    Abstract The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into platform chemicals and fuels by metal single atoms is a new domain in solid catalysis research. Unlike the conventional catalysis route, single-atom catalysts (SACs) proliferate maximum utilization efficiency, high catalytic activity, and good selectivity to the desired product with an ultralow loading of the active sites. More strikingly, SACs show a unique cost-effective pathway for the conversion of complex sugar molecules to value-added chemicals in high yield and selectivity, which may be hindered by conventional metal nanoparticles. Primarily, SACs having adjustable active sites could be easily modified using sophisticated synthetic techniques based on their intended reactions. This review covers current research on the use of SACs with a strong emphasis on the fundamentals of catalyst design, and their distinctive activities in each type of reaction (hydrogenation, hydrogenolysis, hydrodeoxygenation, oxidation, and dehydrogenation). Furthermore, the fundamental insights into the superior actions of SACs within the opportunity and prospects for the industrial-scale synthesis of value-added products from the lignocelluloses are covered.

    Abstract A 50-year-old lady presented with complaints of a progressively increasing anal mass and occasional bleeding per rectum for the past 4 months. Examination revealed an ulcero-proliferative growth in the anal canal, whose biopsy was suggestive of malignant melanoma. Inguinal lymph nodes, though enlarged, did not show evidence of malignant deposits on FNAC. Radiological investigations revealed a T3 lesion with no evidence of nodal metastasis. She underwent local excision of the mass with uneventful intraoperative and postoperative periods. The purpose of this report is to highlight the formidable challenges encountered in diagnosing this rare tumour, with potential implications for misdiagnosis, particularly within a resource-poor setting. This case highlights the importance of resource-appropriate approaches and surgical options available in a tertiary care hospital in North India.

    Abstract The value of breastfeeding surpasses its utilitarian role in nourishing, encompassing profound psychological advantages for mothers and children. The orchestration of emotional bonds relies on the interplay of oxytocin and prolactin, fundamental hormones that underpin maternal attachment, mitigate postpartum depression, and cultivate self-confidence. Simultaneously, breastfeeding promotes infant development by fostering robust brain growth, bolstering immune defenses, and nurturing cognitive and emotional maturation - all of which are nurtured through maternal interactions. We must respond to the call for heightened advocacy of breastfeeding. This entails delivering education, easily accessible support, and creating an environment where breastfeeding is normalized. By dispelling misconceptions and eradicating stigmatization associated with breastfeeding, we can amplify awareness and empower mothers to make well-informed decisions for their newborns. These implications reverberate extensively. Enhanced maternal mental well-being and self-assurance form the bedrock of healthier family dynamics. At the same time, the dividends of cognitive, emotional, and immunological enrichment in children represent a more promising future. At a societal level, the embrace and promotion of breastfeeding cultivate an environment that places immense value on the health and happiness of both mothers and children. This journey is more profound than mere sustenance; it signifies a complex web of advantages. Elevating awareness and support for breastfeeding solidifies the global commitment to comprehensive maternal and child welfare and the flourishing of meaningful relationships.

    Abstract Background  Opioids, which have well-known adverse effects such as drowsiness paralytic ileus and respiratory depression, were mostly utilised to treat postoperative pain in the past. The increased incidence of side effects has led to a rise in interest in pain management techniques that spare opioids. Persistent abdominal pain following surgery has a major detrimental effect on patients' quality of life. While epidural analgesia is widely regarded as the gold standard to combat the pain that is present post abdominal surgeries, it is not devoid of drawbacks. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has developed as a potentially effective treatment for severe abdominal pain. The TAP block acts on the neuro-fascial plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles, which is innervated by spinal nerves from T6 to L1. Studies reveal that the addition of corticosteroids to bupivacaine in TAP blocks provides pain relief and improves the quality of life of the patient. Aims and objectives  In this study, the effects of bupivacaine and corticosteroids, particularly dexamethasone and methylprednisolone, on chronic abdominal pain following surgery are examined. Assessing the quality of pain relief is the primary objective. Methodology  Thirty patients who had undergone abdominal surgery and had been having persistent abdominal pain for six to eight months thereafter and had attempted unsuccessfully to treat the pain with alternative pain relief methods participated in the study. They were divided into two groups at random. Dexamethasone and bupivacaine were given to patients in Group D while methylprednisolone and bupivacaine were given to patients in Group M for ultrasonography (USG)-guided bilateral TAP blocks. At various intervals up to 12 weeks after injection, the patient's pain levels were measured using the visual analogue score (VAS), and their quality of life was assessed using the quality-of-life score. Results  Patients in Group M experienced significantly less pain than those in Group D at the fourth, sixth, and 12th weeks of treatment. Furthermore, in the fourth, sixth, and 12th weeks, patients in Group M reported a superior quality of life in comparison to those in Group D. Conclusion  Patients with persistent postoperative abdominal pain receiving bupivacaine and methylprednisolone in an ultrasonography-guided TAP block experience more effective and long-lasting pain relief than those who receive bupivacaine and dexamethasone. The quality of life for patients may be enhanced by using corticosteroids to optimise postoperative pain management strategies and lessen the need for opioids, as this study highlights.

