The development of new high-capacity anode materials using ions other than lithium as a charge carrier is one of the essential strategies in searching for next-generation high-performance rechargeable batteries. Herein, using first-principles computations, we explore a B[Formula: see text]C monolayer as a potential anode material for Mg-ion batteries. The high stability of the free-standing B[Formula: see text]C monolayer has been demonstrated via calculating the adsorption energy, phonon dispersion, and ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations. The metallic character of the B[Formula: see text]C monolayer, desirable from the point of view of energy storage, ensures good electronic conductivity during the battery charge/discharge process. The calculated migration energy barrier, open-circuit voltage, and theoretical specific capacity of the B[Formula: see text]C monolayer are much better than those of some other two-dimensional materials. These findings provide the B[Formula: see text]C monolayer as a potential candidate for Mg-ion battery anode material with a high theoretical specific capacity of 3187.55 mAh/g.

Introduction: Menstrual cramps, which can be categorized as primary or secondary depending on the etiology, are a painful feature of dysmenorrhea. Researchers from throughout the country found that self-care practices for dysmenorrhea included reducing physical activity, adjusting diet, medications, or treatments, adopting alternative therapies, recording symptom clusters of discomforts, and expressing feelings. Methodology: There were 246 women in the reproductive age range who took part in this study.

Background Sub-district hospitals in Tamil Nadu are critical in providing essential healthcare services, but they face significant challenges that can lead to increased patient referrals to higher-level facilities. High referral rates can overburden tertiary care centers, delay specialized treatment, and affect patient outcomes. This study aims to identify the root causes of increased referral rates in a sub-district hospital and implement targeted interventions to reduce unnecessary referrals.

Article Synopsis
- Ichthyosis is a genetic skin disorder leading to excessive scaling and thickened skin, which can hinder vitamin D production and lead to deficiencies.
- A study involving 25 patients with congenital ichthyosis and low vitamin D levels administered high doses of vitamin D3 and calcium, resulting in normal vitamin D levels for most patients.
- Participants reported significant improvements in skin symptoms and quality of life, suggesting vitamin D supplementation may help, but more extensive research is needed to confirm these results.
Background: Skin cancer diagnosis challenges dermatologists due to its complex visual variations across diagnostic categories. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), specifically the Efficient Net B0-B7 series, have shown superiority in multiclass skin cancer classification. This study addresses the limitations of visual examination by presenting a tailored preprocessing pipeline designed for Efficient Net models.

Article Synopsis
- - Alcohol use disorder can lead to complications like pellagra, a rare condition that presents challenges in diagnosis, particularly in resource-poor settings.
- - A case study of a 36-year-old male with a history of substance abuse revealed symptoms such as hallucinations and neurological deficits, ultimately diagnosed as alcoholic pellagrous encephalopathy (APE) linked to niacin deficiency.
- - Recognizing atypical symptoms of APE in alcohol-dependent individuals is crucial; prompt diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes, although socioeconomic factors may complicate timely intervention.
