Blood components are indicated in a wide variety of disease states. Although most transfusion therapies are administered uneventfully, there are a number of potential adverse transfusion reactions, some of which can assume serious dimensions. These reactions could occur during or even days after a transfusion. A brief description of the adverse effects of transfusion therapy has been outlined i...

Chemistry as a central science is facing a steadily increasing demand for new chemical entities (NCE). Innovative solutions, in all kinds of disciplines that depend on chemistry, require new molecules with specific properties, and their societal consequences are fundamental and pioneering. However, NCE not only demand a realistic structural space but also their feasibility poses challenges to s...

Recently, deeply bound pionic states were found experimentally in (d, 3 He) reactions on 208 Pb. They found an isolated peak structure in the bound region below the pion production threshold. We study theoretically these excitation functions in (d, 3 He) reactions on 208 Pb at T d =600 MeV. We found very good agreement with the (d, 3 He) excitation functions and could identify the underlying st...

Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are major events, reshaping competition among related firms (traditionally called rivals). Despite their seeming importance, most M&A studies have found only a limited empirical impact on rival stock prices. Our paper revisits this issue using a novel approach to characterize the degree of interactions among related firms based on their stock return correlations ...

Asthma is a complicated disorder, whose prevalence has increased over the past few decades.Asthma is characterized by infiltration of inflammatory leukocytes along with enhancedproinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Fungi are now far more widely being considered as thedominant extrinsic trigger for asthma. Fungi are linked to the severity of asthma in many ways. Somedifferences between studi...

natural rubber latex is the second most implicated agent in intraoperative anaphylactic reactions. this report describes a case of intraoperative anaphylaxis occurring in a non-atopic fourteen-year-old girl undergoing multiple surgical procedures, but without spina bifida, in which latex surgical gloves were the main culprit for the anaphylactic reactions. clinical manifestations of an anaphyla...

drug induced dystonic reactions are among common presentations of patients in emergency departments, and typically occur with antidopaminergic agents as their extra-pyramidal side effects. dystonic reactions usually occur within the first few hours or days after commencing a drug or dose increase. unlike other extra-pyramidal side effects, a patient may experience acute dystonic reactions (adrs...

While diabatic approaches are ubiquitous for the understanding of electron-transfer reactions and have been mooted as being of general relevance, alternate applications have not been able to unify the same wide range of observed spectroscopic and kinetic properties. The cause of this is identified as the fundamentally different orbital configurations involved: charge-transfer phenomena involve ...

In the present work, the regioselectivity for a series of Diels–Alder reactions (4 reactions) has beenstudied using hardness, electrophilicity and polarizability of products.Furthermore,thermodynamicand kinetic calculations have been done. In all results predicted pararegioisomer is more favorableregioisomerinthese investigated reactions.All calculations have been done at the DFT-B3LYP/6-31G(d)...
