Doped semiconductors are often used to improve photocatalytic efficiency and address the challenges of easy recombination of electron-hole pairs and poor photoluminescence. However, the reproducibility and complexity of experimental studies result in time-consuming and less cost-effective studies, and it is difficult to gain insights into the intrinsic properties of doped photocatalysts to control their performance. Introducing a machine learning approach, we constructed a photocatalytic model of transition-metal- and rare earth metal-ion-doped γ-BiMoO.

Objectives: To analyse the clinical and radiological outcomes of thoracic and thoracolumbar TB kyphosis by a posterior-only approach using kyphosis classification.
Methods: Patients with thoracic and thoracolumbar spinal TB who underwent posterior-only surgical correction for kyphotic deformity >30° were categorized into Group: A (Active TB) and Group B (Healed TB).
Study Design: Observational comparative study.
Objective: To study the role of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and T2 relaxometry (T2r) as imaging biomarkers for identifying early lumbar disc degeneration.
Methods: We evaluated 236 discs in normal volunteers and 215 discs in low back pain (LBP) patients by MRS and T2r to document the molecular spectra of various metabolites as well as disc hydration and collagen content, respectively.

Association of Ebstein's anomaly of tricuspid valve (TV) with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is extremely rare. Their coexistence is unique as they modify each other's physiology. We report a case of a girl child having this rare combination along with Diamond-Blackfan syndrome awaiting a bone marrow transplant.

Current treatments only show recovery in 50% of cases, and the disease often remains asymptomatic. Therefore, novel early detection methods and new biomarkers are crucial.
