The facile synthesis of and light-driven water splitting on a hetero-metallic bismuth oxide catalyst.

The process of water photo-electrolysis possesses the capability to generate sustainable and renewable hydrogen fuels, consequently addressing the challenge of the irregularity of solar energy. Thus, developing highly-efficient and low-cost electrocatalysts for the use in contemporary renewable energy devices is critical. Herein, we report the fabrication of a novel BaCeFeBiO nanocrystalline material through a one-step solvothermal route using a post-annealing process at 500 °C.

Gender disparities in isotretinoin prescribing patterns for pediatric patients before and during practice changes introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Isotretinoin is a systemic therapy approved for acne and has historically required lab monitoring in addition to adherence to the iPLEDGE Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) given the medication's teratogenic effects. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the expansion of telemedicine, acceptance of remote pregnancy tests, and relaxation of lab monitoring practices. A retrospective review of 142 pediatric patients was conducted, and multivariate linear regression was performed to examine differences in prescribing patterns pre-COVID and during COVID.
