Palm kernel meal (PKM) presents a challenge for non-ruminant livestock feeding due to its high fibre content predominantly in the form of mannan. Microbial fermentation offers a sustainable solution for fibre hydrolysis in lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, a Bacillus subtilis strain (F6), with high mannanase secretion capability, was isolated from the environment.

Developing bifunctional electrocatalysts from earth-abundant first-row transition metals for large-scale hydrogen production through water electrolysis is both promising and challenging. This study presents a ternary layered double hydroxide (LDH) as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and benzyl alcohol oxidation (BAOR). The synergy between 2D NiFeCo LDH and non-Ti-based NbCT MXene enhances electrochemical performance.

Introduction: Myasthenia gravis (MG) can be classified according to clinical features into ocular MG (OMG) and generalised MG (GMG). However, OMG carries the risk of conversion to GMG. In this study, we aimed to determine the predictive factors for the secondary generalisation of OMG patients.

Article Synopsis
  • Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are prevalent, particularly in older adults, leading to serious health issues and high healthcare costs, prompting a need for better prediction models.* -
  • A systematic review included eight studies on ADR-risk prediction tools for older adults, finding mixed results in their reliability and poor adherence to established reporting guidelines (TRIPOD).* -
  • The findings indicate a need for improved prediction models that are both validated and practical for real-world application to better assess their effectiveness and usability.*