    Abstract The best estimate of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) constrained based on the instrumental record of historical warming becomes coherent with other lines of evidence when the dependence of radiative feedback on the pattern of surface temperature change (pattern effect) is incorporated. Pattern effect strength is usually estimated with atmosphere-only model simulations forced with observed historical sea-surface temperature (SST) and sea-ice change and constant pre-industrial forcing. However, recent studies indicate that pattern effect estimates depend on the choice of SST boundary condition dataset, due to differences in the measurement sources and the techniques used to merge and construct them. Here, we systematically explore this dataset dependency by applying seven different observed SST datasets to the MPI-ESM1.2-LR model covering 1871–2017. We find that the pattern effect ranges from - 0.01 ± 0.09 <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="64pt" height="10pt" class="svg-formula" dspmath="mathimg" md5hash="777cc679781f35d6dc1f625b1f7bf436"><svg:image xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="acp-23-7535-2023-ie00001.svg" width="64pt" height="10pt" src="acp-23-7535-2023-ie00001.png"/></svg:svg> to 0.42±0.10 W m −2 K −1 (standard error), whereby the commonly used Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project II (AMIPII) dataset produces by far the largest estimate. When accounting for the generally weaker pattern effect in MPI-ESM1.2-LR compared to other models, as well as dataset dependency and intermodel spread, we obtain a combined pattern effect estimate of 0.37 W m −2 K −1 [ −0.14 to 0.88 W m −2 K −1 ] (5th–95th percentiles) and a resulting instrumental record ECS estimate of 3.2 K [1.8 to 11.0 K], which as a result of the weaker pattern effect is slightly lower and better constrained than in previous studies.

    Abstract Objectives: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a well-established and effective treatment for depression, though response rates are suboptimal. Personalising TMS for depression with neuroimaging can take into account inter-individual differences in anatomical and electrophysiological characteristics; and thereby provide a potentially more efficacious form of treatment. The current systematic review aimed to critically appraise the literature relating to personalising TMS for depression with neuroimaging.
    Methods: PubMed, PsycINFO and Embase databases were used to identify relevant literature published up to November 2020.
    Results: A total of 37 studies were included in the review. Across these studies, a total of 1451 patients with depression received TMS that was personalised using neuroimaging. The majority of the studies used structural or functional neuroimaging to personalise treatment target (
    Conclusions: The findings from this review suggest that personalising TMS with neuroimaging may be more effective in the treatment of depression compared to standard TMS. Further research is required to directly compare neuroimaging-personalised TMS with standard TMS, and to identify the optimal parameters for treatment personalisation.

    Abstract This narrative review examines the multifaceted realm of postoperative infections in gynaecology, addressing their significance, types, risk factors, prevention, management, and emerging trends. Postoperative infections, encompassing surgical site infections, urinary tract infections, and pelvic inflammatory disease, pose considerable challenges in patient care, warranting comprehensive exploration. Strategies for prevention include preoperative patient assessment, antimicrobial prophylaxis, and aseptic techniques. Intraoperative measures encompass infection control and instrument sterilization, while postoperative care involves wound management and early infection detection. Diagnostic tools, including blood tests, imaging, and microbiological cultures, aid in timely identification. Management strategies encompass antibiotic therapy, surgical interventions, supportive care, and addressing complications. The review underscores the necessity of personalized approaches, multidisciplinary collaboration, and innovative technologies in future infection management. It calls for ongoing research, heightened awareness, and meticulous care to minimize the impact of postoperative infections and optimize patient outcomes.

    Abstract Herein, we describe a formal dehydrogenative cross coupling of heterocycles with unactivated aliphatic amines. The resulting transformation enables the direct alkylation of common heterocycles by merging N-F-directed 1,5-HAT with Minisci chemistry, leading to predictable site selectivity. The reaction provides a direct route for the transformation of simple alkyl amines to value-added products under mild reaction conditions, making this an attractive option for C(sp
