In contemporary practice, entrapped devices are rarely encountered during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) but can be associated with serious morbidity and mortality. We present a case of a 62 y/o male who presented with an acute coronary syndrome. Revascularization was performed and complicated by guide wire entrapment and fracture. Cardiologists should be aware of this complication and the treatment options available.

Preinduction cervical ripening in previous caesarean pregnancy is limited to intracervical Foley catheter. This study is aimed at finding the vaginal birth rates, improvement of Bishop score, and safety of osmotic dilator (Dilapan-S) among women with previous caesarean pregnancy. We conducted this single-group clinical study after the approval of the institute ethics committee, clinical trial registration, and obtaining informed consent.

Epilepsy is one of the oldest neurological disorders discovered by mankind. This condition is firmly coupled with unprovoked seizures stimulated by irrepressible neuroelectrical blasts. Orally taken valproate family has been employed for prophylactic management; however, oral administration is not applicable for critical scenarios, thus calling for medication routes fulfilling necessities of immediate innervation.

Background: Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a neuropathic condition marked by pain, tingling, and numbness in the anterolateral thigh, primarily caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN). Although compression often occurs beneath the inguinal ligament, anatomical variations can lead to different entrapment sites. Treatments range from conservative measures to surgical decompression, depending on symptom severity.

Article Synopsis
- The development of advanced personal protective equipment (PPE) using functional materials is crucial for preventing the spread of infectious diseases, but achieving effective antimicrobial properties remains a challenge.
- A newly reported hierarchically porous cerium metal-organic framework (Ce-MOF) significantly enhances antimicrobial performance by promoting the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and effectively trapping bacteria.
- This innovative Ce-MOF design provides exceptional antimicrobial efficacy—nearly 100%—even in low-light conditions, paving the way for the creation of self-disinfecting PPE materials.
Surface soil-dust contamination of Phalaris arundinacea grown on former lead mine sites: Implications for biomass use, phytoremediation and phytomanagement.

This study evaluated the contribution of soil dust deposited on the surface of reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) grown on historic lead (Pb) mine sites to the overall contamination of the biomass, with implications for phytoremediation, valorization and utilization. By applying a novel combination of imaging of plant material using X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), with washing experiments and bulk analysis, the research aimed to distinguish between (a) Pb uptake through biological processes (phyto-extraction), and (b) surficial dust and physical entrapment of Pb-rich dust on plants cultivated in contaminated soils (surface-contamination). The study established the presence and distribution of Pb-rich particles, which were difficult to remove even by means of sequential washing in 1 M hydrochloric acid and surfactant.
