FeS-based nanocomposites: A promising approach for sustainable environmental remediation - Focus on adsorption and photocatalysis - A review.

Population expansion, industrialization, urban development, and climate changes increased the water crisis in terms of drinking water availability. Among the various nanomaterials for nanoremediation towards water treatment, FeS-based nanocomposites have emerged as promising candidates in the adsorptive and photocatalytic removal of contaminants. This paper, therefore, evaluates the potential of FeS-based nanocomposites for environmental applications, more specifically the combined use of adsorption and photocatalysis.

Powering the Future by Iron Sulfide Type Material (FeS) Based Electrochemical Materials for Water Splitting and Energy Storage Applications: A Review.

Water electrolysis is among the recent alternatives for generating clean fuels (hydrogen). It is an efficient way to produce pure hydrogen at a rapid pace with no unwanted by-products. Effective and cheap water-splitting electrocatalysts with enhanced activity, specificity, and stability are currently widely studied.

Valproate Induced Hyperammonemic Encephalopathy.

Valproate is a commonly prescribed anticonvulsant drug. It has a potential to cause hyperammonemia even in the presence of normal liver function tests. This hyperammonemic state can lead to encephalopathy referred as Valproate induced hyperammonemic encephalopathy (VHE).

Ciprofloxacin-Induced Acute Delirium in a Young Female.

Ciprofloxacin is a commonly used drug in our setup. Neurological disturbances are rare side effects of its use and are reported in older adults, patients with comorbidities, or patients with a background of psychiatric illness and antipsychotic drug use. We report the case of a 21-year-old female who developed delirium after taking ciprofloxacin for a urinary tract infection.

Thrombotic Sequela of Asymptomatic COVID-19 Infection.

Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is known to be associated with thrombotic events like ischemic stroke. However, in the case of mild or asymptomatic disease, a thrombotic event like ischemic stroke is rare and has never been reported in our country. We present the case of a 28-year-old male patient with no co-morbidities who was diagnosed to have ischemic stroke involving the basilar artery.

Massive haemorrhage: an unusual presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) usually affects young females and its presentation with haemorrhage is unusual. Intracerebral bleed (ICB) has been described in a few case reports, but massive haematuria has not been reported in the literature so far. Here, we present a case of a 56 year-old-lady who presented with expanding lobar bleed and massive haematuria as the first presentation of SLE secondary to vasculitis.

Corona Virus Disease-19 Clinical And Laboratory Characteristics Associated With Disease Severity In Patients Presenting At A Tertiary Care Hospital Of Peshawar.

Background: Coronavirus disease-19 has a wide range of clinical presentations and varied outcomes. It is a new disease and researchers are trying to explore its clinical presentation and outcome to know more about the course of the disease. The objective of the present study was to determine the clinical and laboratory characteristics of Coronavirus disease-19 associated with severity of the disease.

Case Report: Isolated Lingual Dystonia.

Oromandibular dystonia is defined as a focal dystonia that manifests as forceful contractions of the face, jaw, and/or tongue. Lingual dystonia is a rare subtype of oromandibular dystonia that specifically affects the tongue. Multiple etiologies are thought to attribute to oromandibular dystonia, including brain damage, the use of neuroleptic medications, neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and viral infections.

EVALUATION OF MODEL FOR END-STAGE LIVER DISEASE SCORE CUT OFF VALUES IN PATIENTS WITH HEPATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY.

Background: Model for End Stage Liver Disease (MELD) is scoring system used for prioritization of patients waiting liver transplantation. Patients with decompensated chronic liver disease (DCLD) with higher MELD score and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) have poor outcome. We planned to note association between short-term mortality and various cut-off values of at admission MELD score in HCV related DCLD patients presenting with HE.

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Complicating Dengue and Plasmodium vivax Coinfection.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare disorder. Dysfunction of cytotoxic T and natural killer (NK) cells causes uncontrolled activity of lymphocytes and histiocytes which leads to HLH. Infections, malignancies, and autoimmune disorders are associated with development of HLH.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever: comparison of patients with primary and secondary infections.

Background: Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is considered to be associated with secondary dengue infection. This study was conducted to note frequency of primary and secondary dengue infection in DHF patients. Additionally these patients were compared in terms of age, gender, laboratory parameter, diseases severity and outcome.
