The development of efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) is pivotal for advancing cleaner and sustainable fuel production technologies. The conventional electrocatalysts have limited stability and higher overpotentials, and there is demand to explore advanced materials and synthesis methods. In this context, a novel bifunctional electrocatalyst has been devised through the phosphidation of tungsten molybdenum oxide (P-MoWHO) at relatively low temperatures.

- - Central venous catheterization is crucial for patients needing quick treatment, ongoing fluid management, and monitoring; the supraclavicular (SC) and infraclavicular (IC) methods are common techniques with their own pros and cons.
- - A systematic review analyzed 1040 articles, resulting in 28 studies that focused on the success and complications of the SC technique, revealing a success rate between 79% and 100% and a complication rate averaging around 4.27%.
- - The SC approach, having a lower access time and higher success rate compared to IC, should be more frequently utilized, and further research on using ultrasound guidance for SC catheterization is recommended.
Introduction: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory fever syndrome distinguished by recurrent attacks of spontaneous peritonitis, pleuritis, fever, and arthritis. It is specifically seen in the ethnic groups of Mediterranean origin, but sporadic cases have been reported in Eastern Europe and America due to migrations. There is a number of cardiac manifestations associated with FMF.

It is characterized by the formation of coronary artery thrombus which can be either due to plaque rupture, plaque erosion or rupture of a calcific nodule. The aim of study was to assess the plaque morphology leading acute coronary syndrome using OCT and to guide management based on its findings.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe report a fatal case of Lassa fever diagnosed in the United States in a Liberian traveler. We describe infection control protocols and public health response. One contact at high risk became symptomatic, but her samples tested negative for Lassa virus; no secondary cases occurred among health care, family, and community contacts.
