Rate capability and electrolyte concentration: Tuning MnO supercapacitor electrodes through electrodeposition parameters.

Manganese dioxide (MnO) is a well-known pseudocapacitive material that has been extensively studied and highly regarded, especially in supercapacitors, due to its remarkable surface redox behavior, leading to a high specific capacitance. However, its full potential is impeded by inherent characteristics such as its low electrical conductivity, dense morphology, and hindered ionic diffusion, resulting in limited rate capability in supercapacitors. Addressing this issue often requires complicated strategies and procedures, such as designing sophisticated composite architectures.

Feasibility of the use of Kangaroo mother care in the transfer of preterm and low-birth-weight infants: a two-arm nonrandomized controlled cluster feasibility study of neonatal transport in Cape Coast, Ghana.

Background: Despite progress made towards SDG 3, sub-Saharan Africa lags behind the rest of the world, accounting for over 50% of global neonatal deaths. The increased number of hospital births in the region has not reciprocated the reduction in neonatal mortality rates. Sick newborns face uncertain journeys from peripheral facilities to specialized centres arriving in suboptimal conditions, which impacts their outcomes, due partly to the scarcity of dedicated neonatal transport services.

Quantifying Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Engagement in the Evolution of ICD-10 Codes.

Background: International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 code specificity is important for detailed diagnostic documentation. Insufficient coding granularity in plastic surgery may hinder accurate clinical documentation, impacting education, research, and patient care. This study examines ICD-10 code modification efforts by plastic surgeons and plastic surgery organizations within the last decade, subsequently detailing the formal proposal process and highlighting potential areas where coding modifications may be explored.

Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis Mimicking Temporal Arteritis.

This case represents the first diagnosis of pachymeningitis due to granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) in an elderly Iranian man who initially presented with persistent daily headaches. PCR tests of cerebrospinal fluid for tuberculosis, brucellosis, and fungal infections all yielded negative results. Given the pachymeningitis pattern observed on brain MRI and the absence of infectious and lymphoma diseases, along with positive anti-PR3 and proteinuria (793 mg in a 24-h urine sample), a diagnosis of GPA was established.
