Article Synopsis
- The growth of the graphite market is driven by the demand for lithium-ion batteries, leading to substantial waste in the form of graphite fines.
- Researchers have developed a method to transform these waste fines into graphene oxide-based nanohybrids, which are effective and non-toxic antibacterial agents.
- The new nanohybrids, specifically GO-GPEI and GO-SPEI, show superior antibacterial properties against E. coli and low toxicity to mammalian cells, making them promising candidates for use in disinfection applications.
Background: Hepatic resectional surgery remains a highly specialized area of general surgery usually reserved for completion at tertiary metropolitan referral centres. Port Macquarie, on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, is the only regionally based hospital offering surgery of this nature in mainland Australia. The purpose of this study is to review the data for patients undergoing hepatic resectional surgery in this non-metropolitan centre in order to illustrate that these operations can be carried out safely in a regional setting with comparable results to tertiary-level centres.

Methods: Studies eligible for this systematic review included those in which patients with gastric cancer were randomly assigned to receive surgery combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapy versus surgery without intraperitoneal chemotherapy. There were no language restrictions.
