A Case of Statin-Induced Necrotizing Autoimmune Myopathy.

Statins, commonly used for hyperlipidemia and more importantly having proven efficacy in lowering cardiovascular risk, are a very popular class of medications. Side effects are usually mild, and the class as a whole is generally well-tolerated by patients. However, one rare and more serious side effect is statin-induced autoimmune necrotizing myopathy.

Optimizing germination conditions of Ghaf seed using ZnO nanoparticle priming through Taguchi method analysis.

Ghaf, a resilient tree in arid environments, plays a critical role in ecological restoration, desertification mitigation, and cultural heritage preservation. However, the seeds' inherent challenges, notably their hard outer coating restricting germination, emphasize the pressing need for innovative strategies. This work aimed to investigate the optimization of Ghaf seed germination process through seed priming with ZnO nanoparticles treatment (duration (t), concentration (c), temperature (T), and agitation (a), employing the Taguchi method for efficient experimental design.

Synthesis of Sn doped and rice husk derived activated carbon surface coating NMC 811 through solution combustion method.

Nickel rich cathode material is widely used in lithium-ion batteries due to its high capacity, low cost, and environmentally friendly. However, high nickel content leads to capacity decay, poor rate capability, thermal and structural instability. To overcome these drawbacks, in this work, nickel rich NMC 811 was doped with tin to form LiNiMnCoSnO with x = 0.

The Fabrication of Solid Polymer Electrolyte from CS/PEO/NaClO/Fly Ash Composite.

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have been successfully fabricated from CS/PEO/NaClO/Fly ash composite. Chitosan (CS), an organic polymer, was blended with polyethylene oxide (PEO) to enhance its electrochemical properties. However, SPEs based on CS/PEO composites have low conductivity.

Oxidation state, local structure distortion, and defect structure analysis of Cu doped α-MnO correlated to conductivity and dielectric properties.

Cu-doped MnO with the composition of MnCuO (x = 0-0.15) was synthesized and characterized. The synthesis was carried out by hydrothermal method at 140 °C for 5 h of reaction dwell time.
