Surfactant-modified biochar is a viable adsorbent for eliminating Cr(VI) from synthetic wastewater. The biochar obtained from the zea mays plant (BC) was tailored with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as an anionic surfactant forming SDS-BC adsorbent. Different controlling conditions have been evaluated including pH of the solution, biomass concentration, primary Cr(VI) concentration, time of adsorption, and temperature.

Material And Methods: We assessed the immunohistochemical expression of protein disulphide isomerase A3 (PDIA3) and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) in 50 cases of cervical carcinoma, and we investigated their association with clinicopathological characteristics.
Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects around 10% of women, or 1 in 7 women, after giving birth. Undiagnosed PPD was observed among 50% of mothers. PPD has an unfavorable relationship with women's functioning, marital and personal relationships, the quality of the mother-infant connection, and the social, behavioral, and cognitive development of children.

The synthesis and characterization of the modified drug are performing successfully, the loading and release process of the MOL drug on a nano surface is measured by UV-Vis spectroscopy under room temperature and different pH. The release efficiency of the MOL drug is calculated to be 65% (pH 6.

Background: By September 2, 2021, over 30,000 COVID-19-vaccinated females had reported menstrual changes to the MHRA's Yellow Card surveillance system. As a result, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is urging researchers to investigate the COVID-19 vaccine's effects on menstruation. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the menstrual changes after COVID-19 vaccination and/or SARS-CoV-2 infection and their interrelations with demographic, mood, and lifestyle factors in Arab women of childbearing age (CBA).

The characterization process performs for confirming the formation of hybrid composite with various methods. The loading efficiency of SOF is performed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, which is reported at 94.

The fabricated nanocomposites were examined using different techniques, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, zeta potential measurement and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Compared to GO, the newly fabricated GO-FeO and GO-FeO@ZrO nanocomposites have the advantage of smaller band gaps, which result in increased adsorption capacity and photocatalytic effects.
