Objectives: To evaluate the combined effect of two different regenerative therapies, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), along with therapeutic exercise, in patients with lateral epicondylitis (LE).
Design: Prospective, Randomized, Sham-Controlled Trial.
Settings: Outpatient clinic.
The production of volatile fatty acids (VFA) through high-solids anaerobic fermentation of organic waste offers a promising route for resource recovery. This study used a batch-mode anaerobic leach bed reactor (LBR) with leachate circulation to ferment the organic fraction of municipal solid waste, producing high concentrations of butyric acid, along with notable amounts of lactic and caproic acids. These results provide valuable insights and underscore the need for process optimization within conventional fermentation systems.

This growth is primarily driven by population growth and the implementation of increasingly stringent environmental regulations. This increase in sewage sludge volume poses substantial challenges for sustainable management due to its complex composition.
