Enhancing CO capture in cement-based materials with alkanolamines: A comprehensive study on efficiency, phase-specific impact, and carbonation mechanisms.

The escalating issue of global warming, driven by the surge in CO emissions, necessitates innovative strategies for reducing CO emissions. A novel approach is explored in this study, where amines featuring a basic N atom with a lone pair are incorporated into cement paste to facilitate CO capture from the environment. Unlike conventional applications, the focus is on the collaborative effect of various amines on CO capture within diverse calcium-rich phases, encompassing portlandite and Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate (C-S-H).

Dental Care to Reduce Aspiration Pneumonia Recurrence: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Aspiration pneumonia has a high recurrence rate, and oral care by dentists has been found effective in preventing its onset; however, this has not been evaluated using prospective studies. Therefore, we conducted a prospective study to evaluate the effectiveness of professional oral care by dentists in reducing aspiration pneumonia recurrence in older adult patients.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we evaluated a dental oral care intervention, using a historical control group (control group).

Identification of novel neuroblastoma biomarkers in urine samples.

Urine is a complex liquid containing numerous small molecular metabolites. The ability to non-invasively test for cancer biomarkers in urine is especially beneficial for screening child patients. This study attempted to identify neuroblastoma biomarkers by comprehensively analysing urinary metabolite samples from children.

Carbon nanohorn coating by electrodeposition accelerate bone formation on titanium implant.

Direct contact between bone and implant materials is required for dental implants. Titanium is used for the implant material owing to its mechanical and biological properties. The anodisation as the surface treatment was employed to enhance osteogenesis around titanium.
