Effectiveness of Field Simulation Approach for Problem-Based Learning That Incorporates the One Health Concept.

One Health problem-based learning (PBL) is known as an effective method in teaching zoonotic diseases. However, the classic classroom setting limits real-life exposure for students. Simulation-based learning may improve the learning experience without exposing the students to unnecessary risks.

Performance of NiO doped on alkaline sludge from waste photovoltaic industries for catalytic dry reforming of methane.

Alkali sludge (AS) is waste abundantly generated from solar photovoltaic (PV) solar cell industries. Since this potential basic material is still underutilized, a combination with NiO catalyst might greatly influence coke resentence, especially in high-temperature thermochemical reactions (Arora and Prasad, RSC Adv. 6:108,668-108688, 2016).

Concordance between muscle mass assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis and by muscle ultrasound: a cross-sectional study in a cohort of patients on chronic hemodialysis.

Background: Sarcopenia is a common problem in hemodialysis (HD) patients, and it is diagnosed by low muscle mass, strength and/or low physical performance. Muscle ultrasound (US) is a non-invasive portable tool that might be used for assessment of muscle mass. The aim of the current study was to investigate the concordance between muscle US and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in diagnosis of sarcopenia in HD patients.

Interpositional Arthroplasty With Quadriceps Tendon in Patellofemoral Joint Osteoarthritis: An Alternative Way.

We present a case report of a 45-year-old Malay female prison officer with a diagnosis of lateral patellofemoral joint (PFJ) osteoarthritis (OA) in her right knee for whom conservative treatment failed. She was periodically followed up for the unresolving anterior right knee pain, and the patient was offered interpositional PFJ arthroplasty with the quadriceps tendon. A novel technique of interpositional PFJ arthroplasty using lateral inner section ipsilateral quadriceps tendon was applied.

Chemoselective decarboxylation of ceiba oil to diesel-range alkanes over a red mud based catalyst under H-free conditions.

Concerns over global greenhouse gas emissions such as CO and NO as well as the depletion of petroleum fossil resources have motivated humankind to seek an alternative energy source known as green diesel. In this study, green diesel was produced a deoxygenation (DO) reaction of ceiba oil under a H-free atmosphere over Ni modified red mud-based catalysts, which have been synthesized a precipitation - deep-deposition assisted autoclave method. The obtained catalyst was further characterized by XRF, XRD, BET, FTIR, TPD-NH, FESEM, and TGA.
