Article Synopsis
- The study involved 15 PC patients participating in an 8-week intervention of cognitive training and group therapy, while a control group of 15 PC patients underwent assessments without participation to measure cognitive performance.
- Findings showed significant improvements in many cognitive areas for the intervention group, particularly in verbal memory and visuo-spatial skills, supporting the idea that structured group therapy and cognitive training can be beneficial for PC patients dealing with cognitive issues.

Their structure and morphology were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman dispersive spectroscopy, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H NMR and C NMR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), whereas their mechanical properties were evaluated by a universal testing machine. Additionally, their water uptake, swelling behavior, and degradation were evaluated to be used as drug delivery carriers.

These pollutants are commonly removed by adsorption because it is an effective and economical method. Previously, we reported adsorption capacity of a chitosan/polyurethane/titanium dioxide (TiO₂) composite for three ions in a dynamic wastewater system.
