Simultaneously hydrophilic and oleophobic surfaces offer substantial advantages for applications such as antifogging, self-cleaning, and oil-water separation. It remains challenging to engineer such surfaces without requiring polar functional groups. This study introduces HFIL, a novel ionic liquid (IL) coating that achieves simultaneous hydrophilic and oleophobic properties via a one-step dip-coating process without relying on polar functional groups.

- A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the awake-prone position for patients with COVID-19-related acute respiratory failure requiring high-flow nasal oxygen in Argentina.
- The study included 728 patients across two waves of the pandemic, comparing outcomes like endotracheal intubation and in-hospital mortality between those in the awake-prone position and those in a non-prone position.
- Results showed that the awake-prone position significantly reduced the risk of both endotracheal intubation and in-hospital mortality, with consistent benefits observed across different waves of the pandemic.
Use of isotopic (C, Cl) and molecular biology tools to assess biodegradation in a source area of chlorinated ethenes after biostimulation with Emulsified Vegetable Oil (EVO).

Enhanced In Situ Bioremediation (EISB) using Emulsified Vegetable Oil (EVO) as a long-term electron donor has gained prominence for the treatment of groundwater contaminated with chlorinated ethenes (CEs). This study explores the potential of isotopic and molecular biology tools (MBT) to investigate the CEs (PCE, TCE and cis-DCE) bioremediation using EVO in a contaminated site. A multiple approach using C and Cl-CSIA, quantification of Dehalococcoides (Dhc) and specific reductive dechlorination (RD) gene population, and hydrochemical data in microcosm experiments and field samples was applied.
