Ab initio insight into the physical properties of MgXH (X = Co, Cu, Ni) lead-free perovskite for hydrogen storage application.

Renewable energy systems are vital for a sustainable future, where solid-state hydrogen storage can play a crucial role. Perovskite hydride materials have attracted the scientific community for hydrogen storage applications. The current work focuses on the theoretical study using density functional theory (DFT) to evaluate the characteristics of MgXH (X = Co, Cu, Ni) hydrides.

Deciphering cervical cancer-associated biomarkers by integrated multi-omics approach.

Objectives: Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CESC) is one of the most fatal female malignancies, and the underlying molecular mechanisms governing this disease have not been fully explored. In this research, we planned to conduct the analysis of Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) cervical squamous cell carcinoma microarray datasets by a detailed approach and to explore some novel biomarkers of CESC.

Methods: The top commonly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from the GSE138080 and GSE113942 datasets were analyzed by Limma package-based GEO2R tool.

Protective role of lycopene on blood haematology parameters in liver cirrhosis: Study in rats.

The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of lycopene supplementation on blood haematology parameters in thioacetamide induced liver cirrhosis. Experimental period consisted of 12 weeks, divided into two phases. For this purpose 24 male albino wistar rats were randomly distributed into four groups (n=6).

Development of Antibacterial, Degradable and pH-Responsive Chitosan/Guar Gum/Polyvinyl Alcohol Blended Hydrogels for Wound Dressing.

The present research is based on the fabrication preparation of CS/PVA/GG blended hydrogel with nontoxic tetra orthosilicate (TEOS) for sustained paracetamol release. Different TEOS percentages were used because of their nontoxic behavior to study newly designed hydrogels' crosslinking and physicochemical properties. These hydrogels were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and wetting to determine the functional, surface morphology, hydrophilic, or hydrophobic properties.

"I Can't Move My Arms and Legs": A Rare Cause of Hypokalemia-Induced Quadriparesis.

Hypokalemia is a relatively common electrolyte abnormality in hospitalized patients. Severe hypokalemia (<2.5 mEq/L) can lead to profound muscle weakness or paralysis, especially in the setting of acute onset of hypokalemia.

Peritonsillar Phlegmon: An Addition to the Spectrum of COVID-19.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was first reported in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, then declared to be a pandemic associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. It has shown to exhibit a vast array of symptoms, among which fever, shortness of breath, and cough are the most commonly reported. Lymphadenopathy and tonsillar enlargement is a less common finding reported with this infection.

A Mysterious Paratracheal Mass: Parathyroid Carcinoma.

Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. We detail a 60-years-old gentleman who was otherwise healthy presented to the hospital due to acute encephalopathy. He was subsequently found to have parathyroid carcinoma as the cause of the acute encephalopathy with impressive serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels.

Hypercalcemia Due to Paraneoplastic Production of 1,25- Dihydroxyvitamin D in a Young Female with Dysgerminoma.

Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM) can be caused by ectopic paraneoplastic production of 1, 25 dihydroxy vitamin D due to the hyperactivity of the 1 alpha-hydroxylase enzyme. We present a case of a 19-year-old female who was admitted with bilateral dysgerminomas and significant hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia was initially managed medically and then resolved with the surgical resection of the tumors.

Dapagliflozin-induced Late-onset Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis.

Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a class of oral hypoglycemics that improve glycemic control by increasing the urinary excretion of glucose. They gained widespread popularity because they not only showed improved glycemic control but also had a favorable effect on weight loss, blood pressure, and cardiovascular mortality. One of their rare side effects is euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (eDKA) although the diagnosis is sometimes difficult to make due to near-normal glucose levels.

Nivolumab-induced adrenalitis.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are an evolving class of drugs for the treatment of various cancers; for example, their use is recommended as a second-line chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer. With the expanding use of ICIs, we are discovering their unique side effects, called immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which can impair gastrointestinal, hepatic, dermatological, endocrine and other systems. Nivolumab is an ICI that blocks the human programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) on T cells to prevent the interaction between the receptor, PD-1, and human programmed death ligand-1 expressed on tumour cells.

Can inhaled heroin be a cause of bilateral globus pallidus ischemic injury?

Introduction: Bilateral globus pallidus lesions have been characteristically thought to be associated with global cerebral hypoperfusion and hypoxic changes. One of the important causative factors that need to be considered is the opiate drug abuse.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a 50-year-old male who came to the hospital after being found down for 3 hours.

A Case of Fibroelastoma with Widespread Embolism to the Brain, Kidney, and Spleen.

Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma (CPF) is the second most common primary cardiac tumor, which is diagnosed incidentally or with embolic phenomena, mostly in the form of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) and stroke. We present a case of a 58-year-old female who presented with fatigue and low-grade fever and was found to have multiple systemic infarcts. Her blood cultures and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) were negative, ruling out infective endocarditis.

Thyrotoxicosis factitia: a rare cause of junctional rhythm and cardiac arrest.

Thyrotoxicosis factitia is a hyperthyroid state due to the accidental or deliberate thyroxine ingestion. It can have many complications depending upon the organ involved. We present a case of a heavy built athlete presenting with cardiac arrest, who was found to be abused the thyroxine hormone for bodybuilding.
