Abstract	Intermetallic nanomaterials are unique in terms of their band gap, atomic-level arrangement, and well-defined stoichiometry, which allows them to exhibit significantly enhanced catalytic performance in electrochemical applications. However, the preparation of durable intermetallic catalysts with a lower content of platinum group metals is challenging, while the lack of control over the loss of active components limits their long-term application due to weak interaction between the support and the nanostructure. Here, we have designed the intermetallic alloyed nanoparticles (NPs) of PdY on N-doped carbon nanotubes (PdY/NCNTs) as a multifunctional catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR), and zinc-air batteries (ZABs). The strong adhesion through nitrogen ensures the anchoring of alloyed PdY NPs on the NCNTs, which restrains atomic migration and sintering during their conversion to intermetallic phases. This study confirms that there is negligible active site leaching owing to the strong and multiple dative bonds between the NCNTs and PdY NPs. Therefore, this catalyst exhibits remarkable catalytic activity, resulting in a mass activity of 1317 and 2902 mA mg

Abstract	Objective: An unprecedented rise in mucormycosis cases; apparently called 'an epidemic within a pandemic' was seen worldwide. Therefore, the following study was conducted to know the epidemiology, underlying risk factors, diagnostic approach, and possible outcome of mucormycosis during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on patients with a high index of clinical suspicion of mucormycosis Data about demographics, co-morbidities, laboratory investigations, radiology, management, and outcomes were collected. Results: We got 45 cases of proven Rhino-orbital-cerebral-mucormycosis (ROCM) from clinically suspected cases. Covid-19 was the most common underlying risk factor (n = 41, 91.11%) followed by Diabetes mellitus (DM) (n = 39; 86.67%). Steroids and oxygen usage were noted in 53.66% (n = 22) and 41.46% (n = 17) respectively. Among the 51 suspected cases of mucormycosis, 47 were supported by radiodiagnosis. Histopathology diagnosed the highest number of mucormycosis cases (n = 44; 97.78%), followed by KOH examination (n = 36; 80%) and Culture (n = 28; 62.22%). The most common species isolated from the tissue samples was Rhizopus species (n = 17; 60.71%), followed by Mucor species (n = 7; 25%). The mortality rate was 17.14%. Conclusion: DM, Covid-19, and corticosteroids are the chief underlying risk factor for ROCM. Rhizopus spp. was the most dominant etiological agent. Early diagnosis and management with combined medical & surgical intervention have a better survival rate.

Abstract	Background Due to earlier detection and improved treatment and examinations, there has been a rise in the survival rate of patients with breast cancer (BC). It is imperative to examine the health-related quality of life (QoL) of these patients, as it can aid healthcare professionals and authorities in comprehending the variables that influence quality of life. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of information on the subject of women in Nineveh. In Nineveh, a study sought to delve into the quality of life experienced by women undergoing treatment or on follow-up for breast cancer at Mosul Oncology and Nuclear Medicine Hospital. Specifically, researchers wanted to see how age and treatment impacted the QoL of these women. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 212 women with BC. Clinico-pathological-, social-, disease-, and treatment-related characteristics were reviewed. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) questionnaire was used for assessing QoL in this study. Results The overall FACT-B score was 75.7 (SD=19.99). Around 36.3% (n=77) of women with BC suffered from a lack of energy, and 39% (n=83) could not meet the needs of their families. The mean score of emotional well-being was the lowest among the FACT-B subscales. Patients aged 60 years and older had significantly worse QoL than younger patients (less than 60 years), and patients receiving chemotherapy had poor QoL. During the chemotherapy period, 51.4% (n=77) of patients were bothered by the side effects of treatment; 43.8% (n=65) suffered from pain; 35.3% (n=53) had nausea; and 39.1% (n=58) felt ill. Conclusions Patients with breast carcinoma who are older tend to experience a lower quality of life, according to the findings of a recent study. Interestingly, those who undergo systemic chemotherapy have a worse QoL than their counterparts who complete their chemotherapy cycles. As a result, healthcare providers must offer targeted interventions to improve quality of life, particularly for those who fall into the older age group and those receiving chemotherapy.

