Optimizing intermittent micro-aeration as a strategy for enhancing aniline anaerobic biodegradation: kinetic, ecotoxicity, and microbial community dynamics analyses.
Water Sci Technol
August 2024
Groundwater and soil contamination by aromatic amines (AAs), used in the production of polymers, plastics, and pesticides, often results from improper waste disposal and accidental leaks. These compounds are resistant to anaerobic degradation; however, micro-aeration can enhance this process by promoting microbial interactions. In batch assays, anaerobic degradation of aniline (0.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of ECGs by physicians who are members of the Guinean Association of Sports Physicians, during the non-contraindication visit for competitive sports between the ages of 12 and 35.
Methodology: We conducted a web-survey from July 15 to August 15, 2023.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) during the first year of the pandemic, focusing on hospitals in Bangladesh, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Lebanon, Madagascar, and Mali.
- Overall, 1,096 patients were studied, with a median age of 49 and a clinical severity rate of 12.3%, indicating significant variations in severity across countries, particularly higher in Guinea.
- Key findings revealed that older age and chronic conditions like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes were major factors increasing the severity of COVID-19 in these populations, especially affecting younger individuals with underlying health issues.
Unlabelled: Epilepsy is a major public health problem in developing countries where eighty percent (80%) of people with epilepsy (PWE) live. Stigma has psychological consequences as well as serious repercussions on patients' quality of life. This study assesses the perception of health professionals in Africa regarding the stigmatization of PWE.
