Hyponatremia Prevalence in Decompensated Chronic Liver Disease: Insights from a Tertiary Care Hospital.

Background: Liver cirrhosis is a prominent global contributor to mortality, and hyponatremia is a common complication in patients with decompensated chronic liver disease (DCLD). Hyponatremia is characterized by kidney impairment when eliminating solute-free water. The presence of contradictory findings in existing literature prompted this study.

Process Simulation and Life Cycle Assessment of Waste Plastics: A Comparison of Pyrolysis and Hydrocracking.

Pyrolysis and hydrocracking of plastic waste can produce valuable products with manageable effects on the environment as compared to landfilling and incineration. This research focused on the process simulation and life cycle assessment of the pyrolysis and hydrocracking of high-density polyethylene. Aspen Plus was used as the simulator and the Peng-Robinson thermodynamic model was employed as a fluid package.
