Co-production of lipases and biosurfactants by in solid-state fermentation.

Unlabelled: The production of biosurfactants and lipases through solid-state fermentation (SSF) processes remains relatively unexplored, especially in bacterial applications. The use of solid matrices, eliminating the need for precipitation and recovery processes, holds significant potential for facilitating bioremediation. This study aimed to simultaneously produce biocompounds via SSF using and employ the fermented substrate for remediating soil contaminated with 20% biodiesel.

Square technique-A treatment for cellulite with large size particle hyaluronic acid.

Gynoid lipodystrophy, also called cellulite, is defined as a metabolic disorder of the subcutaneous tissue that alters body contour. It is rare in men but affects 80%-90% of adult women.The authors describe a technique for the treatment of cellulite with non-traumatic subcision of septa by cannula associated with large-gel-particle hyaluronic acid (HA).

REMAP Periop: a randomised, embedded, multifactorial adaptive platform trial protocol for perioperative medicine to determine the optimal enhanced recovery pathway components in complex abdominal surgery patients within a US healthcare system.

Introduction: Implementation of enhanced recovery pathways (ERPs) has resulted in improved patient-centred outcomes and decreased costs. However, there is a lack of high-level evidence for many ERP elements. We have designed a randomised, embedded, multifactorial, adaptive platform perioperative medicine (REMAP Periop) trial to evaluate the effectiveness of several perioperative therapies for patients undergoing complex abdominal surgery as part of an ERP.

Techniques and mechanisms of bacteria immobilization on biochar for further environmental and agricultural applications.

Bacteria immobilization on biochar is a promising approach to achieve high concentration and stability of microbial cells for several applications. The present review addressed the techniques utilized for bacteria immobilization on biochar, discussing the mechanisms involved in this process, as well as the further utilization in bioremediation and agriculture. This article presents three immobilization techniques, which vary according to their procedures and conditions, including cell growth, adsorption, and adaptation.

Biochar-immobilized Bacillus spp. for heavy metals bioremediation: A review on immobilization techniques, bioremediation mechanisms and effects on soil.

Heavy metals contamination present risks to ecosystems and human health. Bioremediation is a technology that has been applied to minimize the levels of heavy metals contamination. However, the efficiency of this process varies according to several biotic and abiotic aspects, especially in environments with high concentrations of heavy metals.
