Metal-organic framework-enabled biomass conversion technologies for microalgae bio-refinery in the food industry.

Biomass is a valuable renewable energy adapted as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Apart from fuels, biomass is synthesized into highly valuable products that are used in various forms including biofuels, biochemical, bioproducts, packing material, and find practice in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals industries. Particularly, microalgae a third-generation feedstock known for its rich carbon content possesses protein lipids and carbohydrates produces a variety of green products such as bioethanol, biohydrogen, biodiesel, and biomethane, and also fixes carbon emission to a certain amount in the atmosphere.

Quantitative and comparative analysis of thermography parameters in posterior scleritis, choroiditis, and controls.

Purpose: To compare various ocular thermography parameters in posterior scleritis (PS), choroiditis (choroidal granuloma [CG], Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada [VKH] syndrome), central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), and healthy controls.

Methods: This retrospective, observational, comparative study evaluated cases undergoing ocular thermography between April 2017 and October 2023. The study groups included cases of PS, CG, and VKH, while the control group comprised CSCR cases and healthy individuals.

Sustainable remediation of pesticide pollutants using covalent organic framework - A review on material properties, synthesis methods and application.

Covalent organic frameworks (COF) have emerged as a potential class of materials for a variety of applications in a wide number of sectors including power storage, environmental services, and biological applications due to their ordered and controllable porosity, large surface area, customizable structure, remarkable stability, and diverse electrical characteristics. COF have received a lot of attention in recent years in the field of environmental remediation, It also find its way to eliminate the emerging pollutant from the environment notably pesticide from polluted water. This review more concentrated on the application of COF in pesticide removal by modifying COF structure, COF synthesis and material properties.

Bilateral retinal vasculitis due to presumed sarcoidosis with rickettsial retinitis.

Objective: To describe a case of bilateral retinal vasculitis due to presumed sarcoidosis and rickettsial retinitis complicated with neovascularization with tear biomarker analysis.

Methods: A retrospective case report.

Results: A 16-year-old male presented with bilateral retinal vasculitis and retinitis in both eyes with inferotemporal quadrant neovascularization in the right eye.

Realizing avalanche criticality in neuromorphic networks on a 2D hBN platform.

Networks and systems which exhibit brain-like behavior can analyze information from intrinsically noisy and unstructured data with very low power consumption. Such characteristics arise due to the critical nature and complex interconnectivity of the brain and its neuronal network. We demonstrate a system comprising of multilayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) films contacted with silver (Ag), which can uniquely host two different self-assembled networks, which are self-organized at criticality (SOC).

Management Dilemma in a Large Fungating Squamous Cell Carcinoma Over a Marjolin's Ulcer on the Chest Wall Coexisting With Severe Post-Burn Contracture of the Neck.

Marjolin's ulcer is a premalignant condition occurring over scars and chronically inflamed tissue. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy associated with Marjolin's ulcer. The progression of disease and metastasis is relatively slow due to scarring and meagre lymphatic and vascular supply over these scars.

A case report: Management dilemma in a large fungating squamous cell carcinoma over a Marjolin's ulcer on the chest wall coexisting with severe post burn contracture of the neck.

Introduction And Importance: Marjolin's ulcer is a premalignant condition occurring over scars and chronically inflamed tissue. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy associated with Marjolin's ulcer. These are rare tumors which spread locally and once infiltrating, may lead to distant spread.

Binaural Processing and Auditory Working Memory in Individuals with Tinnitus Having Normal Hearing Sensitivity.

Background: Tinnitus is a sound perceived in the ears or head without any external or internal sound source. It can be hypothesized that the auditory processing at the different levels of the auditory pathway and working memory may get affected due to the additional sound contributed by tinnitus. The objective of our study is to evaluate binaural processes and working memory capacity in individual with tinnitus having normal hearing sensitivity.
