Validation of the Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Tool "Catquest" in Odia Language.

Background: Healthcare is evolving to consider patient satisfaction along with any procedure's objective outcome. After cataract surgery, the quality of vision can be assessed by administering questionnaires on daily activities. Using such questionnaires in local languages enhances patient-doctor interaction.

Exploring USFDA-Approved Imidazole-Based Small Molecules in Drug Discovery: A Mini Perspective.

In the present work, we have explored the importance of the imidazole ring and its importance in drug discovery, citing the key approvals in the present decade (2013-2024). The pharmacological attribution for the approved drugs revealed that out of 20 approved drugs, 45% of the approvals were made as anti-infectives, followed by approvals under the category of genetic and metabolic disorders, sexual endocrine disorders, anticancer, and to treat blood pressure, gastrointestinal disorders, and neurological conditions. Most approved drugs were dispensed through solid dosage forms (13) and thus had predominantly oral routes beside others.

Comparative Analysis of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Manual Small-Incision Cataract Surgery Versus Phacoemulsification for Brown Cataracts.

Objective The objective of this study is to compare patient-reported outcome measures using the Catquest Questionnaire in patients undergoing phacoemulsification (Phaco) versus manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS). Materials and methods This descriptive cross-sectional study included patients aged 40 years and older with cataracts classified as nuclear sclerosis (NS) grade 3 or higher. Demographic details were recorded and a comprehensive ophthalmological exam was done.

Complications Associated With Inferior Vena Cava Filter Retrieval: A Systematic Review.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters have been used successfully in high-risk patients to prevent thromboembolism. The filters are widely created as retrievable devices, but complication rates progressively increase during IVC filter retrieval. This study aims to analyze IVC filter retrieval cases and associated complications during and following the procedures regarding dwell times, specific filter types, filter positioning, and advanced retrieval techniques.

A novel method for oxidative degradation of metanil yellow azo dye by hexacyanoferrate(III) ions.

In the present work, the degradation of metanil yellow, an azo dye, by hexacyanoferrate(III) ions (oxidant) in the aqueous alkaline medium has been investigated by kinetic-spectrophotometric method at λmax 435 nm of the reaction mixture. The effect of various parameters such as the concentration of dye, oxidant, and solution pH on the reaction rate has been determined. The results show that the rate of degradation increases linearly with the increase in concentrations of oxidant and dye at optimum pH of 9.

Iridium nanoparticles with high catalytic activity in degradation of acid red-26: an oxidative approach.

Nanocatalysis using metal nanoparticles constitutes one of the emerging technologies for destructive oxidation of organics such as dyes. This paper deals with the degradation of acid red-26 (AR-26), an azo dye by hexacyanoferrate (abbreviated as HCF) (III) using iridium nanoparticles. UV-vis spectroscopy has been employed to obtain the details of the oxidative degradation of the selected dye.
