In the present study, the mixed micellization behavior of gemini surfactant-1, 5-bis (N-hexadecyl- N, N-dimethylammonium) pentane dibromide (G5) with non-ionic surfactant triton X-100 (TX-100) was investigated in the micellar phase by utilizing the conductometric technique. The deviation of ideal critical micelle concentration (cmc*) from experimental critical micelle concentration (cmc) has been estimated using well-known Clint's theory of mixed micelles. The regular solution approximation was used to determine the interaction parameter (β) and found to be negative.

Purpose: Over the last 40 years, there has been an unusual trend where, even though there are more varied treatments, survival rates have not improved much. Our study used survival analysis and machine learning (ML) to investigate this odd situation and to improve prediction methods for treating non-metastatic LSCC.

Methods: The surveillance, epidemiology and end results (SEER) database provided the data used for this study's analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • Intravenous polyvalent immunoglobulins (IVIG) are vital for patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) but access can be limited in lower middle-income countries; the WHO suggests local production using new technologies.
  • A clinical study compared the safety and effectiveness of mini-pool IVIG (MP-IVIG) to standard IVIG (STD-IVIG) in 21 pediatric PID patients, finding that both treatments reduced severe bacterial infections and hospitalizations.
  • Results showed that MP-IVIG did not present safety issues and was as effective as STD-IVIG, although findings should be interpreted cautiously due to the small sample size.

Peste des petits ruminants (PPRV), a highly contagious viral disease, causes significant economic losses concerning sheep and goats. Recently, PPR viruses (PPRVs), have adopted new hosts and lineage IV of PPRVs represents genetic diversity within the same lineage. 350 samples, including blood, swabs, and tissues from sheep/goats, were collected during the 2020-2021 disease outbreaks in Pakistan.
