The synthesis of high entropy oxide (HEO) nanoparticles (NPs) possesses many challenges in terms of process complexity and cost, scalability, tailoring nanoparticle morphology, and rapid synthesis. Herein, we report the synthesis of novel single-phase solid solution (Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn)(O) quinary HEO NPs produced by a flame spray pyrolysis route. The aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) technique is utilized to investigate the spinel crystal structure of synthesized HEO NPs, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis confirmed the high entropy configuration of five metal elements in their oxide form within a single HEO nanoparticle. Selected area electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy analysis results are in accordance with STEM results, providing the key attributes of a spinel crystal structure of HEO NPs. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results provide the insightful understanding of chemical oxidation states of individual elements and their possible cation occupancy sites in the spinel-structured HEO NPs.

Introduction: In response to the growing need to evaluate nanomaterial (NM) toxicity and compliance with the "3Rs" principles (replacement, reduction, and refinement of animal experiments), zebrafish () embryos have emerged as a promising alternative model for studies on NM toxicity. However, zebrafish embryos are surrounded by an acellular envelope, the chorion, which limits the permeability of NMs. The present study investigated the importance of dechorionated zebrafish embryos for evaluating NM toxicity.

Background: Oral anticoagulants (OACs) are essential for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disorders, but bleeding, a major complication, can have a fatal impact on the patient's treatment.
Objectives: We aimed to estimate the nationwide, real-world incidence rate of bleeding in patients taking OACs and confirm the incidence by indications and risk factors.
Methods: This cross-sectional study identified OAC users from April 1 to December 31, in both 2019 and 2020, using the HIRA-NPS database.
Superior Single-Entity Electrochemistry Performance of Capping Agent-Free Gold Nanoparticles Compared to Citrate-Capped Gold Nanoparticles.

In observing the electrocatalytic current of nanoparticles (NPs) using single-entity electrochemistry (SEE), the surface state of the NPs significantly influences the SEE signal. This study investigates the influence of capping agents on the electrocatalytic properties of gold (Au) NPs using SEE. Two inner-sphere reactions, hydrazine oxidation and glucose oxidation, were chosen to explore the SEE characteristics of Au NPs based on the capping agent presence.

The advent of nanotechnology has significantly spurred the utilization of nanoparticles (NPs) across diverse sectors encompassing industry, agriculture, engineering, cosmetics, and medicine. Metallic oxides including zinc oxide (ZnO), copper oxide (CuO), manganese oxide (MnO), and aluminum oxide (AlO), in their NP forms, have become prevalent in cosmetics and various dermal products. Despite the expanding consideration of these compounds for dermal applications, their potential for initiating skin sensitization (SS) has not been comprehensively examined.
