Article Abstract
Nerve agents are highly poisonous organophosphorus chemicals, and the possibility of being used in terrorist attacks seriously threatens public safety. Thus, developing quick and straightforward detection techniques for these dangerous substances is paramount for the scientific communities. In this contribution, we have fabricated a sensitive and easily applicable ionic liquids (ILs) based colorimetric sensor for detecting various nerve agents' stimulants in solution and gas phases, respectively, based on methyl orange (MO)-based IL ([P][MO]) derived from MO dye and trihexyltetradecylphosphonium chloride (PCl) by a simple ion exchange mechanism. The developed [P][MO] and water-suspended [P][MO] nanoparticles are found to be very much sensitive to detecting various nerve agents' stimulants having detection limits in the μM range in any medium and could be identified based on the response times which is found to be superior to many chemosensors available in the literature. The naked eye observed a distinct color change from yellow to fuchsia in the presence of nerve agents' stimulants, which shows better sensitivity than the free organic indicator. Furthermore, a facile test strip with [P][MO] and water-suspended [P][MO] NPs has been fabricated that can achieve visual detection of various nerve agents' stimulants within the stockpiles of other analogous harmful analytes. Also, a dip-stick experiment has been performed to detect harmful toxic analytes vapor. The effectiveness of [P][MO] and water-suspended [P][MO] NPs in identifying and quantifying various nerve agents' stimulants demonstrated its potential for usage as a signal tool for real sample analysis.

Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are widely used in systemic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and can be employed in otology to evaluate endolymphatic hydrops in patients with Ménière's disease. Given the heavy metal properties of gadolinium and its tendency to deposit in tissues, it is essential to assess its ototoxic risk. We evaluated the ototoxicity of gadodiamide using in vitro and in vivo models.

Extensive peripheral nerve injuries often lead to the loss of neurological function due to slow regeneration and limited recovery over large gaps. Current clinical interventions, such as nerve guidance conduits (NGCs), face challenges in creating biomimetic microenvironments that effectively support nerve repair. The developed GrooveNeuroTube is composed of hyaluronic acid methacrylate and gelatin methacrylate hydrogel, incorporating active agents (growth factors and antibacterial agents) encapsulated within an NGC conduit made of 3D-printed PCL grid fibers.

Organophosphorus nerve agents (OPNAs), including G-agents, EGA (ethyltabun, phosphonamidic acid, P-cyano-N,N-diethyl-, ethyl ester) and V-agents, VM (O-ethyl S-(2-diethylaminoethyl) phosphonothiolate), are highly toxic chemical warfare agents (CWAs) with severe risks to human health and environmental security. This study proposes a chemometric-driven framework for forensic tracing of their synthetic pathways using high-resolution GC × GC-TOFMS. By integrating advanced statistical analysis, we identified 160 synthesis-associated chemical attribution signatures (CAS) for EGA and 138 process-specific CAS for VM, with 11 overlapping markers, including ethoxyphosphates and diethylaminoethylamine derivatives.
