Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show promise for the capture of greenhouse gases. To be used at a large scale in fixed-bed processes, their shaping under a hierarchical structure is mandatory and remains a major challenge, while keeping available their high specific surface area. For that purpose, we propose herein an original method based on the stabilization of a paraffin-in-water Pickering emulsion by a fluorinated Zr MOF (UiO-66(F4)) with polyHIPEs (polymers from high internal phase emulsions) strategy consisting of the polymerization of monomers in the external phase.

Their synthesis relies on the shaping of a lead-vanadate, lead sulfide and alginic acid mix as millimetric beads. These beads were calcined between 220°C and 500°C to remove organic alginic compounds template.

Methods: Bile was obtained from 32 patients with PSC, 23 with CCA with PSC, 26 with CCA without PSC, and 17 controls.
Background And Aims: Several quantitative and qualitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) metrics have been reported to predict outcomes among those with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). We aimed to compare the reproducibility and prognostic performances of MRI biomarkers and examine if combining these measurements adds value.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 388 patients with PSC who underwent a magnetic resonance elastography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.
Article Synopsis
- The Mayo-Baylor RIGHT 10K Study focused on using pharmacogenomics to improve drug prescriptions based on genetic information in a large population.
- Researchers sequenced the DNA of over 10,000 participants to identify genetic variations affecting drug responses, and integrated these findings into electronic health records.
- Results showed that 79% of participants had actionable genetic variants affecting their medication, highlighting the need for a proactive approach to personalized medicine in clinical care.
