Exploring the association between life's essential 8 and gallstone disease in the US adult population: a population-based study utilizing NHANES data from 2017-2018.

Background And Objective: Gallstones are a prevalent health issue, with established risk factors such as diet body mass index (BMI) and physical activity. However, the role of Life's Essential 8 (LE8), a composite measure of health behaviors and biological markers, in predicting gallstone risk remains unclear. This study aims to examine the association between LE8 scores and gallstone prevalence in a U.

Sulfur-modified chitosan derived N,S-co-doped carbon as a bifunctional material for adsorption and catalytic degradation sulfamethoxazole by persulfate.

N,S-co-doped carbons were synthesized through the calcination of sulfur-modified chitosan for the first time, and utilized as persulfate activators for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) remediation in water. The chitosan and sulfonyl chloride underwent one-step sulfonylation reaction to generate S-modified chitosan. The catalyst NSC-3 showed both excellent adsorption and catalytic oxidation efficiency, corresponding 98.
