The complexation of some thiosemicarbazones and isothiosemicarbazones of isatin and quinolin-2-aldehydes with Cu2+, Zn2+ and Mn2+ ions was spectrometrically investigated. Semiquantitative data, obtained from extinction values, about the relative complexing tendencies within some groups of homologous substances were brought in relation to their antiviral effects and binding to bovine serum albumin. The complexing tendencies were greatest in compounds with methyl substituents and decreased for higher alkyl substituents. whereas the binding to protein increased in the same order. The well-known maxima of the antiviral observed with medium alkyl groups may be explained by a superposition of these effects.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a complex and serious condition characterized by widespread activation of the coagulation cascade, resulting in both thrombosis and bleeding. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of DIC, emphasizing its clinical significance and the need for improved management strategies. We explore the primary causes of DIC, including sepsis, trauma, malignancies, and obstetric complications, which trigger an overactive coagulation response.

Does greater parental involvement lead to increased cooperation in their adolescent children? Are the effects of paternal and maternal involvement equivalent? In order to explore the above issues, this study conducted a questionnaire survey of 682 two-parent families to investigate the relationship between parental involvement and adolescents' cooperative tendencies and the mediating role of parent-child trust. The results show that paternal involvement directly predict adolescents' cooperative tendencies, while maternal involvement could not directly predict cooperative tendencies. In addition, parent-child trust mediates the relationship between parental involvement and adolescents' cooperative tendencies.

Objective: The aim of our study was to delineate the differences in demographics, comorbidities, and hospital outcomes by eating disorder types in adolescents and transitional-age youth (15-26 years), and measure the association with psychiatric comorbidities.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using the nationwide inpatient sample (2018-2019) and included 7,435 inpatients (age 12-24 years) with a primary diagnosis of eating disorders: anorexia nervosa (AN, 71.7%), bulimia nervosa (BN, 4.

Photochemical weathering and eco-corona formation through natural organic matter (NOM) adsorption play vital roles in the aggregation tendencies of nanoplastics (NPs) in aquatic environments. However, it remains unclear how photochemical weathering alters the adsorption patterns of NOM and the conformation of the eco-corona, subsequently affecting the aggregation tendencies of NPs. This study examined the effect of Suwannee River NOM adsorption on the aggregation kinetics of pristine and photoaged polystyrene (PS) NPs in monovalent electrolyte solutions.
