Blind Spot in the Radar of MEST-C Score: Type and Severity of Tubulointerstitial Nephritis in IgA Nephropathy by Iram Asrar, Mudassar Hussain, Aurangzeb Afzal, Usman Hassan, Sheeba Ishtiaq

“…The updated version of predictive classification for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) prognosis “The Oxford Classification” identifies five histopathological features including mesangial hypercellularity (M), endocapillary proliferation (E), segmental glomerulosclerosis (S), tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis (T) and crescents (C), the MEST-C. However, few studies suggest that tubulointerstitial inflammation, which is not included in the MEST-C, is also linked to disease progression and is, consequently, a neglected determinant of prognosis among others. …”

Two-dimensional XMoSiP2/BP (X= S, Se) Heterostructures as Efficient Photocatalysts for Overall Water Splitting by Somayeh Gholami Rudi, Nayereh Ghobadi, Samaneh Soleimani-Amiri

“…The band diagram shows that these structures have a direct band gap in the range of 0.66 to 1.27 eV. By determining the contribution of BP and XMoSiP2 in the energy band diagram of XMoSiP2/BP, it is shown that the investigated structures have type II band alignment, which renders them as suitable photocatalysts for water splitting. …”
