Synthesis of Tin Oxide Nanoparticles from E-Waste for Photocatalytic Mixed-Dye Degradation under Sunlight.

Electronic waste (e-waste) has become a significant environmental concern worldwide due to the rapid advancement of technology and short product lifecycles. Waste-printed electronic boards (WPCBs) contain valuable metals and semiconductors; among them, tin can be recycled and repurposed for sustainable material production. This study presents a potential ecofriendly methodology for the recovery of tin from WPCBs in the form of tin oxide nanostructured powders.

Exploring neurosurgical interventions in Alzheimer's disease: current perspectives and future directions.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, has traditionally relied on pharmacological interventions. However, the limitations of current treatments have spurred interest in neurosurgical approaches. This review explores the potential of neurosurgery, particularly deep brain stimulation (DBS), in modifying disease progression and enhancing cognitive function in AD patients.

Leveraging plant-based remediation technologies against chromite mining toxicity.

The release of hazardous hexavalent chromium from chromite mining seriously threatens habitats and human health by contaminating water, air, and soil. Vulnerability to hexavalent chromium can result in significant health risks, respiratory issues, gastrointestinal illnesses, skin problems in humans, and a plethora of toxic effects in animals. Moreover, Cr(VI) toxicity can adversely affect plant physiology by inhibiting seed germination, nutrient uptake, cell division, and root development, ultimately impairing growth and vitality.

Interventions to promote colorectal cancer screening among people with a family history of colorectal cancer: A scoping review.

Background: The global incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is rising, with people having a family history of CRC (PFH-CRC) facing double the risk compared to the average-risk population. Despite this, CRC screening uptake among PFH-CRC remains low. There is a lack of systematic mapping of interventions promoting CRC screening in this high-risk population.
