Effectiveness of polyacrylamide-g-gelatin/ACL/Mg-Fe LDH composite hydrogel as an eliminator of crystal violet dye.

Cationic synthetic dyes are one of the hazards in aqueous solutions that can affect the health of humans and living organisms. In the current work, polyacrylamide (PAM)-g-gelatin hydrogel and modified PAM-g-gelatin hydrogel using activated carbon of Luffa cylindrica (ACL) and ACL/Mg-Fe LDH were applied to eliminate crystal violet (CV), a cationic dye, from water media. The hydrogels were synthesized using free radical polymerization approach, and the hydrogels were characterized using FTIR, XRD, TGA-DTG, BET, SEM, and EDX-Map.

QTc is Prolonged in Patients with SSc and Associates with Skin Score.

Background: Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterised by endothelial dysfunction and fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Cardiac involvement during systemic sclerosis can be primary or secondary to pulmonary arterial hypertension and renal pathology. Among the disorders in systemic sclerosis, prolongation of QTc time is also associated with more anti-RNA polymerase III antibodies, longer duration, and severity of disease.

Surface magnetization of hydrolyzed Luffa Cylindrica biowaste with cobalt ferrite nanoparticles for facile Ni removal from wastewater.

A novel magnetic adsorbent based on hydrolyzed Luffa Cylindrica (HLC) was synthesized through the chemical co-precipitation technique, and its potential was evaluated in the adsorptive elimination of divalent nickel ions from water medium. Morphological assessment and properties of the adsorbent were performed using FTIR, SEM, EDX, XRD, BET, and TEM techniques. The effect of pH, temperature, time and nickel concentration on the removal efficiency was studied, and pH = 6, room temperature (25 °C), contact time of 60 min, and Ni ion concentration of 10 mg.

3D porous bioadsorbents based on chitosan/alginate/cellulose nanofibers as efficient and recyclable adsorbents of anionic dye.

Natural polysaccharides are attractive materials for fabrication of eco-friendly biodsorbents for efficient water remediation. However, scarcity of adsorbents that possess features of high stability and adsorption capacity at various pH conditions, low-cost, eco-friendly, and recycleability at the same time still remains a great challenge. Herein, porous ionically crosslinked biofoams were prepared by freeze-drying of chitosan (CS)/sodium alginate (SA) complex (CSA).

Detection of Carious Lesions and Restorations Using Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm.

Background/Purpose. In terms of the detection of tooth diagnosis, no intelligent detection has been done up till now. Dentists just look at images and then they can detect the diagnosis position in tooth based on their experiences.

A bilateral pediculated palatal periosteal connective tissue flap for coverage of large bone grafts in the anterior maxillary region.

Introduction: Coverage of bone grafts is very important in reconstructive surgery. In edentulous alveolar ridges this coverage is particularly important for supporting dental prostheses. Here we present the case of a patient with a large deficient maxillary anterior region that was reconstructed with a bilateral palatal submucosal periosteal connective tissue flap: a soft tissue reserve for upper jaw reconstructive surgeries.
