Artemisinin Stimulates Neuronal Cell Viability and Possess a Neuroprotective Effect In Vitro.

Artemisinin is a sesquiterpene lactone derived from the plant L., renowned for its antimalarial activity. Based on this compound, various derivatives and analogues have been obtained that exhibit diverse biological activities, including clinically approved drugs.

"Central retinal artery occlusion following scleral buckling surgery with gas insertion in a patient with sickle cell disease".

Purpose: To describe a case of central retinal artery occlusion following scleral buckling procedure combined with pneumoretinopexy in a patient with sickle cell (HbSC) retinopathy (SCR).

Methods: Scleral buckling procedure, combined with injection of 0.3 ml of 100% perfluoropropane (C3F8) gas in the vitreous, was performed without intra-operative complications under general anaesthesia as treatment of two separate macula-sparing rhegmatogenous retinal detachments secondary to round holes, involving superior and inferior retina respectively, in the right eye of a 26-year-old Afro-Caribbean female with sickle cell disease.

Effect of Natural Fiber and Biomass on Acoustic Performance of 3D Hybrid Fabric-Reinforced Composite Panels.

This research investigated the sound insulation performance of 3D woven hybrid fabric-reinforced composites using natural fibers, such as jute, along with E-glass and biomass derived from agro-waste, e.g., coffee husk and waste palm fiber.
