A Rare Case of Giant Epignathus (Teratoma) of Left Palatine Tonsil: A Case Report.

Teratomas are rare tumors that originate from all three primary germinal layers and can develop anywhere along the body's midline, most commonly in the sacrococcygeal area. Within the head-and-neck region, they are infrequent, especially in the oropharyngeal area, and predominantly occur in infants. This case report presents an unusual instance of a teratoma in the left palatine tonsil, also known as giant epignathus, of a 25-year-old female.

A Novel Biosensing Approach: Improving SnS FET Sensitivity with a Tailored Supporter Molecule and Custom Substrate.

The exclusive features of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, such as high surface-to-volume ratios, tunable electronic properties, and biocompatibility, provide promising opportunities for developing highly sensitive biosensors. However, developing practical biosensors that can promptly detect low concentrations of target analytes remains a challenging task. Here, a field-effect-transistor comprising n-type transition metal dichalcogenide tin disulfide (SnS ) is developed over the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) for the detection of streptavidin protein (Strep.

Low-Power Negative-Differential-Resistance Device for Sensing the Selective Protein via Supporter Molecule Engineering.

Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures composed of atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials have more potential than conventional metal-oxide semiconductors because of their tunable bandgaps, and sensitivities. The remarkable features of these amazing vdW heterostructures are leading to multi-functional logic devices, atomically thin photodetectors, and negative differential resistance (NDR) Esaki diodes. Here, an atomically thin vdW stacking composed of p-type black arsenic (b-As) and n-type tin disulfide (n-SnS ) to build a type-III (broken gap) heterojunction is introduced, leading to a negative differential resistance device.

Supramolecular assembly of protein building blocks: from folding to function.

Several phenomena occurring throughout the life of living things start and end with proteins. Various proteins form one complex structure to control detailed reactions. In contrast, one protein forms various structures and implements other biological phenomena depending on the situation.

Enhanced efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells using polymer-coated bilayer zinc oxide nanocrystals as the multifunctional electron-transporting layer.

A novel polymer-coated ZnO based bilayer electron transporting material is investigated for highly efficiency perovskite solar cells. The bilayer ETM consisting of an upper-layer of ZnO nanosheets and a lower-layer of ZnO nanoparticles demonstrates the averaged power conversion efficiency of 13.11% and a maximum power conversion efficiency of 15.

Child Neurology: An infant with episodic facial flushing: A rare case and review of congenital harlequin syndrome.

Congenital harlequin syndrome is rare dysautonomia of the face most often reported in adults and rarely in infants and children. It is a diagnosis of exclusion and a seemingly benign condition. We report a case of a 6-month-old girl with episodic unilateral and bilateral facial flushing provoked upon awakening and resolved with sleeping with associated autonomic features consistent with harlequin syndrome.
