In 1998, O'Loan et al. introduced a simplified bus-route model to illustrate bus dynamics. However, fluctuations in passenger numbers make it challenging to achieve an exact solution for the model's stationary state, as these fluctuations can impact bus behavior.

This work introduces a simple and cost-effective method for removal atrazine pesticide residue (APR) from agricultural wastewater using Cu doped-ZnO photocatalyst (Cu-ZnO). The modification of ZnO with Cu significantly improved its optical and photoelectrochemical properties, with the band gap narrowing from 3.

- This study aimed to identify differences in chest pain characteristics between patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and those without at the Vietnam National Heart Institute.
- The research found that factors like smoking and personal/family heart disease history increased the risk of experiencing ACS-related chest pain.
- Patients without ACS typically reported milder and activity-triggered pain, while ACS-related pain was more severe, often occurring at rest and accompanied by other symptoms like sweating, suggesting the need for more awareness and educational resources on these chest pain differences.
Aim: To evaluate the safety and outcomes of modified Kasai operation combined with autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMNC) infusion for biliary atresia (BA).
Methods: A matched control study was conducted between January 2015 and December 2021. Ten consecutive children with biliary atresia (BA) who underwent the modified Kasai operation combined with autologous BMMNC infusion (cell therapy group) and ten children who had only the modified Kasai operation (control group) were included in the study.
When implantable medical devices come into contact with blood, acute thrombosis and inflammation often occur due to the adhesion and denaturation of plasma proteins, ultimately degrading device performance. To address this issue, we developed a gel-like coating with superhydrophilic properties, incorporating a heparin based outer layer designed to minimize foreign body reactions and enhance hemocompatibility. The coating was engineered using a layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of poly-l-lysine (PLL), laponite (Lap), and heparin (Hep), utilizing electrostatic interactions.
