Article Synopsis
- Water contamination by oil pollutants is a significant environmental issue affecting human and marine life, prompting research into materials for oil-water separation.
- Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their composites show promise due to their porous structures that can target specific phases in mixtures, but their use is limited by stability and processability issues.
- Recent advancements focus on enhancing MOFs with hydrophobic properties and incorporating them into polymer composites to improve stability, recyclability, and applicability in natural settings, while addressing ongoing challenges in the field.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes cysteine-rich secretory proteins and PR1-like genes in finger lime, focusing on their response to Huanglongbing disease.
- CaCAP2 gene showed a dramatic increase in expression during infection compared to sweet orange, indicating its importance in the plant's defense.
- The research also highlights the CAP2 gene's role in stress management and reveals genetic differences between finger lime and sweet orange that may affect their responses to environmental stresses.
Background And Aims: Palliative care in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) faces challenges despite the high number of patients in need. To provide accessible, affordable, and timely services, it is crucial to adopt a suitable care model. World health organization (WHO) recommends integrating palliative care with primary health care (PHC).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe demand for skin models as alternatives to animal testing has grown due to ethical concerns and the need for accurate substance evaluation. These alternatives, known as New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), are increasingly used for regulatory decisions. Current skin models from primary human cells often rely on bovine collagen, raising ethical issues.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a severe condition characterized by inflammation of the heart endocardium and valves, commonly caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Complications such as embolic phenomena and organ abscesses can arise, necessitating timely diagnosis and intervention.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 20-year-old female with a history of cerebral and splenic infarctions due to IE.
