Tailoring supercapacitance and water splitting performance of nickel sulfides (NiS and NiS): a comparative study of colloidal and solventless synthesis.

To overcome the potential issue of active site blockage by surfactants in colloidal synthesis, alternative synthetic approaches must be explored. In this study, we investigated both solvent-free and colloidal thermolysis routes to synthesize nickel sulfides (NiS and NiS) using sulfur-based Ni complexes, [Ni(SCO(CH))] (Ni-Xan) and [Ni(SCN(CH))] (Ni-DTC) as precursors. The solvent-free decomposition of these complexes produced ligand-free NiS and NiS in the absence or presence of triphenylphosphine (TPP), respectively.

Complete Blood Count (CBC) Parameters as a Cost-Effective Tool for Early Diagnosis of Pediatric Sepsis: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Early recognition of pediatric sepsis is crucial for timely intervention, prevention of mortality, and improving long-term outcomes in children. However, the lack of advanced diagnostics in resource-limited settings poses a significant challenge to early diagnosis and intervention. Complete blood count (CBC) parameters are routinely performed, cost-effective, and readily available, yet their diagnostic utility in pediatric sepsis remains underutilized.

Low-Level Light Therapy Effect on Metabolites measured by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Patients with Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury: A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial.

Background And Purpose: Low-level light therapy (LLLT) has been shown to modulate recovery in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the longitudinal impact of LLLT on brain metabolites has not been studied. The purpose of this study was to use magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) to assess the metabolic response of LLLT in patients with moderate TBI at acute (within 1 week), subacute (2-3 weeks), and late-subacute (3 months) recovery phases.

Comparison of laryngeal exposure in bed-up-head-elevated Macintosh laryngoscopy vs. supine C-MAC video laryngoscopy: a randomized non-inferiority trial.

Background: Tracheal intubation can be challenging, especially in unanticipated cases, where patient positioning plays a critical role. The bed-up-head-elevated (BUHE) position may improve intubation outcomes.

Research Design And Methods: This randomized non-inferiority trial included 90 ASA I - II patients undergoing elective surgery.
