Effect of Fe Concentration and Superheating on the Microstructure and Tensile Properties of High Mg 413.0-Type Alloys: Role of Sr, Be, P, and La.

The present work was undertaken to explore the multiple alloys and process steps that have been suggested to mitigate the harmful effects of high iron content in cast Al-Si alloys. The base alloy used was ommercial 413.0 alloy containing 0.

Pregnancy with a Left Ventricular Assist Device: A Narrative Review.

This narrative review discusses the various challenges associated with the presence of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) during pregnancy. Given the hemodynamic and coagulation changes associated with pregnancy, the presence of an LVAD adds a layer of complexity with respect to optimal management. This review will discuss the anesthetic considerations when dealing with this subset of patients who may have other comorbidities alongside their advanced heart failure.

Photocatalytic degradation of crystal violet using yttrium and copper co-doped nickel aluminate.

Spinels are known for their enhanced photocatalytic activity which demonstrates as one of the promising solutions for the conversion of harmful organic dyes into simpler, less harmful molecules like CO and HO. In this study, spinel nickel aluminate, copper-doped nickel aluminate, and yttrium, copper co-doped nickel aluminate were synthesized using the sol-gel process with citric acid as a capping agent. The synthesized compounds were characterized by various techniques, including XRD, UV-DRS, XPS, and SEM-EDAX, and tested for their photocatalytic activity against the crystal violet dye under UV light.

Occult liver nodules: their detection and characterization with CEUS.

Objectives: Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) now joins the ranks of CT and MRI for noninvasive diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). CEUS LI-RADS provides greater than 95% specificity for diagnosis within LR-5. Unlike CT/MRI, CEUS is nodule based.

From Crisis to Cure: The Resilient Recovery of a Patient With Tetanus.

Tetanus is a severe neurological condition triggered by the toxin of , resulting in extreme muscle stiffness and spasms. Although vaccination can prevent it, without treatment, tetanus carries a high risk of death due to respiratory failure and autonomic disturbances. This case report describes a 24-year-old Indian male who developed tetanus after branding (a traditional procedure for jaundice in rural India) on his wrist.
