Trimetallic Alloys as an Electrocatalyst for Fuel Cells: The Case of Methyl Formate on PtPdSn.

The shift toward renewable energy sources plays a central role in the quest for a circular economy. In this context, methyl formate (MF) has garnered attention as a compelling hydrogen carrier and alternative fuel, because of its remarkable characteristics (energy density, ease of storage and transport, and low boiling point). In this study, DFT calculations supported by online electrochemical mass spectroscopy (OE-MS) were performed to investigate the MF electro-oxidation (MFEO) on PtPdSn (111).

Common single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a systematic review.

Background: Several genetic variants are associated with the risk of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). These have not been systematically reviewed.

Methods: We searched the PubMed, Embase and GWAS Catalog databases for studies indexed between inception and 15 January 2024 describing genetic variants associated with IPF susceptibility.

Utilizing Next-Generation Sequencing: Advancements in the Diagnosis of Fungal Infections.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has emerged as a promising tool for diagnosing fungal infections. It enables the identification of a wide range of fungal species and provides more accurate and rapid results than traditional diagnostic methods. NGS-based approaches involve the sequencing of DNA or RNA from clinical samples, which can be used to detect and identify fungal pathogens in complex clinical samples.

Targeting Interleukin-13 Receptor α2 and EphA2 in Aggressive Breast Cancer Subtypes with Special References to Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy.

Breast cancer (BCA) remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. This review delves into the therapeutic challenges of BCA, emphasizing the roles of interleukin-13 receptor α2 (IL-13Rα2) and erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular receptor A2 (EphA2) in tumor progression and resistance. Highlighting their overexpression in BCA, particularly in aggressive subtypes, such as Her-2-enriched and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), we discuss the potential of these receptors as targets for chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies.

"TB - Mindedness"-the only way to beat "the great mimicker": A case series with atypical presentation of female genital tuberculosis.

Background: Incidence of Tuberculosis (TB) cases in India reported in 2019 is 193 per 1 lakh population [National Tuberculosis Elimination Plan (NTEP)]. In India, annual extra pulmonary TB burden is 20-25%, of which 4% of cases are of urogenital origin (Revised National TB Control Programme, 2019; World Health Organization, 2019). The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has made a target of eliminating tuberculosis by 2025 under the NTEP by the process of identification, notification and treatment of cases.
