Abstract:

Magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2 nanorods with diameters of 90±10nm and lengths of more than 2μms were prepared by a simple route at ~75oC in ambient air. The approach is based on reaction of magnesium powder and de-ionized water without the use of any harmful, toxic or corrosive reagents. Characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows single crystalline structure of Mg(OH)2 (brucite) whereas Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed that nanorods are almost uniform in size. Since only water is used as a solvent as well as a source of oxygen, we believe that this manufacturing process is suitable for mass production of nanostructures safely.

Simple and Efficient Method for the Preparation of 5-Bromoisatins

Isatin, N-methyl isatin and N-benzylisatin were smoothly monobrominated in the 5-position by treatment with pyridinium bromochromate (PBC) in acetic acid medium. In the similar conditions indigo underwent bromination and oxidation to give 5-bromoisatin in high yield.

I-4: A Simple and Safe Technique for Varicocele Surgery

s:2127:"Varicocele is the most common pathologic finding in men in infertility study programs and is the most treatable cause of male infertility. Its correction is performed by different surgical techniques, none of which is yet acknowledged as the "gold standard." Some of them, especially the microsurgical ones, are very time consuming and thus expensive; furthermore, all varicocele surgery i...
