The aim of this retrospective study was to examine methyl alcohol intoxications in Trabzon (Turkey) and to determine any relations between the laboratory results and histopathologic changes. A total of 4492 forensic autopsies were performed from 1998 to 2008. Thirteen of the cases (0.3%) were because of methanol poisoning, and all were men. Their ages ranged from 25 to 62 years. The blood methanol concentrations ranged widely, from 15 to 482 mg/dL. In six cases, poisoning was because of consumption of the alcoholic beverage "Raki," while in five cases, poisoning was because of the ingestion of cologne. The products consumed were unknown in the other two cases because of insufficient history and data records. Mortality because of methanol poisoning may be prevented/decreased with the implementation of some precautions, such as public education regarding the harms of methyl alcohol, routine monitoring of the vendors that sell alcoholic beverages and cologne, and appropriate legal retribution for the illegal production of methanol.

This study investigates the use of machine learning models to predict solubility of rivaroxaban in binary solvents based on temperature (T), mass fraction (w), and solvent type. Using a dataset with over 250 data points and including solvents encoded with one-hot encoding, four models were compared: Gradient Boosting (GB), Light Gradient Boosting (LGB), Extra Trees (ET), and Random Forest (RF). The Jellyfish Optimizer (JO) algorithm was applied to tune hyperparameters, enhancing model performance.

The cyclic triangular complex - silver (I) 4-nitro-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolate (Agpz) with super π-acidity shows great potential in adsorptive desulfurization (ADS) as a novel adsorbent, however, it fails to work well in the continue flow adsorption study. In order to improve its dynamic adsorption performance, a composite has been prepared by mixing Agpz and multilayer graphene (MG) in methanol. Based on the results of characterization by FT-IR, XPS, SEM, and so on, the optimal mass ratio of Agpz:MG in the synthesis is 0.

Free fentanyl is responsible for its pharmacological effects, but its total concentration is typically determined for therapeutic drug monitoring purposes. Determination of fentanyl concentration can help reduce the prescribed doses, leading to fewer side effects and increased effectiveness. Therefore, predicting free drug concentration in pharmaceutical research is crucial.

High-performance electrocatalysts are highly concerned in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) related energy applications. However, facile synthesis of hierarchically porous structures with highly exposed active sites and improved mass transfer is challenging. Herein, we develop a novel assembly-foaming strategy for synthesizing hierarchically porous nitrogen-doped carbon supported single-atom iron catalysts.
