Multifaceted properties of Ni and Zn codoped MgO nanoparticles.

Recent advancements in material science have aimed to create novel nanomaterials with unique properties and potential applications across diverse domains. By deciphering the complexities of the versatile nanomaterial, MgO, the study aims to deepen our comprehension of the synergistic effects induced by dual doping in MgO, thus propelling the advancement of innovative technologies and materials with broad applications. The present investigation employed a facile chemical precipitation and coprecipitation approach to synthesize pure MgO and Ni, Zn dual doped MgO, varying Ni concentration ranging between 2% and 10% and maintaining a constant Zn concentration at 20%.

Sulphanilamide degradation by undoped and copper doped ZnO, and ferromagnetic properties of fresh, aged, and heat-treated aged ZnO.

This work looks into how well Cu-doped zinc oxide works as a photocatalyst when exposed to visible light to break down sulphanilamide. The synthesized samples were characterized by XRD and then FTIR techniques for structural besides compositional analysis. The approximate value of bandgap found out by NBE values of PL spectra showed a decrease in bandgap with doping.

Novel mutations causing hyperimmunoglobulin D and periodic fever syndrome.

Hyperimmunoglobulin D and periodic fever syndrome (HIDS) is a rare, hereditary autoinflammatory condition characterized by recurrent inflammatory episodes. We report a 9-year-old boy, diagnosed with HIDS due to two novel mutations, c.62C>T (p.

Global HIV-1 molecular epidemiology with special reference to genetic analysis of HIV-1 subtypes circulating in North India: functional and pathogenic implications of genetic variation.

HIV-1 displays extensive genetic diversity globally which poses challenge in designing a suitable antigen/immunogen to provoke desired protective immune response in host. HIV-1 mediated pathogenesis is complex and involves host genes, virus genes and other factors. A number of genetic subtypes have been identified based on sequence variations, largely in envelope region.

Agallochins J-L, new isopimarane diterpenoids from Excoecaria agallocha L.

The ethyl acetate extract of Excoecaria agallocha L. furnished three more new isopimarane diterpenoids, 11alpha,14alpha-dihydroxy-7,15-isopimaradien-3-one, agallochin J (1), 3alpha, 1alpha,14alpha-trihydroxyisopimara-7,15-diene, agallochin K (2) and 6alpha,14alpha,17-trihydroxy-7,15-isopimaradien-3-one, agallochin L.

ent-Kaurane and beyerane diterpenoids from Excoecaria agallocha.

The roots of Excoecaria agallocha yielded four new diterpenoids, ent-3 beta,20-epoxy-3 alpha,6 alpha-dihydroxykaur-16-ene (agallochin F) (1), 3beta,20-epoxy-3 alpha-hydroxybeyer-15-ene (agallochin G) (2), 3 beta,20:15R,16S-diepoxy-3 alpha-beyeranol (agallochin H) (3), and 3 beta,20-epoxy-3 alpha,6 alpha-dihydroxy-18-nor-beyer-15-ene (agallochin I) (4), along with three known derivatives, 2-acetoxy-1,15-beyeradiene-3,12-dione (5), 2-hydroxy-1,15-beyeradiene-3,12-dione (6), and ent-kauran-16 beta-ol-3-one. The structures of 1-4 were determined by spectroscopic (NMR and MS) data interpretation.

Spectrophotometric methods for the determination of prazosin hydrochloride in tablets.

Four simple and sensitive methods for the assay of prazosin hydrochloride (PRH) are developed. These methods are based on the formation of coloured species by treating it either with excess N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and determining the unconsumed NBS with p-N-methyl aminophenol sulphate (metol)-sulphanilamide (SA) reagent (method A, lambda(max) 520 nm): with 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride (MBTH) in the presence of eerie ammonium sulphate (CAS) (method B, lambda(max) 620 nm) or with acidic dyes such as orange-II (O-II) (method C, lambda(max) 490 nm) and alizarin violet 3B (AV-3B) (method D, lambda(max) 570 nm) under the specified experimental conditions. Regression analysis of Beer's law plot showed good correlation in the concentration range of 1.

Giant calculus in anterior urethral diverticulum.

The case of probably the largest stone in a giant anterior urethral diverticulum presenting with septicemia and renal failure is reported. Stage surgical reconstruction had an excellent result.

Manifest anxiety in bronchial asthma.

Using a vernacular adaptation of MAS 50 bronchial asthma patients were compared with 102 normals, 60 hospital general out-patients and 50 neurotics to determine the level of anxiety in asthma. The manifest anxiety scores of the bronchial asthma patients were found to be significantly high showing that their level of anxiety was abnormally higher in comparison with that of the normals and the hospital general out-patients. The bronchial asthmatics and the neurotics did not differ in anxiety.
