Nanocomposite 2D Graphene synthesized various TMDs (MoS2, CoS2 and NiS2) as a counter electrode for Platinum free efficient dye-sensitized solar cells
Authors: J Dineshkumar , R Sakthivel , A Geetha 
Published: January 2025

The counter electrode plays a vital role in solarcell performance. Instead of using platinum (Pt) CE, many inorganic and organic counter electrodes (CEs) have been created for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). However, because of their exceptional chemical stability, low cost, simple fabrication, flexibility, transparence, potential for high efficiency and better electrochemical qualities, carbon nanocomposite and MoS2 have been crucial to CEs. In this work, we created a graphene nanocomposite with TMDs (MoS2, CoS2, and NiS2) integrated as a counter electrode that can be easily manufactured hydrothermally and utilized in DSSCs. Through the use of energy dispersive spectrum analysis, Raman, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction, the structural, morphological, and elemental content of the samples were examined. In comparison to MoS2@graphene and CoS2@graphene, respectively, NiS2@graphene hybrid demonstrated superior electrical conductivity and catalytic activity as a substitute for platinum counter electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). When compared to MoS2@graphene (7.71 ± 0.03%) and CoS2@graphene (8.01 ± 0.05%), the resultant NiS2@graphene counter electrodes (CEs) showed greater power conversion efficiencies (8.42 ± 0.05%). The availability of catalytic edge sites, the three-dimensional (3D) structure of NiS2, which promotes electrolyte/reactant transport, and the exceptional electrical connection to the underneath graphene are responsible for the exceptional performance of DSSCs. Therefore, our findings show that more research should be done 2D Graphene on the TMDs materials for dye-sensitized solar cells.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
Kidney dysfunction and reduced filtration capacity due to chronic kidney disease (CKD) lead to a shift in the body's acid-base balance, ultimately causing metabolic acidosis (MA). Sodium bicarbonate has been used as a supplement to alleviate the symptoms and reverse the acidosis, and it may even slow the progression of CKD. However, its safety profile and overall effectiveness are uncertain.
AIM
To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials assessing sodium bicarbonate's safety and efficacy for treating CKD-induced MA.
METHODS
Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central were systematically searched from inception until May 2024 to select all relevant randomized control trials (RCTs) and non-RCT (NRCTs) evaluating the effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate in correcting MA in end-stage renal disease patients. In addition, ClinicalTrials.gov, Medrxiv.org, and Google Scholar were searched for other literature. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed to derive mean differences (MD) and risk ratios (RR) with their 95%CI for continuous and dichotomous outcomes respectively.
RESULTS
Following a systematic search of the databases, 20 RCTs and 2 and NRCTs comprising 2932 patients were included in our study. The results revealed that sodium bicarbonate significantly increased serum bicarbonate in CKD patients (MD: 2.59, 95%CI: 0.95-4.22; P = 0.02; I 2 = 95%). However, there was a non-significant increase in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients on sodium bicarbonate therapy (MD: 0.93, 95%CI: -1.88-3.75; P = 0.52; I 2 = 93%). Upon assessment of the safety profile of sodium bicarbonate, no significant association was found in the outcomes of death/prolonged hospitalization (RR: 1.05, 95%CI: 0.84-1.32; P = 0.66; I 2 = 0%), or gastrointestinal disorders (RR: 1.64, 95%CI: 0.35-7.66; P = 0.53; I 2 = 76%), or worsening edema (RR: 1.26, 95%CI: 0.94-1.68; P = 0.12; I 2 = 37%) when compared to control.
CONCLUSION
Sodium bicarbonate therapy may halt worsening kidney function by correcting serum bicarbonate levels and treating MA. Although sodium bicarbonate does not significantly improve the eGFR, it may potentially prevent CKD progression while maintaining an overall favorable safety profile.
Role of variation coefficient of stone density in determining success of shock wave lithotripsy in urinary calculi
Authors: Iqbal Nadeem , Hasan Aisha , Iqbal Sajid , Noureen Sadaf , Akhter Saeed 
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
Various stone factors can affect the net results of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL). Recently a new factor called variation coefficient of stone density (VCSD) is being considered to have an impact on stone free rates.
AIM
To assess the role of VCSD in determining success of SWL in urinary calculi.
METHODS
Charts review was utilized for collection of data variables. The patients were subjected to SWL, using an electromagnetic lithotripter. Mean stone density (MSD), stone heterogeneity index (SHI), and VCSD were calculated by generating regions of interest on computed tomography (CT) images. Role of these factors were determined by applying the relevant statistical tests for continuous and categorical variables and a P value of < 0.05 was gauged to be statistically significant.
RESULTS
There were a total of 407 patients included in the analysis. The mean age of the subjects in this study was 38.89 ± 14.61 years. In total, 165 out of the 407 patients could not achieve stone free status. The successful group had a significantly lower stone volume as compared to the unsuccessful group (P < 0.0001). Skin to stone distance was not dissimilar among the two groups (P = 0.47). MSD was significantly lower in the successful group (P < 0.0001). SHI and VCSD were both significantly higher in the successful group (P < 0.0001).
CONCLUSION
VCSD, a useful CT based parameter, can be utilized to gauge stone fragility and hence the prediction of SWL outcomes.
Glomerular filtration rate and comorbidity factors in elderly hospitalizations
Authors: Hamarat Hatice 
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
With an increase in the elderly population, the frequency of hospitalizations in recent years has also risen at a rapid pace. This, in turn, has resulted in poor outcomes and costly treatments. Hospitalization rates increase in elderly patients due to a decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
AIM
To investigate the connection between GFR and comorbidity and reasons for hospitalization in elderly patients.
METHODS
We analyzed patients aged 75 years and over who were admitted to the internal medicine clinic of a tertiary hospital in Eskisehir. At admission, we calculated GFR values using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study formula and classified them into six categories: G1, G2, G3a, G3b, G4, and G5. We analyzed associations with hospitalization diagnoses and comorbidity factors.
RESULTS
The average age of the patients was 80.8 years (± 4.5 years). GFR was 57.287 ± 29.5 mL/kg/1.73 m2 in women and 61.3 ± 31.5 mL/kg/1.73 m2 in men (P = 0.106). Most patients were admitted to the hospital at G2 stage (32.8%). The main reasons for hospitalization were anemia (34.4% and 28.6%) and malnutrition (20.9% and 20.8%) in women and men, respectively (P = 0.078). The most frequent comorbidity leading to hospitalization was arterial hypertension (n = 168, 28%), followed by diabetes (n = 166, 27.7%) (P = 0.001).
CONCLUSION
When evaluating geriatric patients, low GFR alone does not provide sufficient information. Patients’ comorbid factors should also be taken into account. There is no association between low GFR during hospitalization and hospitalization-related diagnoses. Knowing the GFR value before hospitalization will be more informative in such studies.

