Cardiac hydatid disease which is caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granuloses is the rarest yet significant presentation which is characterized by the formation of cystic lesions within the heart. It is not as common as hepatic, pulmonary hydatidosis, hence poses a unique diagnostic challenge. It may lead to severe complications like cardiac tamponade, embolism and arrhythmias.

The NHCNT promoting electron transport pathways in electrocatalyst, and formation of holes in nanotubes further enables excellent diffusion of ions for promoting the overall reaction rate. An excellent combination of 1D/2D structure of NHCNT/Ni─MOF-4 electrocatalyst exhibits excellent oxygen evolution reaction (η = 207.

The synthesized MnO@DEHP nanoprobe was characterized by various instrumental techniques such as FT-IR, PXRD, TEM, EDAX, HRTEM, DLS, and XPS. Since the high concentration of Fe in waste water leads to water pollution, which in turn affects the ecosystem, and causes severe health hazards.
