Profile distribution, Z-scan technique, Optical limiting and thermal lens method studies on Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside chloride.

For the purpose of determining the characteristics of the Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside chloride (COGC) dye, both an FT-IR spectrometer and a UV-Visible spect rometer were employed through the process. At a wavelength of 473 nm, a diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser with an adjustable wavelength was used to quantify the thermally induced optical nonlinearity of the dye in a solvent composed of dimethylformamide. For the purpose of measuring the optical response, the Z-scan technique was utilised.

Physiological effect of iron status on patients with polycystic ovary syndrome in Basrah city.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common gynecological diseases that affect the fertility in women in Basra governorate. The current study was designed in order to assess iron aberrations in PCOS patients by measuring the related parameters and their relationship with sex hormones in patients with PCOS. Serum samples were collected from 45 PCOS patients and 45 controls from a private women's clinic and were measured by ELISA in a private medical laboratory.

Refractive index based optically transparent biosensor device design for early detection of coronavirus.

For the quick detection of the new Coronavirus (COVID-19), a highly sensitive D-shaped gold-coated surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor is presented. The COVID-19 virus may be quickly and accurately identified using the SPR-based biosensor, which is essential for halting the spread of this excruciating epidemic. The suggested biosensor is used for detection of the IBV i.

The prevalence of multiple drug resistance Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from patients with urinary tract infections.

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and bacterial resistance to antibiotics is global health problem and a threat to public health in many countries.

Aims: The study aimed to determine the prevalence of MDR Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in UTI patients.

Materials & Methods: The midstream urine samples of 120 patients were collected and cultured as described by the protocols at the respective sample collection sites on MacConkey Blood agar.

Poisoning among children in Malaysia: A 10-years retrospective study.

Background: Poisoning commonly occurs among children due to their curiosity, where they tend to explore and investigate their surroundings. They frequently put what they find into their mouths as they do not understand the danger and probably cannot read the warning label. As this issue has not been extensively studied in Malaysia; hence, a retrospective analysis of records was carried out to determine the profile of phone call enquiries regarding poisoning among children at the National Poison Centre (NPC).

Serum level and tumor tissue expression of Ribonucleotide-diphosphate Reductase subunit M2 B: a potential biomarker for colorectal cancer.

Background: This study explored the applicability of serum level and tissue expression of Ribonucleotide-diphosphate Reductase subunit M2 B (RRM2B) as reliable biomarkers for colorectal cancer (CRC) progression and metastasis.

Methods And Results: The present descriptive-analytic cohort study was conducted on 50 newly diagnosed CRC patients (stage II, III) and 50 healthy individuals. The new cases had not received any therapeutic intervention and underwent surgery immediately after the initial diagnosis.

Pharmaceuticals Poisoning: Reported by the National Poison Centre in Malaysia between 2010 and 2015.

Background And Purpose: The wide availability of medications has led to an increased exposure of humans to the possibility of poisoning. An unavoidable effect due to the availability of these medications has also led to a rising increment in the number of poisoning cases. All drugs, especially when administered in large doses or overextended periods, can initiate a toxic condition.
