Crystal property and spectroscopic investigation on electro-optic and physico-chemical properties of NLO crystal; 3-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)-L-Alanine

In this attempt, in order to obtain high-quality NLO crystal, organic compound; 3-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)-L-Alanine crystal was fabricated. The organic-composite crystal was characterized by crystallographic and spectroscopic tools. The NLO supported parameters like crystal lattice (orthorhombic) and space group (P212121) examined and validated by XRD examination. The SHG test was carried out and SHG efficiency was calculated that1.29 and 1.35 times greater than solid KDP crystal. The laser damage threshold energy density was determined to be 14.51 GW/cm2. By the application of mulliken charge assignment, multiple dielectric cavities were found in crystal material which is able to process the high degree of birefringence gradient. The oscillating chemical potential movement was observed by examining chemical shift, among the core carbons of hexagonal ring and bridge carbons of chain. The chemical softness insists the binding viability of further ligand groups. The π and δ-conjugated interactive complex orbitals recognized on molecular site and participation in optical active mechanism was identified. UV-Visible transmission characteristics of crystal were studied and UV-Visible absorption on degenerate energy states was noted and its band gap energy was estimated. The CT complex of the present case was acknowledged to be COOH group and it causing crystal properties of current organic composite. The hyperactive polarizability was determined as 1775.05 × 10-33 esu and it was found to be five times greater than thiourea. The depletion energy between highly electrophilic zones and protonic zones was estimated to be ±5.241 e 2 causing permanent dielectric characteristics for the title organic composite. The non-superposable on the molecular mirror image was displayed and thereby optical ability was validated.

Structural activity analysis, spectroscopic investigation, biological and chemical properties interpretation on Beta Carboline using quantum computational methods

In this methodological work, the structural activity analysis have been carried out on β-Carboline to study the anti cancer activity and the way of improving the biological activity. The molecular spectroscopic tools were used to evaluate all the experimental data like spectral results and data were validated by the computational, HyperChem and Osiris tools. The structural, biological and physico-chemical related analyses have been performed to interpret the properties. The GPCR ligand calculated to be 0.11 for generating pharmacokinetic process, Specified drug information for the compound, was congregated from all types of structural activity which was drawn by spectral and HyperChem data. The σ and π interaction band gap (6.18 eV) ensured the drug consistency. The Mulliken charge process distribution was mapped, the charge orientation assignment was checked; the acquired negative charge potential consignment for the cause of antibiotic impact was verified. The molecular orbital interaction study was carried out to identify the origination of degeneracy of interaction causing drug mechanism. Using NMR spectral pattern, the chemical reaction path was recognized and the nodal region dislocation was distinguished on chemical shift. The Electronegativity (χ) and Electrophilicity charge transfer found to be 3.83 and 0.215, confirmed charge complex transfer for activating drug process in the compound. The molecular nonbonding section was thoroughly observed in order to find the occupancy energy, was the key process to initiate drug activity. The bathochromic electronic shift was observed and the existence of CT complex was discussed. The hindering of toxicity was inspected on inevitable chirality of the compound by specifying VCD spectrum.

TM3-1 Idiopathic intracranial hypertension: consensus guidelines on investigation and management

Objectives

The aim was to capture interdisciplinary expertise from a large group of clinicians, reflecting practice from across the UK and further, to inform subsequent development of a national consensus guidance for optimal management of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

Design

Consensus guideline critically reviewed by the Association of British Neurologists, British Association for the Study of Headache, the Society of British Neurological Surgeons and the Royal College of Ophthalmologists.

Subjects

An initial UK survey of attitudes and practice in IIH was sent to a wide group of physicians and surgeons.

Methods

Between September 2015 and October 2017 a specialist interest group including neurology, neurosurgery, neuro-radiology, ophthalmology, nursing, primary care doctors, and patient representatives met. A comprehensive systematic literature review was performed to assemble the foundations of the statements.

Results

Over twenty questions were constructed: One based on the diagnostic principles for optimal investigation of papilloedema and twenty-one for the management of IIH. 3 main principles were identified:

to treat the underlying disease;

to protect the vision and

to minimise the headache morbidity.

Statements presented provide insight to uncertainties in IIH where research opportunities exist.

Conclusions

In collaboration with many different specialists, professions and patient representatives we have developed guidance statements for the investigation and management of adult IIH.

Knowledge on Bone Banking among Participants in an Orthopaedic Conference: A Preliminary Survey

Despite increasing use of bone graft in Malaysia, there was still lack of data to quantify knowledge level on bone banking among orthopaedic community who are involved in transplantation related work. Therefore, a survey on awareness in tissue banking specifically bone banking, usage and choice of bone grafts was conducted. From 80 respondents, 82.5% were aware about tissue banking however only 12.5% knew of the existence of tissue banks in Malaysia. Femoral head was the bone allograft most often used as a substitute to autograft. Only 34.8% respondents preferred irradiated bone grafts whilst 46.9% preferred nonirradiated, indicating the need to educate the importance of radiation for sterilising tissues. Exhibition was the most preferred medium for awareness programme to disseminate information about bone banking in the orthopaedic community. The professional awareness is necessary to increase the knowledge on the use of bone graft, hence to increase bone transplantation for musculoskeletal surgeries in the country.
