Résumé
The transition metal complexes of Co[II], Ni[II], and Cu[II] derived from N'-[[5-[2,5-dichlorophenyl]furan-2- yl]methylene]-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide [L24] and N'-[[5-[2, 5-dichlorophenyl]furan-2-yl]methylene]benzohydrazide [L21] have been synthesized by conventional as well as microwave method being shorter time consuming, solvent less and gives improved yields as compared to the traditional conventional technique. These compounds were characterized by melting point, TLC, FTIR, 1 H-NMR, elemental analysis, potentiometric titration, ICP-OES and EIMS. From this analytical data it is confirmed that complexes are in octahedral structure with coordination number 6 which revealed 1:2 [metal:ligand]. FTIR data shows that these synthesized hydrazone ligands have ONO donor sites and coordinate with transition metal ions in a tridentate monobasic manner. All these synthesized compounds were tested for evaluation of antibacterial activity by agar disc diffusion assay and total antioxidant activity by Phosphomolybdenum method
Résumé
Study type: A prospective and descriptive study, which was conducted at Gynae/Obs OPD of Railway Hospital, Multan
Objectives: To know the prevalence, types and causes of anemia in pregnant women of Railway Colony, Multan
Methodology: Haemoglobin [Hb], blood counts, peripheral blood film, MCV estimation and abdominal ultrasonography were used as aids to clinical approach for evaluation of anemia
Results: Multiparity rate was 86% and 96%; having Hb <11.0 g/dl. Third trimester presentation was most frequent [88%]. Fetal loss was seen in 32%. Mean duration of marriage was 8.64 + 6.16 years, while mean income was 3.96 + 2.58 thousand rupees per month. Microcytic hypochromic anemia was observed in 76% women; 64% never used hematinics, while 12% had received blood transfusion during pregnancy or labour. No women had good dietary habits
Conclusions: A comprehensive approach is required regarding health education, and management of anemia in pregnant population
