CuZnSnS (CZTS) has been synthesised using ethylene glycol as a solvent by the solvothermal method. Preliminary characterisation, like X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and FTIR, confirmed the tetragonal structure of CZTS with kesterite phase. In the synthesis, a series of samples with different concentrations of sulfur were produced, accompanied by an in-depth analysis of structural parameters such as crystallite size and strain, utilising both the Scherrer equation and the Williamson-Hall method.

Long-term survival depends on robust immune reconstitution (IR), which governs overall immune homeostasis and risks of infection, graft-versus-host disease, and relapse. However, despite its centrality to post-transplant outcomes, IR is not consistently monitored across transplant centers, limiting ability to generate meaningful, comparable, and translatable data.

However, detecting drinking above recommended levels in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australian primary care settings is complex. Inaccuracies in completing a screening tool such as Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test - Consumption, can lead to errors in estimating drinking in First Nations contexts where group sharing and episodic drinking make it difficult to accurately estimate alcohol consumption with tools that assume regular drinking patterns.

We describe the case of a 34-year-old female patient who presented 45 days following surgery with recurring hematemesis, melena, abdominal pain, and jaundice. Ultrasonography with colour Doppler suggested a vascular lesion near the porta hepatis, and triple-phase CT angiography confirmed a right hepatic artery (RHA) pseudoaneurysm leading to intrahepatic biliary radical dilatation (IHBRD).

Although MBC has been associated with improved outcomes in major depressive disorder (MDD), its effectiveness in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains understudied.
Objective: To assess whether MBC accelerates the resolution of depressive symptoms compared with standard care among adults with MDD in Pakistan.
