Sustainable development of bioepoxy composites reinforced with recycled rigid polyurethane foam for mechanical, thermal, acoustic, and electromagnetic applications in a circular economy approach.

The accumulation of polyurethane (PU) waste presents a critical environmental challenge due to the inefficiencies of traditional disposal methods like landfilling and incineration. This study introduces a sustainable approach by repurposing 99.89% pure rigid polyurethane foam granules (~ 150 µm) as fillers (5 wt.

Laterite Integrated Persulfate Based Advanced Oxidation and Biological Treatment for Textile Industrial Effluent Remediation: Optimization and Field Application.

This study investigated a combined approach of a persulfate-based advanced oxidation process (AOP) followed by biological treatment of a textile industrial effluent. The effluent from the textile industry is primarily composed of various dyes in varying concentrations, resulting in high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD). The model pollutant rhodamine B (RhB) was used in the optimization studies.

Characterization of A Bronchoscopically Induced Transgenic Lung Cancer Pig Model for Human Translatability.

Background: There remains a need for animal models with human translatability in lung cancer (LC) research. Findings in pigs have high impact on humans due to similar anatomy and physiology. We present the characterization of a bronchoscopically-induced LC model in Oncopigs carrying inducible KRAS and TP53 mutations.

Utility of Non-albumin Proteinuria for the Assessment of the Severity of Tubulointerstitial Inflammation in Lupus Nephritis Patients.

Background Lupus nephritis (LN) is the most common severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that can involve all kidney components. The International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society (ISN/RPS) 2003 lupus nephritis classification only focuses on glomerular involvement, although tubulointerstitial inflammation (TI) is a better predictor of renal failure.  Objective To determine the association of non-albumin proteinuria (NAP) and severity of tubulointerstitial inflammation in lupus nephritis patients.

Comparative Analysis of Long-term Success Rates and Patient Satisfaction among Different Implant Placement Techniques for Implant-Supported Restorations: A Prospective Clinical Trial.

Objective: This prospective clinical trial aimed to rigorously investigate and compare the long-term success rates of implant-supported restorations using various implant placement techniques, including conventional two-stage implant placement, immediate implant placement, and guided implant surgery.

Methods: A total of 168 participants were randomly assigned to three groups. Comprehensive preoperative assessments, involving detailed medical and dental histories, thorough clinical examinations, and cone-beam computed tomography scans, were conducted.
