Energy scarcity and environmental pollution have prompted research in hydrogen generation from solar to develop clean energy through highly efficient, effective, and long-lasting photocatalytic systems. Designing a catalyst with robust stability and an effective carrier separation rate was achieved through heterostructure assembly, but certain functionalities must be explored. In this paper we designed a ternary heterostructure assembly of CdS nanospheres wrapped with hierarchical shell walls of layered MXene-tagged MoS nanoflakes, forming intimate interfaces through an in-situ growth process.

Introduction: Costoclavicular brachial plexus block has become a procedure of choice for surgical anaesthesia or analgesia in upper limb surgery. The technique is not standardised yet, and two approaches are currently employed: the medial and lateral approach. Our study aims to compare the two approaches in terms of performance time and patient-specific clinical outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • - The survey aimed to assess parents' attitudes, knowledge, and perceptions regarding myofunctional appliances in Chennai through a web-based questionnaire involving 500 participants.
  • - Results revealed that a significant majority (79.8%) of parents recognize skeletal problems, with about 70% willing to recommend myofunctional treatments and 69% acknowledging their importance for corrections.
  • - The study concluded that while most parents are informed about functional appliances and skeletal issues, there is a need for increased awareness to properly diagnose these problems at the right age.

Ranjith K.The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of a proposed bevacizumab biosimilar (DRL_BZ) with the innovator Avastin (reference medicinal product [RMP]) in patients with nonresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) over a period of 9 months and advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) over 6 months. The study was planned as a randomized, double-blind trial.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on creating effective electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reactions (OER) and urea oxidation reactions (UOR) using heterostructure nanocubes made from cobalt oxysulfide (CoOS) and cobalt iron layered double hydroxide (CoFe).
  • A hydrothermal method is used for synthesizing these nanocubes, which enhances their electrocatalytic performance by altering electronic structures through specific interface interactions.
  • The optimal catalysts demonstrate strong OER and UOR activities with cell voltages of 1.63 V and 1.56 V respectively, and they show durability in an alkaline electrolyzer setup.
