Public reporting in five health care areas: A comparative content analysis across nine countries.

Background: Public reporting is crucial to enhance transparency, accountability, and informed provider choice. Therefore, providing accessible and reliable information on provider performance and activities is key for all healthcare areas and the utilization of information by patients, providers and related audiences.

Objective: This study provides an extensive analysis of public reporting websites across nine high income countries, focusing on five healthcare areas, and aims to understand how these websites support patients in making informed choices about healthcare providers.

Treatment of industrial textile wastewater by means of forward osmosis aiming to recover dyes and clean water.

The textile industry is one of the largest water consumers, and, as a result of its activity, it generates tons of wastewater. In this research, forward osmosis has been employed to tackle the critical need of treating textile wastewater. The HFFO2 membrane (Aquaporin) was used to process large volumes of real cotton dyeing wastewater, wool dyeing wastewater, and several types of textile end-of-pipe wastewater.

New Upper Limit on the Axion-Photon Coupling with an Extended CAST Run with a Xe-Based Micromegas Detector.

Hypothetical axions provide a compelling explanation for dark matter and could be emitted from the hot solar interior. The CERN Axion Solar Telescope has been searching for solar axions via their back conversion to x-ray photons in a 9-T 10-m long magnet directed toward the Sun. We report on an extended run with the International Axion Observatory pathfinder detector, doubling the previous exposure time.

Dual transcatheter edge-to-edge repair in a patient with cardiac amyloidosis and severe secondary mitral and tricuspid regurgitation: a case report.

Background: Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its non-specific symptoms and limited treatment options. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is complicated by altered cardiac geometry, advanced restriction, and potential amyloid valve deposits.

Case Summary: We present the case of dual TEER in a 79-year-old male with advanced transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) and severe symptomatic mitral and tricuspid regurgitation.
