Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a major health issue in the North Africa and Middle East region, with an overall increase in incidence despite a slight decline in age-standardized rates from 1990 to 2021.
- Research showed that men face higher rates of CVD-related incidence, prevalence, and deaths, with ischemic heart disease and stroke being leading causes of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).
- Key risk factors include high blood pressure, unhealthy diets, and high LDL cholesterol, with areas affected by conflict experiencing even greater health burdens, highlighting the need for focused health interventions.
Photocatalysis-based technology has insight into decreasing the disadvantages of traditional approaches and has been identified as an appropriate way to eliminate dyes and bacteria from wastewater. In this work, FeO/rGO/TiO photocatalyst material was synthesized by a simple and fast hydrothermal method. The photocatalyst process results showed that FeO/rGO/TiO nanocomposite degraded methylene blue dye completely in 4 min.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study was performed among pregnant patients receiving obstetrical care at Kaiser Permanente Southern California health care system between January 1, 2008, and June 30, 2022. Using structured (diagnostic/procedural codes, medication, and laboratory records) and unstructured (clinical notes analyzed via natural language processing) data abstracted from EHRs, we extracted HDFN-specific "indicators" (maternal positive antibody test and abnormal antibody titer, maternal/infant HDFN diagnosis and blood transfusion, hydrops fetalis, infant intravenous immunoglobulin [IVIG] treatment, jaundice/phototherapy, and first administrated Rho[D] Immune Globulin) to identify potential HDFN pregnancies.
In the present study, Rgo/FeO/CdSe as a dark catalyst material was synthesized by a refluxing method. The synthesized magnetic nanocomposites were studied by various analyses such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Raman, Zeta and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Characterization of structural analysis showed that the nanocomposites were successfully synthesized.

Article Synopsis
- Lead (Pb) is a toxic heavy metal that poses health and environmental risks, increasing the need for efficient detection methods.
- A new photochemical approach was developed to create thioglycolic acid-stabilized CdTe/ZnSe quantum dots that fluoresce green and are highly sensitive to Pb ions, enabling the creation of a simple on-site sensor.
- This sensor can accurately detect Pb in various water samples with a detection limit of 31.8 nM, demonstrating effective performance in real-world conditions and potential for environmental monitoring.
