A new colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensor for fluoride anion based on calix [4]arene bearing four sulfonamide-fluorenone subunits on the upper rim was conveniently synthesized. It showed a remarkable color change as well as the fluorescence quenching upon addition of F even in the presence of a wide range of anions in DMSO. The binding property of L with F was studied by a combination of various spectroscopic techniques, such as absorption and emission titration, Job's plot and H NMR titration. It is anticipated that this design with functional group attached to upper rim of calix[4]arene platform can provide a new approach for the development of F chemosensor.

Disruption of cholinesterases and, as a consequence, increased levels of acetylcholine lead to serious disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system, including death. The need for rapid administration of an antidote to restore esterase activity is critical, but practical implementation of this is often difficult. One promising solution may be the development of antidote delivery systems that will release the drug only when acetylcholine levels are elevated.

The correlation between clinical outcomes and preoperative/postoperative measures of the lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) will help establish the cutoff values for this measurement and determine whether to obtain it from the lateral acetabular rim (LCEAR) or the lateral end of the sourcil (LCEAS). The hypothesis was that the LCEAS would be more sensitive than the LCEAR. An upper cutoff value of LCEA could predict better functional outcomes in FAI patients.

The NASA Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover Mission has collected samples of rock, regolith, and atmosphere within the Noachian-aged Jezero Crater, once the site of a delta-lake system with a high potential for habitability and biosignature preservation. Between sols 109 and 1,088 of the mission, 27 sample tubes have been sealed, including witness tubes. Each sealed sample tube has been collected along with detailed documentation provided by the Perseverance instrument payload, preserving geological and environmental context.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and etiology of maxillofacial trauma (MFT) and its association with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Background: Anecdotal evidence suggests that there is an association between MFT and TBI and that higher incidences of TBI are associated with frontal bone and mid-facial fractures. Despite the large volume of maxillofacial facial fractures treated in the authors' unit, no study has been undertaken to establish the relationship between TBI and maxillofacial fractures.

Non-gestational choriocarcinoma is an extremely rare and highly aggressive malignant tumor that arises independent of gestational events, making less than 0.6% of all ovarian germ cell tumors. Unlike the more common gestational choriocarcinoma, which is associated with pregnancy, non-gestational choriocarcinoma originates from germ cells within the ovary.
