Peroxydisulfate activation by synergized modified AgCuFeO@GO nanoparticle electrode with anchored MnO in cefixime three-dimensional electrochemical degradation: Optimization and mechanisms.

Cefixime (CFX) is a potent antibiotic against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria that resists degradation and typical removal procedures. This research aimed to synthesize a modified AgCuFeO@GO nanoparticle electrode with anchored MnO for removing CFX by three-dimensional electrochemical oxidation. The physical and chemical characteristics of the nanocomposite were evaluated using various techniques, including FESEM, XRD, EDS-mapping, FTIR, BET, VSM, and TGA.

Incidence of colorectal cancer in Iran: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is rising in Iran, but reports vary across different regions due to diverse methods and data sources. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta analysis to provide an overview of the incidence rate of CRC and its trend among Iranians in various provinces.

Materials And Methods: A comprehensive literature search based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses checklist was performed using national and international databases for papers published up to December 2023.

Harnessing multimodal approaches for depression detection using large language models and facial expressions.

Detecting depression is a critical component of mental health diagnosis, and accurate assessment is essential for effective treatment. This study introduces a novel, fully automated approach to predicting depression severity using the E-DAIC dataset. We employ Large Language Models (LLMs) to extract depression-related indicators from interview transcripts, utilizing the Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) score to train the prediction model.

Facing depression: evaluating the efficacy of the EmpkinS-EKSpression reappraisal training augmented with facial expressions - protocol of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Dysfunctional depressogenic cognitions are considered a key factor in the etiology and maintenance of depression. In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the current gold-standard psychotherapeutic treatment for depression, cognitive restructuring techniques are employed to address dysfunctional cognitions. However, high drop-out and non-response rates suggest a need to boost the efficacy of CBT for depression.

The Impact of the Fruit and Seed of Date on Childbirth Stages and Pregnancy Complications.

This review aimed to investigate the effects of date fruit products on childbirth and pregnancy-related complications. MeSH keywords were systematically searched in scientific databases, and 16 articles were reviewed. It was found that consuming 7 date fruits (average of 80 g) per day for 2-4 weeks before the estimated date of delivery leads to a better cervical dilatation at admission or improvement of Bishop score, a decrease in the need for induction or stimulation of labour and an increase in effective uterine contractions, which, in turn, decreases the duration of pregnancy and the different stages of labour.
