Topological indices correlate certain physicochemical properties like boiling point, stability, and strain energy of chemical compounds. In this report, we compute M-polynomials for PAMAM dendrimers and polyomino chains. Moreover, by applying calculus, we compute nine important topological indices of under-study dendrimers and chains.

There has been a recent debate that boron nanotubes can outperform carbon nanotubes on many grounds. The most stable boron nanotubes are made of a hexagonal lattice with an extra atom added to some of the hexagons called ∝-boron nanotubes. Closed forms of M-polynomial of nanotubes produce closed forms of many degree-based topological indices which are numerical parameters of the structure and determine physico-chemical properties of the concerned nanotubes.

We aimed to evaluate the association between the presence of histologic chorioamnionitis (HC) and development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) during neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay. Data of preterm infants born at 32 weeks of gestation or less were reviewed. The development of PH and other respiratory outcomes were compared according to the presence of HC.

V-Phenylenic nanotubes and nanotori are most comprehensively studied nanostructures due to widespread applications in the production of catalytic, gas-sensing and corrosion-resistant materials. Representing chemical compounds with M-polynomial is a recent idea and it produces nice formulas of degree-based topological indices which correlate chemical properties of the material under investigation. These indices are used in the development of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) in which the biological activity and other properties of molecules like boiling point, stability, strain energy etc.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined outcomes of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) in infants with neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) both with and without persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN).
  • A total of 116 infants were reviewed, revealing that those with PPHN experienced longer hospital stays and more complications, but brain imaging results showed no significant differences compared to those without PPHN.
  • The findings suggest that TH might be beneficial for HIE infants with PPHN and the associated risks could be lower than previously thought.
