reports the energy transfer from Gd to Eu in YF and the consequent downconversion luminescence for the YF :Gd , Eu fluoride phosphor. The phosphor was synthesized using a soft chemical route, followed by a reactive atmosphere process. Because of the wide band gap in YF and the correct energy site for S - G transitions of Gd ions, fluoride YF doped with Gd -Eu were studied in their vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) spectral regions.

Role of 4-hydroxynonenal in chemopreventive activities of sulforaphane.

Chemoprevention of cancer via herbal and dietary supplements is a logical approach to combating cancer and currently it is an attractive area of research investigation. Over the years, isothiocyanates, such as sulforaphane (SFN) found in cruciferous vegetables, have been advocated as chemopreventive agents, and their efficacy has been demonstrated in cell lines and animal models. In vivo studies with SFN suggest that in addition to protecting normal healthy cells from environmental carcinogens, it also exhibits cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects against various cancer cell types.
