Clinical management and successful pregnancy outcomes in women with empty Sella syndrome undergoing assisted reproductive technology: a case-based approach

Empty Sella syndrome (ESS) is a radiological condition characterized by a partially or completely flattened pituitary gland within the sella turcica, which may impact reproductive function. This case report presents two women with ESS undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Despite having ESS, patient A had a normal ovarian reserve and conceived after frozen embryo transfer (FET) and regulated ovarian stimulation. Patient B needed an oocyte donation program in order to achieve pregnancy because of their significantly reduced ovarian reserve (AMH=0.01 ng/ml). The fact that both patients were able to conceive shows how important it is to use customized assisted reproductive technology (ART) plans depending on ovarian function. ESS presents a heterogeneous impact on fertility, necessitating tailored treatment plans, including optimized ovarian stimulation, embryo transfer protocols, and donor oocyte utilization. A multidisciplinary approach involving reproductive endocrinologists and fertility specialists is crucial in managing ESS-related infertility to maximize pregnancy success

Overcoming poor ovarian reserve: a case report series of spontaneous conception after failed intracytoplasmic sperm injection

This case report addresses the possibility of spontaneous conception in women with diminished poor ovarian reserve (POR) after multiple failure of assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles, including intrauterine insemination (IUI) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Four cases were analyzed, including patients aged 31 to 41 years, each with a unique clinical profile for POR. These patients were infertile for durations of 5 to 12 years, as well as with other conditions like hypothyroidism and raised BMI. Recombinant FSH was used in all cases for ovarian stimulation, but the outcome was suboptimal with poor oocyte retrieval rates and fertilization failure. The cumulative follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) dose used in patients ranged from 1875 IU to 3000 IU. This strategy produced a low yield of oocytes, most of which were immature or failed to fertilize. Remarkably, all four patients subsequently conceived spontaneously and gave birth to healthy babies without additional ART treatments, despite the difficulty encountered in the ART cycles. The observation that spontaneous conception was successful in these complicated cases underscores the need for further studies into the mechanisms underlying such events to occur, especially in patients who have had multiple failure with ART. This case report underscores the merit of individualized treatment strategies and continued investigation into the determinants influencing fertility in women with POR

Manimekalai: Narratology view

Palentamil literature is the forerunner of modern literature. The richness of material and methods found in Palandami literature are the reasons for its pioneering. Modern literature has started following the tradition followed by those literatures. As multidisciplinary studies and studies based on various theoretical approaches develop, the hermeneutic approach takes an indispensable place. Among those who explained this approach, according to research method, K. Panchagam also P. Maruthanayak is also the foremost. The purpose of this article is to explain the elements of narrative narrative, narrative identification, order of performance, period, aesthetic discourse, and place of speech in Manimekalai, one of the double Epics

Magnetically separable rare earth metal incorporated CdFe2O4 photocatalyst for degradation of cationic and azo dyes

Herein, the present study illustrates hydrothermal synthesis of pristine and Gd doped CdFe2O4 nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles were analysed by various analytical methods to investigate the structural, vibrational, optical and morphological information about the photocatalysts. The surface area of the 2 % Gd-CdFe2O4was achieved to have greater value. The pristine and Gd (1 % and 2 %) – CdFe2O4 was investigated for its photocatalytic activity on reducing cationic and azo dyes. The photocatalyst showed efficiency of 90 % and 98 % for both cationic and azo dyes. The greater rate constant values of the photocatalysts revealed the better activity of hydroxyl radicals which took part majorly in photocatalysis. The stability of the sample was analysed and the stableness was same for about four cycles. The greater efficiency and better stability were attributed to the optimum dopant level of Gd ions into CdFe2O4 photocatalyst. The better recombination rate and hydroxyl radicals activity made the enthusiastic candidate for water remediation process.This work was supported by UGC-SAP, DST-FIST, DST-PURSE and RUSA grants. SP.

Pure and Ce-doped spinel CuFe₂O₄ photocatalysts for efficient rhodamine B degradation

Wastewater management is becoming a serious issue worldwide. To enhance the reuse of wastewater, one has to remove toxic pollutants present in it. High amount of dye is present in wastewater, and to remove these dyes is the large scope of this research. Herein, we report production of pure and Ce-doped copper ferrite via hydrothermal route. The synthesized nanoparticles were collected and analyzed by basic characterization techniques. The bandgap energy calculated for pure, 1% Ce, and 2% Ce-doped CuFe2O4 was found to be 2.77, 2.57, and 2.36eV, respectively. Reduction in bandgap was attributed to the doping element. The shape and size of pure and Ce-doped products were investigated using a scanning electron microscope. Agglomeration was observed in the pure copper ferrite sample. In the Ce-doped sample, agglomeration was clearly reduced and the 2% Ce-doped CuFe2O4 sample showed growth of small nanoparticles. They showed complete growth and were arranged in a uniform manner without agglomeration. The surface area of the 2% Ce-CuFe2O4 sample was found to be 65.89 m2/g with 7.02 nm pore diameter. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared material was observed for rhodamine B degradation. The pure and catalyst-added dye was exposed under visible light. The samples were tested for UV. The efficiency obtained for pure dye solution, pristine CuFe2O4-added, and 1% Ce and 2% Ce-doped CuFe2O4-added dye solutions were 48%, 50%, 66%, and 88% within 2 h of irradiation. The 2% Ce-doped CuFe2O4 sample showed excellent photocatalytic activity as the bandgap and morphology were enhanced by doping an appropriate ratio of Ce ions.This work was supported by UGC-SAP, DST-FIST, DST-PURSE, MHRD-RUSA grants

Facile hydrothermal synthesis of MXene@antimony nanoneedle composites for toxic pollutants removal

A new 2D transition metal carbides family noted that MXene with antimony (Sb) nano-needles composites have demonstrated potential applications for photocatalytic dye degradations applications. Single-step synthesis of novel structures two/one-dimensional MXene@antimony nanoneedle (MX@Sb-H) nanocomposite-based photocatalysts is produced employing hydrothermal technique. The preparations and characterizations were compared with hand mixture preparations of pure TiO2@Sb and MXene (MX@Sb-M). The crystallographic structure was identified employing X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies and main sharp XRD peaks were observed with diffraction angle with orientations planes for all three samples TiO2@Sb, MX@Sb-M and MX@Sb-H. The micro-Raman spectroscopy explored key vibration modes centered at 151.72 and 637.52 cm-1 corresponding to Ti and Sb hybrid composites respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrum of functional group peaks at 609.16 and 868.80 cm-1 revealed Ti-OH/Sb-O-C stretching. The morphological investigations of horizontal growth for "Sb" nanoneedle on MXene nanosheets were explored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The degradation efficiency was calculated. The efficiency calculated were 27%, 38%, 68% and 82% for MB solution, TiO2@Sb added MB, MX-Sb-M added MB and MX-Sb-H added MB solution and the efficiency were 32%, 38%, 50% and 65% for pure RhB solution, TiO2@Sb added RhB, MX-Sb-M added RhB and MX-Sb-H added RhB solution. The photocatalytic activity of TiO2@Sb, MX@Sb-M and MX@Sb-H was examined. Among these MX@Sb-H nanocomposite was demonstrated the high photocatalytic action in expressions of rate stability of photocatalytic dye degradations.This work was supported by MHRD RUSA - Phase 2, UGC-SAP, DST FIST, PURSE grants
