Anode-free all solid-state batteries (AF-ASSBs) employ "empty" current collector with three active interfaces that determine electrochemical stability; lithium metal - Solid electrolyte (SE) interphase (SEI-1), lithium - current collector interface, and collector - SE interphase (SEI-2). Argyrodite LiPSCl (LPSCl) solid electrolyte (SE) displays SEI-2 containing copper sulfides, formed even at open circuit. Bilayer of 140 nm magnesium/30 nm tungsten (Mg/W-Cu) controls the three interfaces and allows for state-of-the-art electrochemical performance in half-cells and fullcells.

Introduction: Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) have been the subject of substantial research by virtue of their utility across extensive downstream applications. Moreover, the ZnONPs are inexpensive, reliable, and easy to produce. Green synthesis employing biological systems, particularly plant extracts, has arisen as a subject of study in nanotechnology and is gaining importance due to its multiple applications in biology, chemistry, physics, and medicine.

Article Synopsis
  • - A 66-year-old man experienced increasing exertional chest pain, quickly worsening from NYHA class 2 to class 3, prompting medical investigation despite the lack of a clear trigger.
  • - ECG results indicated changes typical of Wellens' syndrome, usually linked to serious left anterior descending artery blockages, yet initial checks showed no significant atherosclerosis.
  • - Advanced imaging techniques, including coronary angiography and cardiac CT, identified a severe myocardial bridge in the LAD artery, highlighting the need to consider congenital anomalies in cardiac diagnosis and the importance of early recognition for effective treatment.

Rationale: Early mortality in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is due to hematoma volume (HV) expansion, and there are no effective treatments available other than reduction in blood pressure. Tranexamic acid (TXA) a hemostatic drug that is widely available and safe can be a cost-effective treatment for ICH, if proven efficacious.

Hypothesis: Administration of TXA in ICH patients when given within 4.

Organophosphorus poisoning poses a significant health threat, often resulting in high mortality and disability. The intermediate syndrome, characterized by muscle weakness in neck flexors and limbs, is prevalent. While uncommon, cases of vocal cord paralysis have been observed.
