Outcomes of holmium: YAG laser vs. Thulium fiber laser for ureteric stones during ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy - a prospective, randomized single-centre study.

Introduction: The use of lasers has created a major impact in the management of stones. The aim of our study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness and safety profile of Thulium fiber laser (TFL) and Holmium: YAG (Ho: YAG) laser in ureteric stones.

Methods: It is a prospective randomized single-centre study carried out from December 2022 to December 2023.

Advances in the Synthetic Utility of Difluorocarbene Generated from TMSCF (Ruppert-Prakash Reagent) and Its Derivatives.

Organofluorine compounds are of pivotal significance particularly, in drug and agrochemical industries and different strategies have been designed for their synthesis. The last two decades witnessed the emergence of difluorocarbene as an efficient synthetic tool, providing easy access to organofluorine compounds. This review summarises the reactions of difluorocarbene generated from Ruppert-Prakash reagent (TMSCF) and its derivatives TMSCFCl and TMSCFBr.

Trace metal contamination in core sediments of Pandharabodi Lake, Central India: eco-environmental implications.

Freshwater lakes in central India like Pandharabodi Lake (PBL), face escalating environmental pressures due to anthropogenic activities, threatening their ecological conditions. Despite growing concerns, systematic investigations on trace metal pollution in the PBL sediments are so far not done, hindering effective conservation strategies. The present study aims to evaluate temporal distribution, enrichment, and potential eco-environmental risks of 14 trace metals (Al, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, Co, U, V, Rb, Th, and Sc) in the PBL core sediments.

Isolation, identification and bioprospecting potential of Bacillus subtilis, endophytic bacterium from Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (L.) Lam. ex Savigny.

Mangroves are crucial for supporting coastal communities, benefiting both humans and animals. Their intricate root systems grasp the soil, mitigating erosion and dampening wave impact. As a result, they shield and fortify shorelines that would otherwise erode.
