Vitamins and Iron-Deficiency Gestational Anemia - A Review.

Vitamins, as essential m icronutrients, are vital for numerous cellular functions and play a key role in maintaining hematological parameter s during pregnancy, including erythropoiesis and processes affecting iron status. Iron-Deficient Gestational Anemia (IDGA), the most common clinicopathological condition in obstetrics and highly prevalent in developing countries, significantly contributes to complications such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and gestational diabetes. While it is recognized that vitamin deficiencies impact iron metabolism and erythropoiesis, a complete understanding of their specific roles in preventing and managing IDGA is lacking.

Synthesis, Antifungal Activity, Molecular Docking, Aquatic Toxicity Prediction and 2D-QSAR of Pyrazole Derivatives as Potential Fungicides for Basmati Rice.

The major problems in basmati rice are sheath blight and bakanae diseases caused by Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium fujikuroi, which significantly lower the productivity of basmati rice. However, the excessive use of fungicides can result in pathogen resistance, environmental overload and mammalian toxicity. Therefore, there is a need for new fungicides with novel modes of action, low toxicity and minimal residue.

Role of sequential functional echocardiography in predicting clinically apparent patent ductus arteriosus in preterm very low birth weight newborns: An observational study.

BackgroundThe prolonged ductal patency in preterm newborns despite being associated with short- and long-term morbidities has failed to show significant improvement in the long-term outcome with routine ductal treatment. Echocardiography has been shown to have a predictive and diagnostic role in identifying the significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) before its clinical detection and providing selective treatment for PDA to avoid unnecessary therapy or delay of necessary therapy. Several echocardiographic ductal markers have been evaluated for their predictive utility with a wide range of sensitivity (26%-100%) and specificity (6%-100%).

Recent advances in electrochemical utilization of NHPI esters.

Electrochemical methods employing -hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) esters have emerged as powerful tools for sustainable organic synthesis. Derived from abundant and stable alkyl carboxylic acids, NHPI esters enable the generation of alkyl radicals through single-electron transfer (SET) and decarboxylation, facilitating carbon-carbon (C-C) and carbon-heteroatom (C-X) bond formation. These reactions are vital for synthesizing complex molecules used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials, yet traditional approaches often depend on harsh conditions, toxic reagents, or costly metals.
