Article Synopsis
  • - A 91-year-old bedridden man with a complex medical history presented with symptoms indicating possible aspiration pneumonia, but further evaluation uncovered nephrotic syndrome, hematuria, and joint pain.
  • - The diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) was considered due to characteristic symptoms and high inflammatory markers, even though a kidney biopsy couldn't be performed.
  • - Treatment with low-dose prednisolone led to significant improvements in the patient’s joint pain and overall health, highlighting the need to recognize PMR as a potential cause of nephrotic syndrome in elderly patients for better clinical outcomes.

Since the discovery of ferroelectricity in a wurtzite-type structure, this structural type has gathered much attention as a next-generation ferroelectric material due to its high polarization value combined with its high breakdown strength. However, the main targets of wurtzite-type ferroelectrics have been limited thus far to simple nitride/oxide compounds. The investigation of new ferroelectric materials with wurtzite-type structures is important for understanding ferroelectricity in such structures.
