Rationale: Infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) is an immune-mediated glomerulonephritis caused by extra-renal infectious diseases. There has been an important shift in epidemiology in recent years, with a significant proportion of adults affected. The incidence of IRGN is higher amongst Indigenous populations and especially in those with multiple comorbidities.

- Eggshells, often discarded as waste, are rich in minerals and can pose environmental hazards if not disposed of properly; however, they can be transformed into valuable materials through calcination.
- This process enhances eggshells to create calcium oxide (CaO) nanoparticles that are effective in photocatalytic pollution remediation, antibacterial activities, and other environmental applications.
- The study confirms that the CaO nanoparticles derived from eggshells showcase strong catalytic properties and can effectively degrade pollutants like methylene blue dye.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined how phenylephrine (PE) affects both brain and skeletal muscle microcirculation in rats using a combination of hyperspectral near-infrared spectroscopy and diffuse correlation spectroscopy.
- Results showed that PE caused a decrease in oxygenation and blood flow in skeletal muscle while increasing cerebral oxygenation and perfusion initially, despite a later drop in brain blood flow.
- The findings suggest that while PE induces vasoconstriction in skeletal muscles, it can redirect and enhance blood flow to the brain, indicating a complex interplay between peripheral and cerebral circulation.
Water can be sustainably and ecologically converted by electrocatalysts into hydrogen and oxygen, which, in turn, can be converted into energy. However, the advancement of using water as green energy is hampered by limitations in the study of high-performance catalysts. The purpose of this study was to construct an electrocatalyst by anchoring well-dispersed multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on nickel-copper (NiCu-MOF) nanoblocks through a simple solvothermal method.
