Bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis is a pivotal process that underpins a diverse array of sustainable energy technologies, including electrolyzers and fuel cells. Metal selenides have been identified as highly promising candidates for oxygen electrocatalysts with electronic structure engineering that lies at the heart of catalyst design. Two-phase Fe-doped nitrogen carbon (NC)-supported nickel selenides were synthesized using a coordination polymer template.

Although vaccination can prevent it, without treatment, tetanus carries a high risk of death due to respiratory failure and autonomic disturbances. This case report describes a 24-year-old Indian male who developed tetanus after branding (a traditional procedure for jaundice in rural India) on his wrist.

Liposomal encapsulation of lactoferrin (LLf) offers a potential solution by improving its stability, absorption, and sustained release, making it a promising candidate for various clinical applications. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of LLf and plain Lf in cellular uptake, proliferation, and wound healing using HEK-293T and Caco-2 cell lines.

This report underscores the significance of accurate diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatment. We also emphasize the sequential events and findings, supported by relevant literature review, that contributed to establishing the correct diagnosis and guiding appropriate treatment decisions.
