Phospholipid distribution in the cytoplasmic membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is highly asymmetric, dynamic, and cell shape-dependent
2020
The cell shape of Gram-negative bacteria is maintained metabolically by asymmetric lipid distribution in biogenic plasma membrane.
Application of graphene quantum dots in heavy metals and pesticides detection
2020
Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) were produced using electrochemical oxidation of graphite rods. Obtained GQDs were gamma-irradiated in the presence of the N atoms source, ethylenediamine. Both structural and morphological changes were investigated using UV-Vis, X-ray photoelectron and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy as well as atomic force microscopy. The ability of both types of dots to change PL intensity in the presence of pesticides such as malathion and glyphosate, as well as copper (II) ions was detected. These preliminary results indicated a high potential of produced GQDs to be applied as non-enzymatic PL sensors for the detection of selected pesticides and metal ions. 26th Interna…
Reduced graphene oxide decorated with metals nanoparticles electrode as electrochemical sensor for dopamine
2019
Dopamine (DA) is one of the most important neurotransmitters that influences the processes that involve memory, sleep, mood, learning among others [1]. In fact, in the last years, dopamine concentration in human body fluids has been related to some neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson and Alzheimer's diseases [2]. The possibility to have a bio-marker for these disease is of extreme importance because, disease related with dementia, are diagnosed when they are already developed and their management become almost impossible. The possibility to continuously monitor DA level in fluids, such as blood and urine, could accelerate the early diagnosis of these diseases. The principal analyt…
Assessing the effectiveness of a game‐based phonics intervention for first and second grade English language learners in India: A randomized controll…
2021
Background In 2018, it was found that only a quarter of Grade 3 children in India were reading at grade level. A growing demand for English education has further limited children's literacy achievement. Despite a strong evidence base in favour of using systematic phonics for building English literacy skills, many teachers in India continue to use rote-methods of literacy instruction. Objectives We aimed to examine the efficacy of GraphoLearn (GL) English Rime, a computer-assisted reading intervention, in improving the foundational literacy skills of 1st and 2nd grade students who were attending an English medium school in India. Methods A total of 136 students across 6 classrooms were rando…
Ultra-Low Catalyst Loading as a Concept in Economical and Sustainable Modern Chemistry: The Contribution of Ferrocenylpolyphosphane Ligands
2007
The challenge of sustainability in modern chemistry will be met with new technologies and processes provided significant progress is made in several key research areas, such as the expansion of chemistry from renewable feedstock, the design of environmentally benign chemicals and solvents, the minimization of depletive resources, and the development of high-performance catalysis. In this prospect, ligand chemistry is a pivotal science that links modern-organic,-inorganic, -organometallic, and -coordination chemistry through a vast number of valuable applications, precisely associated to catalysis. We review in this article our recent work on catalysis promoted by original ferrocenyl tetra-,…
Metal‐Free Twofold Electrochemical C−H Amination of Activated Arenes: Application to Medicinally Relevant Precursor Synthesis
2020
Abstract The efficient production of many medicinally or synthetically important starting materials suffers from wasteful or toxic precursors for the synthesis. In particular, the aromatic non‐protected primary amine function represents a versatile synthetic precursor, but its synthesis typically requires toxic oxidizing agents and transition metal catalysts. The twofold electrochemical amination of activated benzene derivatives via Zincke intermediates provides an alternative sustainable strategy for the formation of new C−N bonds of high synthetic value. As a proof of concept, we use our approach to generate a benzoxazinone scaffold that gained attention as a starting structure against ca…
Analysis of pharmaceutical preparations containing antihistamine drugs by micellar liquid chromatography
2005
Rapid chromatographic procedures for analytical quality control of pharmaceutical preparations containing antihistamine drugs, alone or together with other kind of compounds are proposed. The method uses C18 stationary phases and micellar mobile phases of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) with either 1-propanol or 1-butanol as organic modifier. The proposed procedures allow the determination of the antihistamines: brompheniramine, chlorcyclizine, chlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, doxylamine, flunarizine, hydroxyzine, promethazine, terfenadine, tripelennamine and triprolidine, in addition to caffeine, dextromethorphan, guaifenesin, paracetamol and pyridoxine in different pharmaceutical …
Planetary activism at the end of the world: Feminist and posthumanist imaginaries beyond Man
2022
We are currently experiencing a planetary crisis that will lead, if worst comes to worst, to the end of the entire world as we know it. Several feminist scholars have suggested that if the Earth is to stay livable for humans and nonhumans alike, the ways in which many human beings – particularly in the wealthy parts of the world, infested with Eurocentrism, (neo)colonialism, neoliberalism, and capitalism – inhabit this planet requires radical, ethical, and political transformation. In this article, we propose that feminist theory, particularly feminist posthumanities, and Black feminist and decolonial thought, together with creative practices such as writing, have much to contribute to tra…
Untersuchungen �ber den Einflu� von Guanethidin (Ismelin�) auf die Katecholaminausscheidung im Harn von Hypertonikern
1973
Bei 5 Patienten mit essentieller Hypertonie wurde der Einflus einer einmaligen Injektion von 12,1 mg Guanethidinbase auf Blutdruck und Katecholaminausscheidung im Harn verglichen. Nach der Injektion des Antihypertensivums kam es zu einem Abfall der Noradrenalinausscheidung bei unveranderter Adrenalinausscheidung. Der am liegenden und am stehenden Patienten gemessene systolische und diastolische Blutdruck fiel nach Injektion des Pharmakons deutlich ab. Die Kreatininausscheidung im Harn anderte sich nicht.
Hematoma epidural lumbar crónico espontáneo
2005
Resumen Presentamos un caso excepcional de estenosis de canal lumbar con sindrome de cola de caballo por un hematoma cronico espontaneo en el espacio epidural L2-L3. Se trata de un varon de 53 anos que, sin ninguna clase de antecedente patologico relacionado con el problema actual (traumatismos, punciones lumbares, toma de antiagregantes o anticoagulantes), presenta una coleccion hematica epidural que va comprimiendo progresivamente la cola de caballo. Las pruebas de imagen mostraron una coleccion polilobulada, bien delimitada, que se interpreto como quiste sinovial. Tras la cirugia (laminectomia descompresiva y evacuacion) se confirmo el diagnostico con estudio histologico. Tras la operaci…
