a preterm female baby with birth weight of 1.5kg was referred to our hospital on day 6 for difficulty in breathing. baby was admitted at birth for respiratory distress and feed intolerance to other hospital and in view of clinical deterioration baby was referred. baby had thrombocytopenia with platelets counts of 11000/ mm3 and high crp titer. baby had petechial haemorrhagic spots all over the ...

introduction: acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (itp) is an autoimmune bleeding disorder of childhood caused by production of auto antibodies against platelets. the aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin (ivig) and intravenous anti-d(iv anti-d) in itp treatment. methods and materials: in a clinical trial, 43 children with acute itp referred to...

Excess use of chemical pesticides in agriculture assisting the accomplishment of agri-food production targets. But, indiscriminate use of chemical pesticide is the serious concern for environment and human, which deteriorating the soil health, nutritional quality of food and increasing resistance in phyto-pathogens and pests. Nanotechnology provided the sustainable solution in this regard by de...

Tailoring materials to obtain unique, or significantly enhanced material properties through rationally designed structures rather than chemical constituents is principle of metamaterial concept, which leads to the realization of remarkable optical and mechanical properties. Inspired by the recent progress in electromagnetic and mechanical metamaterials, here we introduce the concept of ferroele...

As socie ty becomes more comfortable discussing genetics and its related ethics, a new technology is blossoming in the background. Nanotechnology may speak the same societal language as does genetics, in that both technological movements involve tiny science and large imagination. In a way, it is natural—and almost inevitable—that the genetic revolution and the nanotechnology revolution be comp...

In this work, we present new results about the non-enzymatic detection of lindane by using CuO-MnO2 hierarchical nano-microstructures. The linear range for the determination of lindane is up to 700 μM with a limit of detection of 4.8 nM, which is much lower than for other non-enzymatic lindane sensors.

The development of scaffolds for tissue-engineered growth the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a promising approach to overcome limitations current solutions. This work proposes novel biodegradable and biocompatible matching mechanical characteristics native human ligament. Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) reinforced with graphite nano-platelets (PLA+EG) as received, chemically functionalized (PLA+...

Natural nacre, which consists of almost 95 vol% inorganic content (calcium carbonate) and 5 vol% elastic biopolymers, possesses a unique combination of remarkable strength and toughness, which is attributed to its hierarchical nano-/ microscale structure and precise inorganic–organic interface. Inspired by the intrinsic relationship between the structures and the mechanical properties lying in ...
