Nano-sized hematite-assembled carbon spheres for effectively adsorbing paracetamol in water: Important role of iron.

Unlabelled: This study developed a new -FeO (hematite) nanoparticles-loaded spherical biochar (H-SB) through the direct pyrolysis of glucose-derived spherical hydrochar and FeCl. The optimal impregnation ratio (hydrochar and FeCl) was 1/1.25 (wt/wt).

Beyond Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Basaloid Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Esophagus.

Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a poorly differentiated variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with distinct morphologic characteristics. Yet, there are no clearly defined guidelines established for management. BSCC in the esophagus is a very rare entity, with the proportion of esophageal BSCC ranging from 0.

Nationwide variability of colonoscopy preparation instructions.

Background: Patients undergoing colonoscopy are typically provided preparation instructions. However, these are not standardized for type of bowel purgative, dietary restrictions, or management of prescription and nonprescription medications.

Aim: To examine the degree of variability in colonoscopy instructions across the USA.
