The Upper Extremity Lymphatic System Is Not Symmetrical in Individuals: An Anatomic Study Utilizing ICG Lymphography and SPECT/CT Lymphoscintigraphy.

Objective: We evaluated whether superficial lymphatic anatomy and functional lymph node drainage are symmetric between the right and left upper extremities of healthy female volunteers, and if handedness is associated with symmetry of superficial lymphatic anatomy.

Background: Symmetry of lymphatic anatomy has been assumed historically. This assumption of individual anatomic symmetry is being utilized clinically and in research without validation.

Liquid-liquid extraction of selenium (IV) ions from hydrochloric acid solution using Aliquat 336 dissolved in kerosene.

Solvent extraction of selenium(IV) ions from highly concentrated hydrochloric acid using 0.4 mol/L Aliquat 336 dissolved in kerosene was investigated. As a modifying agent, 1-octanol (10% v/v) was added to the organic phase to avoid the third phase formation.

NanoTafla Nanocomposite as a Novel Low-Cost and Eco-Friendly Sorbent for Strontium and Europium Ions.

Now the wide use of nanooxides is attributed to their remarkable collection of properties. Nanocomposites have an impressive variety of important applications. A thermal decomposition approach provides a more optimistic method for nanocrystal synthesis due to the low cost, high efficiency, and expectations for large-scale production.

Hemofiltration in the Management of Severe Pediatric Burns: Experience in a UK Burns Centre and Systematic Review.

Pediatric burns are life-threatening injuries due to the acute injury and secondary complications. In acute-phase burns, hypovolemia and vasoconstriction cause renal impairment. Sepsis and multiorgan failure compound the problem resulting in morbidity and mortality.

Synthesis of magnetic alginate beads based on magnesium ferrite (MgFeO) nanoparticles for removal of Sr (II) from aqueous solution: kinetic, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies.

Novel magnetic alginate beads (MagAlgbeads) have been developed by incorporation of magnesium ferrite (MgFeO) in alginate beads with the aim of using them in the removal of strontium from aqueous solution. MagAlgbeads were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray fluorescence and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The adsorption of strontium onto MagAlgbeads were found to depend on pH and strontium removal increases with increasing pH until pH is 6.