Authors: Basso Carla de Almeida Martins , Junior Silvio Santos , Lira Tailane Aparecida 
Published: January 2025

Esse estudo evidencia a relação entre as Indicações Geográficas (IGs) e a competitividade regional, explorando suas interações, a estrutura econômica subjacente e proposições que ajudem a entender e determinar seu efeito na competitividade dos municípios e regiões com selos. As IGs emergem como estratégia relevante para o desenvolvimento regional em um contexto de globalização, respondendo à demanda por produtos autênticos e tradicionais. No Brasil, as IGs são protegidas por lei e reconhecidas pelo Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Intelectual (INPI). São classificadas como Indicação de Procedência (IP) e Denominação de Origem (DO), ambas com a função de distinguir e valorizar produtos regionais. A utilização de IGs é vista como uma maneira de fortalecer agrupamentos produtivos, aumentar a competitividade e promover o desenvolvimento regional. Foram investigadas as 99 IGs presentes em 1773 municípios brasileiros e posteriormente evidenciadas as IGs de café e de uvas e vinhos. A análise é baseada no método Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). Os resultados, de uma forma geral, demonstraram que a presença da indicação geográfica pode contribuir para a competitividade do município ou região, fortalecendo sua identidade regional, melhorando a reputação dos produtos locais e gerando um impacto positivo na economia local. A presença da indicação geográfica promove condições ao dinamismo dos municípios, quer seja a nível social, reputação, turismo e, por consequência, econômico. Além disso, os resultados corroboram com a ideia de que a presença da IG, em um município ou região, promove a notoriedade e produtos diferenciados com identidade única de determinadas regiões e municípios.

