Summary: In2O3-ZnO nanoflower-like acetone gas sensors were synthesized using a simple and green method. The sensor with a reaction time of 5 hours showed the best performance, with high sensitivity, low detection limit, good selectivity, and stability. The improved gas-sensitive performance was attributed to the heterogeneous structure between the two materials and the three-dimensional flower-like structure.

Summary: Metabolomics plays a crucial role in assessing oxidative stress in perinatal asphyxia, with potential diagnostic and prognostic implications. While blood, plasma, and urine are commonly used for metabolomics analyses, the potential of saliva remains underexplored. Accumulating evidence supports the development of bedside methods to measure oxidative stress metabolites, with saliva as a candidate biofluid for point-of-care diagnostics.
