Theoretical Investigation on DABCO-Mediated aza Michael Reaction of Sulfonyli-Minoindoline and α,β Unsaturated Aldehyde to Construct 3-Sulfonyl α-Carboline

Nan Lu

The first theoretical investigation on DABCO-mediated aza-Michael reaction of sulfonyli minoindoline and α,β-unsaturated aldehyde was provided by our DFT calculation. First, 2-aminotosyl indole is given in equilibrium with 2-sulfonamidoindoline via deprotonation with the help of DABCO. Then, it…...

Postextubation Upper-Airway Obstruction Leading to Negative-Pressure Pulmonary Edema and Hypoxic Cardiac Arrest Despite Apparent Recovery After Sugammadex Reversal: A Case Report

Kyung Soo Ha, Kyu Nam Kim

Postextubation upper-airway obstruction may cause negative-pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) and, rarely, life-threatening cardiovascular collapse. Apparent clinical recovery after neuromuscular blockade reversal does not necessarily ensure adequate upper-airway function.

A 67-year-old…...

Formulation and Efficacy Testing of Nano-Biofertilizers in Reducing Chemical Fertilizer Dependence

Adeel Asghar

Chemical fertilizer overuse in Pakistan’s wheat systems has led to low nutrient use efficiency, soil degradation, and rising input costs, while conventional biofertilizers suffer from poor storage viability and rapid field decline. This study developed and evaluated a chitosan-zinc oxide…...

Knowledge, Attitude, and Prevention Practices Towards Sickle Cell Disease Among Adults in Isiala Mbano, Imo State, Nigeria: A Descriptive Survey

Ozuzu Augustine Ikenna

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is still a major inherited blood disease in Nigeria although the level of public knowledge of its mode of transmission, clinical manifestations and prevention is patchily documented at the community level. The knowledge, attitude and preventative behaviours of SCD among…...
