Isoindole-Based Multicomponent Synthesis of Pyrimido[6,1,2- cd ]pyrrolizine Fluorophores with Unsymmetrical Urea Handles: Photophysical, Theoretical, and Antifungal Imaging Studies

Abstract A diversity-oriented, one-pot synthetic strategy was successfully employed to generate a library of pyrimido[6,1,2-cd]pyrrolizine (PP)-based fluorophores incorporating unsymmetrical urea functionality, which function as versatile fluorescent probes and pharmacophores. Th...

Hydrogel‐Based Mechano‐Immunomodulation in Bone Fracture Healing: Mechanical Regulation of Macrophage Phenotypes, Osteoimmune Interactions, and Regeneration

Bone fracture healing is a meticulously regulated process encompassing the inflammatory, reparative, and remodelling phases. Macrophages serve as pivotal coordinators within this cascade, with their polarisation from pro-inflammatory M1 to proregenerative M2 phenotypes, which pla...

Hydrothermal preparation of Nickel oxide nanoparticles for photocatalytic removal of Congo red and antibacterial applications

Nickel oxide nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method and systematically characterized for photocatalytic and antibacterial applications. The UV–visible absorption spectrum revealed strong absorption in the ultraviolet region, and the optical...

Association of socioeconomic status on parental knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding dental fluorosis in Salem, Tamil Nadu: a cross-sectional study

Dental fluorosis is a significant public health burden in endemic regions like Salem, Tamil Nadu. While environmental fluoride levels are the primary cause, the severity of the condition is often mediated by parental awareness and preventive practices. Socioeconomic status (SES)...

Tri-Modal Cytology Excellence: Improving Body Fluid Diagnostic Performance.

Background & Objective: Cytological examination of effusion fluids is a valuable diagnostic tool. In India, conventional smear preparations are widely used, but they are often limited by poor cellularity, overlapping cells, and difficulty distinguishing malignant cells from react...

Clinicopathological and Immunohistochemical Correlation of Stromal CD10 Expression in Invasive Breast Carcinoma: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background & Objective: Breast cancer is a major global health concern, with tumor heterogeneity and tumor microenvironment (TME) dynamics limiting the predictive value of conventional prognostic markers such as age, tumor size, grade, nodal status, lymphovascular invasion (LVI),...

Enhancement of mechanical and antibacterial properties of glass ionomer cement using oyster shell-derived TiO2-hydroxyapatite nanorods for dental restoration application

Glass ionomer cement (GIC) is widely used in restorative dentistry due to its capability to form a chemical bond with tooth tissue and its biocompatibility. Nevertheless, its limited mechanical strength and antibacterial capabilities hinder its long-term success in dental restora...

Socio cultural determinants of dietary and health behaviours among women of reproductive age in rural India

A qualitative study was conducted to understand the sociocultural dynamics influencing the food security of women of reproductive age in Tantichira, a rural tribal village of Odisha, India—a representation of developing countries. Eastern societies worldwide were found to have fo...
