Article Synopsis
- Hydatid cysts are caused by the larvae of the Echinococcus granulosus parasite, often affecting the liver, lungs, and spleen, but rare cases occur in the brain, making up 2%-3% of all hydatidosis instances.
- Involvement of the cerebrum can lead to nonspecific symptoms like raised intracranial pressure, which is especially important to consider in children from areas where the parasite is common.
- A case study highlighted a 9-year-old girl with severe headaches and vomiting, later diagnosed with a giant hydatid cyst in her brain, which was successfully treated through surgery.
Article Synopsis
- - Topotactic reduction is essential for phase transitions like the synthesis of the superconducting nickelate NdSrNiO, which is created from a NdSrNiO/SrTiO structure, but it's difficult to replicate due to its sensitive nature.
- - Research using synchrotron techniques shows that a thin surface layer on NdSrNiO is crucial for facilitating hydrogen introduction, removing apical oxygens, and stabilizing the structure without causing defects.
- - The study finds no significant geometric changes or hydrogen incorporation in the films affecting superconductivity, highlighting key structural aspects that can guide future work in nickelate superconductors.
Article Synopsis
- * Despite the mother taking folic acid supplements during pregnancy, her child was still born with occipital encephalomeningocele, a type of NTD.
- * The effectiveness of folic acid in preventing NTDs is recognized, but the exact connection between it and NTD causation is still not fully understood.
Article Synopsis
- * The study involves creating bilayer membranes of BaTiO and LaSrMnO using pulsed laser epitaxy, resulting in materials that exhibit both ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism at room temperature.
- * The findings suggest that freestanding heterostructures can alter magnetic properties without substrate strain, indicating potential for developing flexible multiferroic oxide membranes for electronic uses.
Background: We did this study to evaluate the prevalence of low birth weight among deliveries, adolescent pregnancy and advanced maternal age pregnancy. We also assessed the factors affecting the low birth weight among institutional deliveries at the level of primary hospital.
Methods: A hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional study was done in Grahun Primary Hospital of Syangja, Nepal using data maintained in register book over last five years.
Actinide materials have various applications that range from nuclear energy to quantum computing. Most current efforts have focused on bulk actinide materials. Tuning functional properties by using strain engineering in epitaxial thin films is largely lacking.

We did vigorous gastric lavage with saline, activated charcoal, and coconut oil. The other supportive treatment improved the outcome of the patient with complete resolution of symptoms.

- - The study investigated the incidence of adverse events following the Covishield vaccine among 1006 health workers in Nepal, noting both local and systemic reactions.
- - Findings revealed that 79.8% experienced adverse events, with tenderness at the injection site being the most common, and most symptoms resolved within a week.
- - The analysis indicated that females were more likely to report adverse events, while older age groups showed a lower likelihood, and individuals without prior COVID-19 testing had a higher risk of AEFI.
We have studied the magnetotransport properties and strain release mechanisms in ferroelastic La0.9Sr0.1MnO3 (LSMO) epitaxial thin films on SrTiO3 (STO)(001) substrates with different miscut angles.

We report on the growth of stoichiometric, single-crystal YCrO epitaxial thin films on (001) SrTiO substrates using pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy reveal that the films grew in a layer-by-layer fashion with excellent crystallinity and atomically smooth surfaces. Magnetization measurements demonstrate that the material is ferromagnetic below 144 K.

- The study uses polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) and density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the magnetic and electric properties at the interface of a ferroelectric PbZrTiO (PZT) and magnetic LaSrMnO (LSMO) in a heterostructure setup.
- By applying an external electric field through a Pt top electrode, the researchers observe changes in the magnetization and magnetic phases that respond to the switching of the ferroelectric polarization.
- The results indicate that strain and charge mediation play crucial roles in altering interfacial magnetic properties, with different effects observed at various length scales, revealing complex interactions between the ferroelectric and magnetic materials.
