A sensitive fluorometric method for the determination of deferiprone (DFP) based on the formation of a luminescent complex with Tb3+ ions in aqueous solutions is reported. The maximum excitation and emission wavelengths were 295 and 545 nm, respectively. The effects of various factors on the luminescence intensity of the system were investigated and optimized, then under the optimum conditions,...

The photooxidation of a mustard-gas simulant, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES), is studied using a porphyrin-based metal-organic framework (MOF) catalyst. At room temperature and neutral pH value, singlet oxygen is generated by PCN-222/MOF-545 using an inexpensive and commercially available light-emitting diode. The singlet oxygen produced by PCN-222/MOF-545 selectively oxidizes CEES to the c...

Experts’ summary: This publication [1] addresses the long-awaited data on patients diagnosed with prostate cancer in the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) era that were randomized between active monitoring (n = 545), radical prostatectomy (+/– lymph node dissection; n = 553), and radiotherapy (plus 3–6 mo androgen deprivation therapy; n = 545). In total, 1643 out of 2664 patients agreed to be ran...

A COVID-19 é uma doença declarada pandêmica pela Organização Mundial de Saúde, responsável por causar desde manifestações gripais a síndrome respiratória aguda grave nos infectados. Tendo em vista constante exposição e risco contaminação dos profissionais da saúde, esse estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar produção científica acerca vulnerabilidade dessa população no contexto pandemia COVID-1...

Abstract Introduction We report outcomes for patients in which the IPP became unusable by patient because of pump difficulties or inadequate fluid volume system. Objective sought to assess penile implant single component exchange instillation a cohort patients, challenging entire device replacement dogma. Methods 17 underwent surgeon. CT scan was obtained ensure integrity, air system, and delin...
