Unveiling the safety landscape: A comprehensive review of the toxicological profile of facial aesthetic implants and biomaterials.

Exploring diverse biomaterials and implants in the ear, nose, and throat by understanding adverse effects and post-usage events. Literature was obtained from Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on original research studies, case reports, and case series spanning from December 2010 to May 2022.

Multifunctional 2D FETs exploiting incipient ferroelectricity in freestanding SrTiO nanomembranes at sub-ambient temperatures.

Incipient ferroelectricity bridges traditional dielectrics and true ferroelectrics, enabling advanced electronic and memory devices. Firstly, we report incipient ferroelectricity in freestanding SrTiO nanomembranes integrated with monolayer MoS to create multifunctional devices, demonstrating stable ferroelectric order at low temperatures for cryogenic memory devices. Our observation includes ultra-fast polarization switching (~10 ns), low switching voltage (<6 V), over 10 years of nonvolatile retention, 100,000 endurance cycles, and 32 conductance states (5-bit memory) in SrTiO-gated MoS transistors at 15 K and up to 100 K.

Mass drug administration coverage evaluation for lymphatic filariasis in selected endemic districts of Jharkhand, India.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate mass drug administration (MDA) coverage for lymphatic filariasis (LF) in selected endemic districts of Jharkhand, India, and to identify household-level determinants of drug consumption.

Methods: A cross-sectional coverage evaluation survey was conducted in the Deoghar, Giridih and Godda districts of Jharkhand in 2023 within 6 wk of the completion of the MDA campaign. The survey included 9039 individuals from 1680 households across 56 randomly selected clusters (three urban, eight tribal and 45 rural).

From oxide epitaxy to freestanding membranes: Opportunities and challenges.

Motivated by the growing demand to integrate functional oxides with dissimilar materials, numerous studies have been undertaken to detach a functional oxide film from its original substrate, effectively forming a membrane, which can then be affixed to the desired host material. This review article is centered on the synthesis of functional oxide membranes, encompassing various approaches to their synthesis, exfoliation, and transfer techniques. First, we explore the characteristics of thin-film growth techniques with emphasis on molecular beam epitaxy.

A Rare Case of Nasal Rhinosporidiosis in the Santhal Pargana Region of Jharkhand: Clinical Presentation and Management.

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease affecting mucosal membranes, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. This case report presents a young male from Santhal Pargana, Jharkhand, who presented with nasal obstruction, epistaxis, and a mass in the right nasal cavity. Surgical excision and histopathological analysis confirmed rhinosporidiosis.
