Aim: Acute kidney injury (AKI) worsens the outcome in a significant number of hospitalized patients. Risk models mainly address cardiac surgery, while significantly less attention is paid to AKI after major abdominal surgery (MAS). This study aims to evaluate the incidence, along with risk factors, and intrahospital outcomes of AKI after MAS.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on the edible mushroom Murrill, known for its health benefits and examined its phenolic content through high-performance liquid chromatography.
  • - It was found that an ethanolic extract from Murrill showed potential antimicrobial and anticancer properties, particularly in reducing cancer cell migration without harming probiotic bacteria’s ability to form biofilms.
  • - Key findings revealed that while the extract contains a high level of phenolics (notably rosmarinic acid), it exhibited low toxicity to cancer cells and significant antimigratory effects, suggesting its potential role as a natural supplement to enhance probiotic efficacy and combat cancer progression.

The spillage of oil causes severe and long-lasting impacts on both the environment and human life. It is crucial to carefully reconsider the methods and techniques currently employed to recover spilled oil in order to prevent any possible secondary pollution and save time. Therefore, the techniques used to recover spilled oil should be readily available, highly responsive, cost-effective, environmentally safe, and, last but not least, they should have a high sorption capacity.
