Do Doctors and Engineers Think Differently?
Abstract: There exists an age old conflict of perception and execution between doctors and engineers and both think themselves to be better than the other. I realised it when once my wife, who is a metallurgical engineer, told me that doctors have a specific way of thinking and doing things which is different from similar things done by engineers. Is there a sort of technical rivalry between the doctors and engineers …

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: A Narrative Review of Diagnosis and Treatment by drugs and novel agents.
Abstract: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is an infrequent but fatal disease, is primarily caused by autoantibodies against the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving metalloprotease ADAMTS13. Overall, severe deficiency of plasma ADAMTS13 action (< 10 IU dL-1) with or without noticeable inhibitory autoantibodies counter to ADAMTS13 supports the diagnosis of TTP. The International Working Group for TTP released a consensus statement on the standardization of terminology in these disorders which we use …

Arsenic Induced Oxidative Stress and Its Possible Reversal by Chelation Therapy
Abstract: Arsenic (As) is a metalloid listed in group Va of the periodic chart. It exists in nature in the oxidation states +V (arsenate), +III (arsenite), 0 (arsenic) and −III (arsine). In the aqueous environment inorganic arsenic appears commonly in the oxidation states +V and +III as arsenous acid (As (III)), arsenic acid (As (V)), and their salts. Chronic and acute exposures of arsenic leads to cancer, cardiovascular disease (hypertension and …

Synthesis and Characterization of TiO2 1% SiO2 of Crystal and its Bacterial Applications
Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) TiO2 Anatase and Rutile structures have attracted much attention due to their optical properties. However, the large band gap of (3.2 eV) results in the fact that anatase TiO2 can act as photo catalyst and be excited by UV light, which only accounts for 3–5% of the solar energy. On considering that nobel metallatic nanomaterials can harvest visible light, in this paper, TiO2 and SiO2 nanocrystals with rod …
