: Iron supplementation for blood donors is a controversial concept. However, to maintain regular blood donors, as a source of blood supply, the present paradigm is not appropriate and dose not prevent harms to blood donors. Methods: A randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study, was conducted by enrolling 95 female regular blood donors of childbearing age (18-49 years). The participants...

The selective and efficient reduction of carbon dioxide represents a key solution to producing non-fossil-fuel-based feedstocks for the chemical industry, while alleviating increasing atmospheric concentration this greenhouse gas. A variety catalytic methods CO2 reaction (CO2RR) have been developed, including hydrogenations electrochemical or photochemical reductions. For many most significant ...

We report an organic emitter containing a β-triketone electron acceptor core and phenoxazine as the donors (TPXZBM) for solution-processed light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The resulting molecule is very unusual because it shows both thermally activated delayed fluorescence intramolecular proton transfer. compare its performance with previously reported diketone analogue PXZPDO. Solution-processed...

introduction:blood-borne infectious agents are one of the main anxieties of blood transfusion organization in all countries. according to who, the blood healthy and blood safety is included ensuring and monitoring of quality and efficiency for all patients requiring blood transfusion. we at the current study intend that survey prevalence hiv ab, hcv ab, hbs ag among blood donors refer to the bl...

The transport of 2-keto-D-gluconate (alpha-D-arabino-2-hexulopyranosonic acid; 2KGA) in vesicles prepared from glucose-grown Pseudomonas putida occurs by a saturable process with a Km of 110.0 +/- 2.9 microM and a Vmax. of 0.55 +/- 0.04 nmol X min-1 X (mg of protein)-1. The provision of phenazine methosulphate/ascorbate or L-malate leads to an accumulation of intravescular 2KGA, a decrease in t...

The clinical significance of ABO and Rhesus blood group systems has been well documented. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of ABO and Rhesus blood groups in blood donors in Lahore, Pakistan, with a view to generate data with multipurpose future practicalities in the field of medicine. Blood groups of 3000 blood donors were determined by commercially available standard ...

In the present study we have investigated the influence of light and anoxia on the energetic state of the aerobic anoxygenic phototroph (AAP) Dinoroseobacter shibae. Respiration, chemiosmotic proton translocation and the adenylate energy charge (AEC) of the cells were measured comparing light versus dark and oxic versus anoxic conditions. Light caused a decrease of the respiration rates of wash...

sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (speek) with a low degree of sulfonation (ds = 40%) was prepared for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (pemfc). poly (ether ether ketone) (peek) was sulfonated in concentrated h2so4 under n2 atmosphere and characterized by the hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (h-nmr) technique. after preparation of the speek polymer, the obtained polymer was dissolved i...

proton exchange membrane fuel cells (pemfcs) are electrochemical devices that show the highest power densities compared to the other type of fuel cell. in this work, nanocomposite membranes used for proton exchange membrane fuel cells as poly(vinyl alcohol)/la2ce2o7 (pva-lc) with the aim of increasing the water uptake and proton conductivity. glutaraldehyde (ga) was used as cross linking agent ...
