    Abstract Dermoscopy refers to evaluation of the skin surface using surface microscopy. It is mainly used for the diagnosis of skin disorders. We report two cases in which dermoscopy played a role in treatment. Our first case was a 40-year-old female with history of insect bite. We evaluated the patient using a dermoscope and removed the tick with mouth part embedded in dermis using forceps ensuring full removal after procedure. The second case was a 35-year-old female who presented with a non-healing ulcer over lower back, following excision of epidermoid cyst. Dermoscopy showed the presence of a thread which was removed and repeat dermoscopy following extraction ensured its full removal.

    Abstract What is the effect of our gut microbial flora on brain? Does the gut microbiome have any role in the causation of psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases? Does the effect of gut microbiota traverse the gut-brain axis? Questions like these have captured the interest and imagination of the scientific community for quite some time now. Research in the quest for answers to these questions, to unravel the potential role of the microbiota inhabiting the gut in controlling brain functions, has progressed manifold over the last two decades. Although the possibility of microbiome as a key susceptibility factor for neurological disorders viz. Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and autism spectrum disorder has bolstered by an increase in the clinical and preclinical evidence, the field is still in its infancy. Given the fact that the diversity of the gut microbiota is affected by various factors including the diet and exercise, the interpretation of such data becomes all the more difficult. Also, such studies have been mostly conducted on animal models, so there is a need for randomized controlled trials in human subjects, corroborated by longitudinal studies, to establish if modulating the gut microbiota can unravel novel therapeutic interventions. Exploring the genomic, metagenomic and metabolomic data from clinical subjects with psychiatric and neurological diseases can prove to be a helpful guide in individual treatment selection.

    Abstract Introduction: The pathogenesis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) mainly involves vascular injury, fibrosis, and immune activation. Visualization of these microvascular changes by nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) can help in the early diagnosis of the disease. Even though the gold standard for NFC is a videodermoscope, the ease, practicality, and accessibility make the hand-held dermoscope a more versatile and suitable device in the hands of the dermatologists in the busy outpatient department.
    Aim: To study the pattern of nail fold capillaries using hand-held dermoscope in the patients of SSc and correlate the findings with disease severity.
    Materials and methods: An observational, cross-sectional hospital-based study was carried out over a span of 2 years, from January 2020 till December 2021, in 50 patients of SSc. NFC using DermLite DL4 was performed in all the patients and distribution, morphology, density of capillaries, and nail fold capillary pattern were observed.
    Results: Out of 50 patients, 38 patients had diffuse type of disease, and 12 had limited type of disease. The mean capillary density in our patients was 4.7 ± 0.81/mm. Dilated capillaries was the most common NFC finding (80%), whereas active scleroderma pattern was the most common pattern (56%). A significant association was found between the type of capillary pattern and duration of disease, type of disease, and cutaneous manifestations.
    Conclusion: Hand-held dermoscope is reliable, practical, and assessable tool that aids in early diagnosis of the disease and also helps in assessing the severity and prognosis of SSc.

    Abstract Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have gained considerable importance for the production of bioelectricity and other value-added products recovery along with the concomitant treatment of wastewater. However, the poor power output of MFC as a result of sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains one of the major setbacks of this green technology. Application of metal composite as cathode catalyst has shown tremendous potential in this regard to the augmentation of power generation through MFC. Thus, this review article pivots around the role of bimetallic catalysts in boosting the ORR and critically evaluates different metal composites employed in lab-scale as well as field-scale MFCs chiefly in terms of power generation. In this regard, bimetallic catalyst such as Cu-Sn have shown the maximum power density of 470.2 ± 27.3 mW/m² and coulombic efficiency of 36.4 ± 2.1% compared to the power density obtained by the MFC with Pt/C as cathode catalyst (465.3 ± 27.1 mW/m²), which shows that bimetallic catalysts possess excellent ORR activity and are more sustainable with respect to expensive Pt based catalyst. Similarly, Cu–Zn bimetallic catalysts have shown the competence for application in both lab- and field-scale. Moreover, the effect of synthesis procedure, structural morphology, and electrochemical behavior of bimetallic catalysts has been scrutinized and summarized in this review. Therefore, this review is an attempt to fill the existing knowledge void on composite metal catalysts and would aid budding scholars in carrying out influential research work in the future.

