Background and Objectives: Pleural effusion is seen in around half of the cases of pulmonary embolism (PE). There are no data on the incidence of pleural effusion in cases of PE in the Kingdom of Bahrain. This study was done to determine the frequency and radiological features of pleural effusion [...]

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a 4-week intervention of melatonin and essential aminoacid supplementation on body composition, protein metabolism, strength and inflammation in 159 elderly sarcopenic patients (42/117, men/women), assigned to four groups: isocaloric placebo (P, n = 44), melatonin (M, 1 mg/daily, n = 42), essential amino acids [...]

Cells electrical fields have a significant role in cell function. Aim: The current study examined the effects of nanoscale electric fields generated by magneto-electric nanoparticles (MENs) on precancerous liver tissue. Methods & results: A total of 30 nm MENs synthesized by sol-gel method were tested in vitro on HepG2 cells [...]

In this study the effect of annealing time is confirmed to alter the morphology (shape and size) of magnesium ferrite nanoparticles (MgFe 2 O 4 ) synthesized by autoclave route, employing ferric and magnesium nitrate salts as precursors. Annealing was applied at 1000 ° C for different durations (2, 30 [...]

Inter-organizational information systems (IOIS) offer many potential benefits to organizations, and IOIS adoption has increased in the last few decades. However, IOIS adoption varies significantly across different contexts, and little research has investigated how contextual factors affect IOIS-adoption variances at the inter-organizational (IO) level in depth—particularly from a multilevel perspective. [...]

In this study, an antiparkinson drug Entacapone (ENP) is electrochemically investigated under optimized conditions using NH 2 functionalized multi walled carbon nanotubes (NH 2 fMWCNT) decorated over glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The surface morphology of the NH 2 fMWCNT/GCE was probed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) armed with EDX analysis. [...]

New glycosylhydrazinyl-pyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines were synthesized by the reaction of respective 5-aryl-7-hydrazino-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidines (1a-d) with glucose, galactose, and xylose in ethanol. Their glycopyranosyl structures were reasoned to be in chair conformations and each have hydrazine moiety in the β-configuration. Also, pyrazolo[1,5-c]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of 1a-d with benzoic acid in [...]

Candidates of triazole-containing amino acid derivatives 5a−k were prepared under green chemistry conditions via multicomponent reaction using lemon juice as an acidic catalyst. All compounds were characterized by different spectral and elemental analyses. They were evaluated for their in vitro antileishmanial activity against miltefosine and amphotericin B deoxycholate as reference [...]

Oxide spinels (OSs) have been identified as perspective functional materials in various fields of applications including water treatment, degradation of dyes, hyperthermia, and drug delivery and as antibacterial agent. In recent years, extensive researches are devoted to the synthesis and properties of spinel nanooxide systems to fulfill the essential requirement [...]

In recent years, extensive researches were devoted to iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), including magnetite (Fe3O4) and maghemite (γ-Fe2O3), due to their low toxicity and cost, in addition to their unique physicochemical and magnetic properties. In this review, we present a brief introduction on IONPs in terms of classification and properties. [...]
