A highly selective coumarin-based chemosensor for dual sensing of Cu and Zn ions with logic gate integration and live cell imaging.

In this paper, a coumarin-based Schiff base chemosensor has been synthesized and developed to detect Cu and Zn ions in nanomolar concentrations. The probe selectively distinguishes Cu and Zn from among several metal ions in DMF : HO (7 : 3, v/v, pH 7.4) HEPES buffer.

RNA inhibitors of nuclear proteins responsible for multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.

The development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) following infection or tissue injury is associated with increased patient morbidity and mortality. Extensive cellular injury results in the release of nuclear proteins, of which histones are the most abundant, into the circulation. Circulating histones are implicated as essential mediators of MODS.

Impact on Quality of Life in Vitiligo Patients Treated with Narrowband Ultraviolet B Phototherapy.

Context: Vitiligo is a psychosocial problem which significantly affects quality of life in Indian scenario.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to compare the changes in quality of life in patients of vitiligo before and after treatment with narrowband ultraviolet B (NBUVB) phototherapy.
