A comprehensive study on transparent conducting oxides in compact microbial fuel cells: Integrated spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses for monitoring biofilm growth.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are an emerging technology that holds promise for renewable energy production and the mitigation of environmental challenges. This research paper introduces a single-compartment MFC reactor that utilizes transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), such as fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) and indium tin oxides (ITO), as the working electrodes. The effectiveness of MFCs based on FTO and ITO was evaluated by characterizing the transparent electrode and examining its performance during biofilm cultivation.

Low-Dose versus Conventional-dose Oral Isotretinoin Regimens: A Systematic Review on Randomized Controlled Comparative Studies of Different Regimens.

Background: The effectiveness of Isotretinoin is superior compared to other acne therapies, particularly in reducing acne lesion counts. Concerns, however, arise relating to the most optimal dosage regimen with the best efficacy and lesser side effect.

Objective: We intend to review existing randomized controlled comparative studies of isotretinoin in different regimens.

Difficulties in Diagnosis Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy of Childhood: A Case Report.

Acute necrotizing encephalopathy of childhood (ANEC) is a rare condition of encephalopathy which commonly occurs in healthy children. This case report will discuss the diagnostic approach in a female child, three years old, with neurologic deficits. The diagnostic approach of ANEC consists of clinical manifestation, laboratory examination, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, and neuroimaging interpretation.