Abstract	Balochi sheep is a popular breed of Balochistan used for meat and fleece production. This breed faces an elevated susceptibility to the annihilation of its distinctive traits due to uncontrolled and indiscriminate breeding practices. The process of phenotypic classification plays a crucial role in facilitating the sustainable utilization, conservation, and enhancement of a particular breed. The current study was conducted to evaluate the morphological attributes for conservation, rearing and breed improvement of the Balochi sheep in Balochistan. Five districts were selected for data collection included Quetta, Sibi, Mastung, Kalat, and Khuzdar. Five flocks were selected from each district, consisting of more than 250 animals. Most of the sheep population had a semi-pendulous ear direction (89.5%). In terms of ear colour, 73.5% of the sheep displayed a white tendency, while 26.5% had black. In male Balochi sheep, several typical morphological characteristics were observed, included wool fiber diameter averaging 37.47±0.06µm, body weight at 39.76±0.87 kg, height 35.20±0.13 inches, chest size of 50.16±0.74 cm, belly circumference of 55.48±0.62 cm, neck length at 7.84±0.46 cm, neck girth of 17.89±0.07 cm, testicle length 8.94±0.43 cm, and testicle diameter of 4.014±0.14 cm. Similarly, in female average values for wool fiber diameter were 37.47±0.06 µm, body weight was 34.02±0.27 kg, height 34.03±0.11 inches, chest size was 47.27±0.49 cm, belly circumference was 51.36±0.49 cm, neck length was 7.84±0.22 cm, neck girth was 17.89±0.03 cm, udder height was 7.86±0.20 cm, udder circumference was 11.83±0.3 cm, teat length was 2.99±0.00 cm, and teat diameter was 1.03±0.01 cm. The coat colour patterns of the overall phenotypes exhibited a mainly uneven distribution, with white coat colour patterns being most prevalent (95%), followed by black and brown patches. The facial head colour exhibited a predominant white pigmentation (85%) with the remaining 15% displaying a partly black shade. The distribution of nose shape among ...

Abstract	Background: Postoperative shunt infection is a nightmare in neurosurgical practice with additional morbidity and mortality. A lot of protocols have contributed to the reduction of ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) infections but not eradication. The aim of the study was to evaluate the rigid application of a modified Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network (HCRN) protocol in the prevention of postoperative shunt infection. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated children with congenital hydrocephalus who underwent VPS insertion, and in whom the protocol was applied from June 2019 to January 2020. Follow-up ranged from 11 to 24 months. Results: Thirty-seven procedures were performed including 35 primary shunt insertions and two revision surgeries. The median age was 5 months (range, 1-30 months), and 25 patients were males. The most common cause for VPS placement was congenital hydrocephalus without identifiable cause in 28 cases (80%). The endoscope-assisted technique was used in the insertion of the proximal end in six cases (17%). The mean follow-up was 19.4 months (11-24 months). The rate of shunt infection was 0% till the last follow-up. Conclusion: The preliminary results showed an effective method for the prevention of postoperative shunt infections using the modified protocol. These initial findings need to be validated in a large prospective study before widespread application can be recommended.

Abstract	Surveillance cameras are everywhere keeping an eye on pedestrians or people as they navigate through the scene. Within this context, our paper addresses the problem of pedestrian attribute recognition (PAR). This problem entails the extraction of different attributes such as age-group, clothing style, accessories, footwear style etc. This is a multi-label problem with a host of challenges even for human observers. As such, the topic has rightly attracted attention recently. In this work, we integrate trainable Gabor wavelet (TGW) layers inside a convolution neural network (CNN). Whereas other researchers have used fixed Gabor filters with the CNN, the proposed layers are learnable and adapt to the dataset for a better recognition. We test our method on publicly available challenging datasets and demonstrate considerable improvements over state of the art approaches.

Abstract	Background: Topical hemostatic powder is a mineral powder that forms an adherent barrier and coagulates active bleeding in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Hemospray is the first hemostatic powder approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. Hemospray has been increasingly used to manage GI bleeding. However, data on the adverse events of hemostatic powders are lacking. Therefore, we aim to report and analyze adverse events associated with Hemospray using the FDA's "Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience" database. Methods: We analyzed the postmarketing surveillance data from the FDA's Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience database for Hemospray, initially known as TC-325, from June 2018 through April 2022. Results of the search were classified into device-related technical issues, patient-related adverse events and health care staff-related adverse events. Results: Five hundred two medical device reporting claims were identified from June 2018 through April 2022. Seven duplicate claims were identified, and some claims included more than one event type. Therefore, there were 558 device-related problems, 28 patient-related adverse events, and 2 adverse events in health care staff members. The most common device-related problems were activation failure or failure to fire (n = 385, 70.0%) and obstruction of carbon dioxide flow (n = 121, 21.7). The most common patient-related adverse events included tissue injury or bleeding (n = 21) and perforation (n = 5). Conclusion: Although Hemospray is a valuable tool in the armamentarium for endoscopists in managing GI bleeding, endoscopists must be mindful of deice-related problems and potential patient-related adverse events.
