Transcriptomic analysis and cellular responses to nanoscale zero-valent iron in green microalga Raphidocelis subcapitata.

Nanoscale zero valent iron (nZVI) is used to remediate aquifers polluted by organochlorines or heavy metals and was also suggested to eliminate harmful algal blooms. nZVI can therefore affect microorganisms in the vicinity of the application area, including microalgae. However, studies on early transcriptomic effects of microalgae after exposure to nZVI are rare.

The Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Infantile Seizures in the First Year of Life: A Single-Center Study.

Background: Epilepsy has a high incidence among infants during their first year of life, yet the prognosis can vary significantly. Although considerable research has been conducted on infantile spasms, studies examining infantile-onset epilepsy, excluding infantile spasms, remain limited, particularly concerning the factors influencing outcomes. Therefore, our study aims to elucidate seizure control, developmental outcomes, and prognostic factors in infants with epilepsy during their first year of life, within a single-center study in Malaysia.

A risk-based soft sensor for failure rate monitoring in water distribution network via adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference systems.

Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) are considered one of the most important water infrastructures, and their study is of great importance. In the meantime, it seems necessary to investigate the factors involved in the failure of the urban water distribution network to optimally manage water resources and the environment. This study investigated the impact of influential factors on the failure rate of the water distribution network in Birjand, Iran.

The Effect of Pre-operative use of Antiplatelets and Anticoagulants on Time to Surgery in Hip Fracture Patients.

Introduction: Hip fractures are a major health concern resulting in significant morbidity worldwide. They are the leading cause of fall-related injuries amongst the elderly with high risk of death, and numbers are expected to rise with the growing elderly population. Expedited surgical repair has been proven to improve patient outcomes, however there are often multiple barriers to early surgery especially in the elderly.

Dissolved iron released from nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) activates the defense system in bacterium Pseudomonas putida, leading to high tolerance to oxidative stress.

Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has increasingly been applied to remediate aquifers polluted by organochlorines or heavy metals. As a result, bacteria in the vicinity of remediate action can be stressed by surplus iron released from nZVI. However, the understanding of the iron stress defense pathways during this process is currently incomplete.
