Severe, delayed-onset thrombocytopenia after prolonged chlorothiazide use in a former preterm infant with bronchopulmonary dysplasia: a case report

Abstract Introduction Drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia (DITP) is a rare, antibody-mediated adverse effect that typically occurs within days to weeks of drug exposure and is rarely reported in infants receiving prolonged diuretic therapy. Case presentation We report a former 2...

GREEN TRANSFORMATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF KEY INDUSTRIES IN SURKHANDARYA REGION THROUGH RESOURCE EFFICIENCY

The study examines the dynamics of green transformation and resource efficiency in the energy and industrial system of the Republic of Uzbekistan, with a particular focus on the Surkhandarya region, drawing on the Porter hypothesis, decoupling theory, and the Brundtland Commissio...

THE IMPACT OF COMMERCIAL BANK LIABILITIES ON FINANCIAL EFFICIENCY IN UZBEKISTAN THROUGH FUNDING STRUCTURE LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE RISK

This paper examines liability-management theory — the deposit-stability, purchased-funds and liquidity-matching ("golden rule") tradition, together with the Basel III liquidity standards — as a framework for explaining and improving the economic effi ciency with which Uzbekistan'...

ENHANCING THE ORGANIZATIONAL AND ECONOMIC MECHANISMS FOR SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN UZBEKISTAN

This paper examines the organizational and economic mechanisms underpinning Uzbekistan's rapid tourism-sector expansion since 2019, drawing on sustainable-tourism theory, the Porter hypothesis, and destination life-cycle theory. Using official National Statistics Committee (Stat....

Solvothermal synthesis and multifunctional characterization of a two-dimensional Mn(II) coordination polymer with dibromoterephthalate linkers: Dielectric, BET, and hirshfeld surface studies

A new two-dimensional Mn(II)-based coordination polymer, poly[(μ 2 -2,5-dibromobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylato-κ 2 O:O′)bis(μ 2 -formato-κ 2 O:O′)bis(N,N-dimethylformamide-κO)dimanganese(II)] ([Mn 2 (Br 2 BDC)(Fo) 2 (DMF) 2 ] n ), was synthesized solvothermally at 150 °C for 24 h and o...

Prevalence of Stress, Anxiety, and Depression Among Pregnant Women in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Background & Objective: Pregnancy is a vulnerable period for psychological distress, yet Riyadh-specific data describing stress, anxiety, and depression simultaneously and their correlates remain limited. This study was conducted with aim to estimate the prevalence of antenatal s...

Independent Engineering Transfer After Traceable Generative-AI-Assisted Learning: A Six-University Controlled Trial with Deterministic Cluster Allocation in Agricultural Engineering Education

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) can support engineering problem solving, but whether AI-assisted practice transfers to independent performance after the tool is removed remains unclear. This multicentre controlled trial evaluated a traceable five-stage GenAI-assisted l...

Black phosphorus quantum dots for resistome mitigation: Mechanistic insights and rational engineering

The emergence of antibiotic resistance as a global environmental challenge has intensified the need for advanced strategies capable of addressing antibiotic contamination while reducing the environmental drivers of resistance dissemination. Although black phosphorus quantum dot (...
