Article Synopsis
  • Despite a decline in coal use in the US, over 90 million metric tons were exported in 2023, creating concerns about coal dust exposure among residents of Curtis Bay, Baltimore, who live near an open-air coal terminal.
  • A study aimed to address community concerns by analyzing settled dust samples from two locations near the terminal, using advanced techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to identify coal particles.
  • The analysis confirmed the presence of coal dust in both residential areas, with higher concentrations closer to the terminal, substantiating the residents' long-standing worries about coal dust accumulation in their environment.

Primary graft dysfunction is a major early complication following liver transplantation, potentially leading to retransplantation or patient death. Coagulation Factor V (FV) and ALT have emerged as important biomarkers in assessing liver function, yet their role as early predictors of graft loss has not been fully validated. The aim of this study is to conduct an internal validation of published results on the applicability of FV and ALT for diagnosing graft dysfunction and its predictive ability for graft loss within the first 90 days.

Article Synopsis
  • Lack of research on treating refractory hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) post-liver transplant leads to this case study that shows promising outcomes using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
  • A 59-year-old patient with alcohol-related liver cirrhosis faced severe hypoxemia and required intensive care, where ECMO was implemented after other therapies failed, resulting in significant recovery.
  • The patient was discharged after 27 days with improved oxygen saturation and no symptoms, although he required steroids for acute rejection episodes.

Broccoli has gained popularity as a highly consumed vegetable due to its nutritional and health properties. This study aimed to evaluate the composition profile and the antioxidant capacity of a hydrophilic extract derived from broccoli byproducts, as well as its influence on redox biology, Alzheimer's disease markers, and aging in the model. The presence of glucosinolate was observed and antioxidant capacity was demonstrated both and .

In this study, the phytochemical profile of fifty olive leaves (OL) extracts from Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, and Morocco was characterized and their anti-cholinergic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities were evaluated. Luteolin-7-O-glucoside, isoharmnentin, and apigenin were involved in the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity, while oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol showed noteworthy potential. Secoiridoids contributed to the cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitory activity and antioxidant capacity.
