Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are found frequently in both groundwater and surface water sources across Sweden posing challenges to drinking water supply. Lake Ekoln is located south of Uppsala and is the basin of Lake Mälaren; Lake Mälaren is the third largest lake in Sweden and is the drinking water source for more than two million people. The aim of this study was to simulate the fate and transport of PFAS in Lake Ekoln during the period 2017-2020 using three-dimensional hydrodynamic modelling.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the effectiveness of the dunking technique for pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) combined with Braun's jejunojejunostomy (JJ) in 100 pancreaticoduodenectomy patients, focusing on surgical outcomes and complications.
  • Conducted at Tribhuvan University Hospital, patient data from 2012 to 2023 revealed that the most common reason for surgery was ampullary carcinoma, with various complication rates such as postoperative pancreatic fistulas and delayed gastric emptying (DGE).
  • Results indicate that the dunking technique is adaptable and less time-consuming, while incorporating Braun's JJ may help reduce DGE and improve postoperative recovery despite a higher risk of hemorrhage.

Aquaponics is a promising solution for addressing food security concerns. Nonetheless, an effective water-purification system is necessary to achieve high and stable yields of fish and vegetables. This study aimed to evaluate the nitrification and oxygen transfer performance of a laboratory-scale down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) reactor with aquaponics system to treat water in an closed-aquaculture system.

Botulism is a neuroparalytic syndrome resulting from the systemic effects of an exoneurotoxin produced by gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming, obligate anaerobic bacterium . Here, we present the case of a 40-year-old male, presenting with a sudden onset of abdominal pain associated with vomiting. He was admitted for conservative management once the CT of the abdomen and pelvis revealed partial small bowel obstruction with no signs of bowel perforation or ischemia.
