The carbon footprint associated with cement production, coupled with depletion of natural resources and climate change, underscores the need for sustainable alternatives. This study explores the effect of metakaolin (MK) and nano-silica (NS) on concrete's engineering performance and environmental impact. Initially, compressive, tensile, and flexural strength tests, along with durability assessments like water absorption, sorptivity, rapid chloride permeability, and resistance to acid and sulphate attacks, were conducted.

- Variants associated with neurodevelopmental impairments in children are complex and challenging to evaluate due to their diverse nature and unclear causes.
- The study highlights a case of a child with neonatal-onset epilepsy and a specific genetic variant (G256W) that impacts ion channel function and leads to reduced cell stability and conduction in nervous tissue.
- The research also establishes a mouse model that exhibits epilepsy and hyperexcitability in brain cells, linking the genetic variant to observable neurological behaviors and suggesting potential wider implications for understanding similar conditions in other patients.
Objective: To report a single tertiary center experience in the management of prenatally diagnosed cases of fetal ascites and their postnatal outcomes.
Methods: Prenatally diagnosed fetal ascites cases were retrospectively analyzed from 2015 to 2022 using two-dimensional ultrasound with other investigations as required in a tertiary care center.
Results: Of 126 fetuses with fetal ascites, 70 progressed to hydrops and hence were excluded from the study.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate a possible association between Herpes Zoster (HZ) and the subsequent diagnosis of breast cancer (BC).
Methods: Utilizing the Disease Analyzer database, anonymized medical records from German office-based practices were accessed. Longitudinal data of female patients aged 18 years and above diagnosed with HZ between 2005 and 2021 were included.
