Nebulized Magnesium Sulfate for Treatment of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of Newborn: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Elsayed Abdelkreem et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effectiveness of nebulized magnesium sulfate in treating persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborns. Results showed that the NebMag group had better outcomes in terms of oxygenation index, mean arterial blood pressure, vasoactive inotropic score, and serum magnesium level compared to the IVMag group. Larger studies are needed to confirm the potential of nebulized magnesium sulfate as a therapeutic modality for neonates with severe PPHN on mechanical ventilation.

Optical characterization and effects of iodine vapor & gaseous HCl adsorption investigation of novel synthesized organic dye based on thieno[2,3-b]thiophene

E. Kh. Shokr et al.

Summary: The comparison of absorption spectra for a specific azo dye compound under different conditions revealed smaller band gaps and higher absorption peak values near the solar maximum wavelength. Additionally, thin films prepared from this compound exhibited good adhesive properties to glass substrates and showed different responses to iodine vapor and HCl gas, suggesting reversible and irreversible adsorption processes, respectively. Furthermore, the solution of the azo dye compound demonstrated strong emissive properties, making it a promising candidate for fluorescence sensors.
