Porphyrin-based two-dimensional porous materials (SnP-H2TCPP, SnP-ZnTCPP) composed of robust Sn(IV)-porphyrin linkages have been synthesized by reacting -dihydroxo[5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato]tin(IV) (SnP) with [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin] (HTCPP) and [5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrinato]zinc(II) (ZnTCPP), respectively. The strength of the interaction between the carboxylic acid group of the monomeric porphyrins (HTCPP and ZnTCPP) and the axial hydroxyl moiety of SnP enables the construction of highly stable framework materials, which were characterized by FT-IR, UV-vis, and emmission spectroscopy, powder XRD, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). SnP-H2TCPP and SnP-ZnTCPP absorb visible light strongly over a wide range, demonstrating weak perturbation in the electronic ground state structures of the π-conjugated aromatic moieties compared to the starting monomeric units.

The remarkable catalytic activity, optical properties, and electrochemical behavior of nanomaterials based on noble metals (NM) are profoundly influenced by their physical characteristics, including particle size, morphology, and crystal structure. Effective regulation of these parameters necessitates a refined methodology. Lignin, a natural aromatic compound abundant in hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, and sulfonic acid groups, has emerged as an eco-friendly surfactant, reducing agent, and dispersant, offering the potential to precisely control the particle size and morphology of NM-based nanomaterials.

Sepsis remains a significant global health concern, particularly among aging populations. This comprehensive review examines the complex interplay between aging and sepsis, focusing on risk factors, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies specific to older adults. The study explores the physiological changes associated with aging that contribute to increased sepsis susceptibility, including immunosenescence and chronic inflammation.

Celiac disease (CD) is a long-term inflammatory condition affecting the small intestines, characterized by bowel villi atrophy and mucosal histological alterations that lead to impaired nutrient absorption and metabolic changes. While a gluten-free diet (GFD) is recognized as one of the most effective treatments, it presents significant challenges including increased expenses, potential nutritional deficiencies, and various social and psychological implications. This review evaluates the comprehensive impact of GFD on CD patients, examining its efficacy in preventing complications like osteoporosis and alleviating symptoms, while also addressing the difficulties in maintaining complete gluten elimination.

The relationship between cultural practices and mental health is particularly complex in diverse communities. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a prevalent neurodevelopmental condition, remains underdiagnosed and untreated in South Asian populations, often due to persistent stigmas and systemic barriers. While global awareness of ADHD is increasing, research examining its connection with parenting styles in South Asian families is limited.
