The fission fragment total excitation energy, TXE(A), is investigated for neutron-induced fission of uranium isotopes using three different methods. Different methods for calculations of the TXE(A) produced by the decay of low excited systems are analyzed and their results are compared with the available TXE values. The calculated TXE values have been compared with the results of other studies for the neutron induced fission of U, U as well as the photo-fission of U. The scission point method for evaluating TXE has been modified by comparing the available and calculated results. TXE(A) is evaluated for other uranium isotopes using three methods. It is found that TXE values in the neutron induced fission of U, U and the photo-fission of U are greater than the calculated TXE values of other uranium isotopes. The TXE values of light uranium isotopes decrease with increasing their mass numbers, while the TXE values of heavy uranium isotopes increase as their mass numbers increase. Also, the calculated TXE values for all isotopes increase sharply near the symmetric region, which is due to the formation of unstable fission fragment. On the other hand, a slight increase in neutron multiplicity and TXE values can be observed in heavy fission fragments (A>155), which could be due to the neutron excess. However, the sharp increase in neutron multiplicity and TXE values in some studies for the heavy fission fragments (A>155) is due to a missing correction in the data analysis.

A large variety of unique and distinct flora of Australia have developed exceptional survival methods and phytochemicals and hence may provide a significant avenue for new drug discovery. This study proposes a bioassay guided fractionation protocol that maybe robust and efficient in screening plants with potential bioactive properties and isolating lead novel compounds. Hence, five native Australian plants were selected for this screening process, namely Pittosporum angustifolium (Gumbi gumbi), Terminalia ferdinandiana (Kakadu plum, seeds (KPS), and flesh (KPF)), Cupaniopsis anacardioides (Tuckeroo, seeds (TKS) and flesh (TKF)), Podocarpus elatus (Illawarra plum, seeds (IPS) and flesh (IPF)) and Pleiogynium timoriense (Burdekin plum, seeds (BPS) and flesh (BPF)).

Recently, there has been increased interest in aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) as potential malarial drug targets. These enzymes play a key role in protein translation by the addition of amino acids to their cognate tRNA. The aaRSs are present in all life cycle stages, and thus present an attractive malarial drug target.

Background: The decoction of yields an antioxidant-rich extract and a water-soluble polysaccharide. This study aims (1) to investigate the effect of process parameters (extraction time and temperature) on the antioxidant activity of the decoction and the extraction yield of CPGP by response methodology and (2) to study the chemical properties of the optimized decoction and rheological properties of the corresponding extracted polysaccharide.
Results: The antioxidant-rich decoction contained about 19.
Real-life experience of using conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Retrospective analysis of the efficacy of methotrexate, sulfasalazine, and leflunomide in PsA in comparison to spondyloarthritides other than PsA and literature review of the use of conventional DMARDs in PsA.

Objective: With the aim of assessing the response to treatment with conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) used in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), data on methotrexate, sulfasalazine (SSZ), and leflunomide were analyzed from baseline and subsequent follow-up (FU) questionnaires completed by patients with either PsA or other spondyloarthritides (SpAs).
Material And Methods: A single-center real-life retrospective analysis was performed by obtaining clinical data via questionnaires administered before and after treatment. The indices used were erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) level, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Function Index (BASFI), wellbeing (WB), and treatment effect (TxE).
