Article Synopsis
- Biogas digestate, a byproduct of anaerobic digestion, is a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer that supports sustainable agriculture, but presents significant challenges related to nutrient overload and contamination.
- Current regulations in the EU and UK set specific limits on nitrogen application from digestate, but many countries lack standardized limits, especially for harmful substances like antibiotics and microplastics.
- There is a call for stronger regulations to address these risks and ensure the safe use of biogas digestate in agriculture.
Introduction: Prior to any surgical intervention, obtaining informed consent is necessary. In situations where patients are unable to provide informed consent due to mental incapacity or reduced consciousness, the responsibility falls on surrogate decision-makers, typically family members. This predicament commonly arises during neurosurgical emergencies.

- Rice straw (RS) is an abundant agricultural waste that has low digestibility and nutritional value, limiting its use for biogas and animal feed purposes.* -
- This study investigates enhancing RS's digestibility and nutritional content by growing the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris on RS using liquid manure (LM), leading to higher chlorophyll and microalgal biomass numbers.* -
- The results indicate that the combined method significantly improves RS's digestibility (up to 69.1%) and nutritional contents, resulting in increased biogas production and potential applications in feed.*
While linagliptin is the most potent dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor, its use is limited due to poor bioavailability and the potential risk of pancreatic injury. Here, we investigated whether the sustained weekly administration of linagliptin could provide better effect compared to frequent daily oral administration. Type 2 diabetes was induced by feeding rats a high fructose/fat/salt diet followed by STZ injection.

The aetiology can be divided into primary and secondary causes. While primary acrocyanosis is generally painless and has a benign course, secondary causes may lead to complications.
