Sustainable, Green, and Sensitive Spectrofluorimetric Approach for Pizotifen Maleate Detection in Tablets and Human Plasma via Photo-Induced Electron Transfer Inhibition.

Pizotifen maleate (PZM) is an anti-migraine drug. Effective treatment requires accurate measurement of PZM levels in patients and constant medication concentrations in tablets. This paper presents a new spectrofluorimetric approach for detecting PZM in tablets and human blood plasma (spiked with PZM).

Immediate and delayed micro shear bond strength evaluation of two glass ionomer cements to composite resin by using different bonding techniques-an in vitro study.

Objective: Evaluating immediate and delayed micro shear bond strength (µSBS) between composite resin and glass ionomer cements using different adhesive systems and mechanical surface treatment.

Materials And Methods: A total of 240 specimens of glass ionomer restorative materials were divided into two groups: Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement (RMGIC) namely Riva Light Cure and Conventional Glass Ionomer Cement (CGIC) namely Riva Self Cure. These were subdivided into immediate (24 h) and delayed (3 months) storage and further divided into smooth, medium, and rough surface treatment with either total etch (TE) or self-etch (SE) adhesive strategies.

A Meta-Analysis of Timing of Complete Revascularization in Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Recent randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of STEMI patients with multi-vessel disease (MVD) reported potential superiority of immediate (ICR) vs. staged complete revascularization (SCR). Inherently, the risk of procedural MI is less likely to be detected in ICR patients, and this may have influenced the results.

Expression and Immune Response Profiles in Nile Tilapia () and European Sea Bass () During Pathogen Challenge and Infection.

Nile tilapia () and European sea bass () are economically significant species in Mediterranean countries, serving essential roles in the aquaculture industry due to high market demand and nutritional value. They experience substantial losses from bacterial pathogens and , particularly at the onset of the summer season. The immune mechanisms involved in fish infections by and remain poorly understood.

Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastic Composite Coatings for Steel Pipelines.

Steel pipeline systems carry about three-quarters of the world's oil and gas. Such pipelines need to be coated to prevent corrosion and erosion. An alternative to the current epoxy-based coating, a multi-layered composite coating is developed in this research.

A Hybrid Deep Learning Model with Data Augmentation to Improve Tumor Classification Using MRI Images.

Background: Cancer ranks second among the causes of mortality worldwide, following cardiovascular diseases. Brain cancer, in particular, has the lowest survival rate of any form of cancer. Brain tumors vary in their morphology, texture, and location, which determine their classification.

Calcitriol ameliorates cisplatin-induced hepatorenal toxicity via regulation of Nrf2-Mrp2/p38 MAPK signaling in mice.

Despite being one of the most frequently used chemotherapy agents, cisplatin exhibits substantial hepatorenal injury by triggering oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis pathways. The current investigation studied the possible protective effects of calcitriol on cisplatin-induced hepatorenal toxicity. Mice were divided randomly as follows: control group, calcitriol group (received calcitriol 5 µg/kg, p.

sST2 levels and 3D speckle tracking as predictors of CAD severity in chronic coronary syndrome.

Background: Previous studies on the relation of sST2 with atherosclerotic disease mostly focused on the predictive value of sST2 for heart failure. However, there is no definite conclusion about the correlation between sST2 level and a complex coronary lesion morphology detected with coronary angiography (CAG). The purpose of this work was to know sST2 level and 3D speckle-tracking echocardiography as predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD) severity in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) individuals using Gensini score.

Artificial Optimizer Algorithm for Power System Stabilizer design problem and multidisciplinary engineering applications.

The novelty of this research lies in presenting a fresh stochastic algorithm enthused via 'Velociraptor' social intelligence in wildlife (or nature), known as the Velociraptor Group Optimization algorithm (VROA). In this strategy, 'Velociraptor' co-operative natural life cycle is mathematically framed, and novel mechanisms are presented to perform search (or exploration) and hunting (or exploitation). This suggests that the proposed method reveals a noteworthy ability in both exploitation and exploration.

A proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) level among risk factors of ocular involvement in patients with Behçet's disease.

Introduction: Ocular involvement is quite common in Behçet's disease (BD) and may cause crucial functional complications. Even though the mechanisms of BD remain unclear, advances in genetic and immunological fields have improved our understanding of the immunopathogenesis of BD ocular involvement. Little is known about the expression of a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) in terms of ocular involvement in BD.
