This study was aimed at the preparation of m-CoO NPs (magnetic CoO nanoparticles) from sunflower seed meal (SFSM) which is the waste of sunflower seed oil factories, and their application as a photocatalyst for the adsorption assistant photocatalysis degradation of methylene blue (MB), and direct yellow-50 (DY-50) under the visible irradiations. Also, the photocatalytic performance of m-CoO NPs was evaluated in synthetic wastewater. The produced m-CoO NPs were ferromagnetic with a saturation magnetization value of 4.

This study included 43 patients who underwent CF-LVAD implantation and 35 patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF; control group). The CF-LVAD group was divided into three subgroups based on aortic valve opening patterns: open with each beat, intermittently opening, and not opening groups.

It presents a clinical HF spectrum with left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
Background: The purpose of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the clinical characteristics, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging features, and end-points consisting of left ventricle recovery, left ventricular assist device implantation, heart transplantation, and all-cause mortality.
Remediation of organic dyes from wastewater in textile industries is a big challenge to decreasing water pollution. This study was aimed at the preparation of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) and their application as a photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue (MB), sunfix red (SR) and real textile wastewater (RTW) under both UV and visible irradiations. The ZnO NPs were synthesized with a green leaf extract-supported approach following the calcination process.

Whether it is a distinct form of cardiomyopathy or an anatomical phenotype is a subject of discussion. The current diagnosis is based on morphologic findings by comparing the compacted to non-compacted myocardium.
