A novel cone-shaped superhydrophobic and oleophilic CaAl-LDH intercalated with dodecyl sulphate (DS(-)) anions was synthesized from calcium dodecyl sulphate as a precursor via a one-step hydrothermal method. The synthesized LDH has been successfully utilized in mopping and regeneration of oil from oil-water mixtures.

Scanning electron microscopy, morphometric and energy dispersive X-Ray analysis of cephalothoracic structures exploring defensive and sensory features in kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicus Spence Bate, 1888).

Background: Kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicus) is a commercially important crustacean and a valuable global food source. This study employed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to explore the morphology and morphometric features of the Marsupenaeus japonicus cephalothoracic structures, including antennules, antennas, scaphocerite, rostrums, and eye stalks. The primary focus was on understanding the role of each part, especially through the examination of setae, which are crucial for chemoreception and defense.

Article Synopsis
- Two patients of East African descent have been identified with a novel homozygous variant in the parathyroid hormone receptor type 1 (PTH1R), which is linked to Eiken syndrome features such as brachydactyly and skeletal abnormalities.
- Both patients showed parathyroid hormone resistance, resulting in low calcium and high phosphate levels, which initially pointed to pseudohypoparathyroidism, yet genetic testing confirmed a specific PTH1R mutation.
- Functional analysis revealed that both PTH1R variants caused increased basal cAMP signaling and reduced responsiveness to PTH and PTH-related peptide, indicating a disruption in PTH1R signaling pathways associated with their clinical symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- - A 7-year-old patient with ectodermal dysplasia was found to have a new mutation in the EDA gene (c.965 T>C), which impacts tooth and facial development.
- - The treatment plan involved creating a removable partial denture and a complete denture, along with custom resin crowns designed using digital smile design to improve the child's cone-shaped teeth.
- - Advanced imaging techniques like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) were used to ensure precise jaw relation, leading to well-fitting dentures that enhanced both the patient's appearance and dental function.

Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is a genetic disorder caused by point mutations or deletions in the gene-encoding transcription factor TRPS1. TRPS patients display a range of skeletal dysplasias, including reduced jaw size, short stature, and a cone-shaped digit epiphysis. Certain TRPS patients experience early onset coxarthrosis that leads to a devastating drop in their daily activities.

Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) is an effective method to halt the disease progression of keratoconus, a progressive corneal dystrophy leading to cone shaped cornea. Despite the efficacy of standard protocol, the concerning step of this procedure is epithelial debridement performed to facilitate the entry of riboflavin drug. Riboflavin, a key molecule in CXL protocol, is a sparsely permeable hydrophilic drug in corneal tissues.