    Abstract Microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) are a group of innovative technologies that produce valuables like bioelectricity and biofuels with the simultaneous treatment of wastewater from microorganisms known as electroactive microorganisms. The electroactive microorganisms are capable of transferring electrons to the anode of a MET through various metabolic pathways such as direct (via cytochrome or pili) or indirect (through transporters) transfer. Though this technology is promising, the inferior yield of valuables and the high cost of reactor fabrication are presently impeding the large-scale application of this technology. Therefore, to overcome these major bottlenecks, a lot of research has been dedicated to the application of bacterial signalling, for instance, quorum sensing (QS) and quorum quenching (QQ) mechanisms in METs to improve its efficacy in order to achieve a higher power density and to make it more cost-effective. The QS circuit in bacteria produces auto-inducer signal molecules, which enhances the biofilm-forming ability and regulates the bacterial attachment on the electrode of METs. On the other hand, the QQ circuit can effectively function as an antifouling agent for the membranes used in METs and microbial membrane bioreactors, which is imperative for their stable long-term operation. This state-of-the-art review thus distinctly describes in detail the interaction between the QQ and QS systems in bacteria employed in METs to generate value-added by-products, antifouling strategies, and the recent applications of the signalling mechanisms in METs to improve their yield. Further, the article also throws some light on the recent advancements and the challenges faced while incorporating QS and QQ mechanisms in various types of METs. Thus, this review article will help budding researchers in upscaling METs with the integration of the QS signalling mechanism in METs.

    Abstract In this study, a mono-functional ZrO 2 nanomaterial was treated with sulfur and loaded with two different percentages of platinum metals (i.e., 0.5 and 1 wt%) to generate an acidic bi-functional Pt/SZrO 2 nanocatalyst for the purpose of increasing the catalytic activity and selectivity together. This work aims to determine the least amount of the costly platinum metal that can be added to the catalyst to achieve the appropriate balance between the acidic and metallic sites. Both rapid deactivation of the super-acid nanaocatalyst and fast cleavage of the zero-octane n -heptane chain can consequently be prevented throughout the reaction. This can be achieved by accelerating the hydroisomerization reactions at a pressure of 5 bar to reach the highest selectivity towards producing the desired multi-branched compound in fuel. Several characterization techniques, including XRD, SEM, EDX, BET, and FTIR, have been used to evaluate the physical properties of the catalysts. The best reaction product was obtained at 230 °C compared to the other tested temperatures. The conversion, selectivity, and yield of reaction products over the surfaces of the prepared catalysts followed this order: 0.5 wt% Pt/SZrO 2 > 1 wt% Pt/SZrO 2 > 0.5 wt% Pt/ZrO 2 > 1 wt% Pt/ZrO 2 > SZrO 2 > ZrO 2 . The highest conversion, selectivity, and yield values were obtained on the surface of the 0.5 wt% Pt/SZrO 2 catalyst, which are 69.64, 81.4 and 56.68 wt%, respectively, while the lowest values were obtained on the surface of the parent ZrO 2 catalyst, which are 43.9, 61.1 and 26.82, respectively. The kinetic model and apparent activation energies were also implemented for each of the hydroisomerization, hydrogenation/dehydrogenation, and hydrocracking reactions, which track the following order: hydroisomerization < hydrogenation/dehydrogenation < hydrocracking. The lowest apparent activation energy value of 123.39 kJ/mol was found on the surface of the most active and selective 0.5% Pt/SZrO 2 nanocatalyst.
