A two-step synthesis approach is employed for antimony sulfide thin films, which includes thermal evaporation followed by annealing in a sulfur atmosphere using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The thickness of the films is systematically varied to study its impact on the material's properties. The orthorhombic crystal structure of each film is verified by Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GIXRD) analysis.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted (March 2020 - October 2021) during which hospitalized children aged 1-18 years with KD were consecutively enrolled. Those with a positive RTPCR test or IgM/IgG serology for COVID-19 were excluded.
Background: Chemotherapy nonspecifically targets both tumor and healthy proliferating cells. Methionine deprivation using L-methioninase along with chemotherapy appears promising towards cancer management. The present study is an attempt to use a new combination of L-methioninase with Tamoxifen (TAM) to treat breast cancer in mice.