Implementing prehospital thrombolysis in regional Tasmania
Authors: Johnston Tania , Jenkins Louis , Oatley Lucy , Eaves Scott , Black Andrew , Maria Sonja 
Published: January 2025

Background: Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in regional Tasmania frequently encounter reperfusion delays. Ambulance Tasmania recently implemented prehospital thrombolysis (PHT) as part of a pharmacoinvasive strategy. This study aimed to describe a cohort of the first patient encounters involving STEMI treated under the new guideline to review the implications of the PHT initiative and inform ongoing implementation.
Methods: This was a descriptive, retrospective cohort study of the first 30 consecutive patient encounters involving PHT for STEMI at Ambulance Tasmania from August 2021 to October 2022.
Results: Despite meeting reperfusion targets in only two cases, the average time of 52 minutes from first medical contact (FMC) to PHT was 24.4 minutes shorter than pre-PHT. When an intensive care paramedic attended first, an additional 13 minutes was saved. There were no significant adverse events. Despite signs of successful PHT for 70% (n=21) of patients, 60% (n=18) were admitted directly to the catheterization lab for angiography and PCI.
Conclusion: This study describes a cohort of patients treated under a new PHT guideline in Tasmania located too far from a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) centre to achieve national reperfusion targets for primary PCI, but close enough to make angiography decisions post-PHT challenging. The findings support PHT as a safe process that reduces the FMC to needle interval. Additional research is required to understand better the local PCI practices specific to Tasmania to optimize PHT as part of a broader pharmacoinvasive strategy. Recommendations for ongoing implementation include upgrading ECG transmission capability and extending thrombolysis to all levels of paramedics. The service should engage paramedics to further reduce FMC to needle times and use quality improvement initiatives to improve clinical documentation and pre-alert communication. Finally, adopting the Utstein-style data collection tool would facilitate standardized reporting and help identify areas for ongoing improvement in PHT.
Comparative study of the use of antihypertensives and their relationship with sars-cov-2
Authors: Castro Mindiola Franklin Francisco , Soledispa Cañarte Pilar Asunción 
Published: January 2025

This comparative study analyzed the published scientific evidence about the association between the reduction of severity or mortality due to COVID-19, and the efficiency of the use of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (BRAs) compared to other drugs antihypertensives non-ACEI/ARB in hypertensive patients. The objective was to estimate the occurrence of the risk of morbidity, severity or mortality due severe acute respiratory failure in hypertensive patients and the efficacy of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and inhibitor drugs non-peptic Angio II receptor antagonists (ARBs II) in SARS-Cov-2.The methodology used was the exhaustive bibliographic review of literary bases through the advanced search function of observational studies, clinical trials and meta-analyses that focus on the use of ACE Inhibitors/BRAs in SARS-Cov-2.The ACEI and ARB results demonstrated better efficacy in terms of control of inflammatory processes and low risk of severity due to COVID-19 than CCBs. In addition, several studies affirm that there is a low risk of hospitalization, intubation and mortality from all cardiovascular causes during COVID-19 disease. Therefore, published scientific evidence suggests acceptable safety of the management of ACEIs/ ARBs in SARS-Cov-2 and arterial hypertension in contrast to the few studies where ACEIs / ARBs increased the susceptibility of SARS-Cov-2, resulting in potential systemic damage. Conclusion: The medium-low quality of scientific evidence suggests an urgent need for a new systematic review that includes a greater number of randomized clinical trials, to corroborate the magnitude of the risk of morbidity, severity, and mortality from SARS-Cov-2.
