Gd-doped ceria with extraordinary oxygen-ion conductivity for low temperature solid oxide fuel cells.

Doped ceria has been extensively explored as an efficient electrolyte material for intermediate to low temperature solid oxide fuel cell. Among other ceria electrolytes, gadolinia doped ceria (GDC) is one of the most extensively studied electrolyte materials for low temperature SOFC applications. Here, co-precipitation method is employed to synthesize GDC nanoparticles with stoichiometric ratio of GdCeO (with 0   x   0.

Molecular Basis of Spina Bifida: Recent Advances and Future Prospectives.

Background: Spina bifida (SB) (spinal neural tube [NT] defects) is basically caused by an abnormality at the closure of the NT.

Materials And Methods: Molecular researchers have now got new etiopathogenesis of the defective neural tube closure. Although molecular mechanisms in the SB is really important taxation for further work.

Corneal status following modified Blumenthal technique of manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) compared to phacoemulsification in treatment of grade III or more nuclear sclerosis-cohort study.

Objective: To evaluate the endothelial cell loss and central corneal thickness in modified Blumenthal technique of MSICS and Phacoemulsification.

Method: A prospective study in which 50 cases of nuclear sclerosis grade III (LOCS III) or more were randomized in two groups of 25 each. Group A underwent modified Blumenthal MSICS.

Schmidt syndrome--a rare polyendocrinopathy.

Polyglandular auto-immune syndromes are rare entity. It is characterised by immune, dysfunction affecting two or more endocrine glands as well as certain non-endocrine organs. Diagnosing such cases could be challenging and misleading too.
