N-(2,4-Dimethylphenyl)-2,2-dichloroacetamide (24DMPA) and N-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-2,2-dichloroacetamide (35DMPA) of the configuration X(y)C(6)H(5-y)NHCO-CHCl(2) (where, X=CH(3) and y=2) were synthesised and an extensive spectroscopic investigations have been carried out. The ab initio and DFT studies were carried out with 6-31G** and cc-pVDZ basis sets to determine the structural, thermodynamical and vibrational characteristics of the compounds and also to understand the steric influence of methyl groups on the characteristic frequencies of amide (-CONH-) group. The most stable conformer has been determined by PES scan. Normal co-ordinate analysis has been carried out in an effort to provide mixing of the fundamental modes with the help of potential energy distribution (PED). The energies of the frontier molecular orbitals have been determined. Complete NBO analysis was also carried out to find out the intramolecular electronic interactions and their stabilisation energy. All the computed values are well agreed with the experimental data.

Introduction: Unmet health care needs are seen as a key indicator of equity in access to health care. With younger people, they can lead to poorer health outcomes in adulthood, and in older people they can be associated with an increased risk of mortality. The presence of a disability is considered a risk factor for unmet needs.

Electronic address:

Background: Voice analysis has emerged as a potential biomarker for mood state detection and monitoring in bipolar disorder (BD). The systematic review aimed to summarize the evidence for voice analysis applications in BD, examining (1) the predictive validity of voice quality outcomes for mood state detection, and (2) the correlation between voice parameters and clinical symptom scales.

Methods: A PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library search was carried out by two investigators for publications investigating voice quality in BD according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statements.

Background: Prostate cancer treatment involves hormonal therapies that may carry cardiovascular risks, particularly for long-term use. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists, such as degarelix, may offer advantages over agonists, but comprehensive comparative cardiovascular outcomes are not well established. This study aimed to systematically review and analyze the cardiovascular safety profiles of degarelix compared to those of traditional GnRH agonists, providing critical insights for optimizing treatment strategies.

A novel method for assessing the shedding of fibre in forensic science: Investigating the effects of washing.

Forensic Sci Int

January 2025

Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science, Department of Science and Engineering, University of Dundee, Dundee DD1 4HN, UK.

The evaluation of the shedding capacity of a garment is crucial in forensic analysis to understand fibre transfer mechanisms during contact activities. While adhesive tapes are commonly used, the lack of standardised pressure application -often done manually- poses a challenge. In addition, while previous studies have examined the effects of washing on fibre evidence, there is a notable absence in the literature regarding its impact on garment shedding capacity.

Imported seafood is a reservoir of Enterobacteriaceae carrying CTX-M-encoding genes of high clinical relevance.

Int J Food Microbiol

January 2025

Department of Pathobiology and Population Sciences, Royal Veterinary College, NW1 0TU London, United Kingdom; Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, University of Copenhagen, 1870 Frederiksberg C, Denmark. Electronic address:

We determined the frequency, genotypes, phenotypes, and mobility of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-encoding genes in Enterobacteriaceae isolated from retail seafood products. Overall, 288 samples of fresh shrimps, catfish and seabass imported from Asia were collected from three supermarket chains in the UK (96 each). After enrichment in MacConkey broth supplemented with cefotaxime, total DNA was screened for the presence of CTX-M, SHV and TEM by real-time PCR.
