Nitrate is a noxious and persistent oxyanion in drinking waters. It themed as one of the most common water quality violations worldwide. electrocatalytic reduction appears to be viable solution. However, use platinum group elements (PGEs) electrocatalysts must avoided due their high cost limited availability. In this study, earth-abundant nano-Fe3O4 electrodes were synthesized surpass those imp...

Determining how to apply hydrogen as a therapeutic/preventive antioxidant for oxidative-stress-related diseases practically in daily life has not been studied. The effects of bathtubs and buckets filled with water (41 °C, >10 min bathing) were investigated on six subjects, without medical prescription, suffering from skin roughness the foot, hand, finger, or elbow. They also treated an elect...

Electrooptical devices and optical communications need compounds with second-order nonlinear (NLO) properties as construction blocks. Typically, to show a large quadratic hyperpolarizability, compound should be asymmetric, characterized by variation between the dipole moments in excited ground states, have low energy electronic transitions. For example, hyperpolarizability can reached when an e...

Abstract In this mini review, we highlight advances in the last five years light-activated cancer theranostics by using hybrid systems consisting of transition metal complexes (TMCs) and plasmonic gold nanostructures (AuNPs). TMCs are molecules with attractive properties high potential biomedical application. Due to their antiproliferative abilities, platinum-based compounds currently first-cho...

Platinum metal catalyzes the reduction of dialkyl(diolefin)platinum(II) complexes by dihydrogen to alkanes and platinum(0). The reaction involves adsorption of the platinum(II) complex on the platinum(0) catalyst surface with conversion of the alkyl moieties to platinum surface alkyls; these appear as alkane products. The platinum atom originally present in the soluble organoplatinum species be...

BACKGROUND After platinum and taxane chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab, active regimens for advanced or recurrent cervical cancer are lacking. Our objective was to review a single institution experience in treating recurrent, refractory cervical cancer with nano-particle albumin bound (NAB) paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab. METHODS This retrospective case series was conducted in...

background : the brain is a rare site of metastases from ovarian cancer. limited data are available on prognostic factors, standard treatment, and survival. knowledge of clinical prognostic factors would help the management of patients with brain metastases. the aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of clinical factors and treatment modalities on survival in patients with brain metastases...
