Harnessing potassium peroxymonosulfate activation of WO/diatomite composites for efficient photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline.

The increasing prevalence of pharmaceutical contaminants in aquatic ecosystems poses profound challenges for both environmental sustainability and public health. Addressing this pressing issue requires the development of innovative, cost-effective, and efficient remediation approaches. Here we report the synthesis of WO/diatomite composites and their photocatalytic degradation in conjunction with potassium peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation.

Pain incidence, assessment, and management in Vietnam: a cross-sectional study of 12,136 respondents.

Objective: To describe the rate and demographics of pain among Vietnamese people in 48 provinces and describe the impact of pain on individuals, levels of satisfaction with treatment results, and behavior of pain sufferers.

Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted in adults presenting to outpatient clinics throughout 48 provinces in Vietnam and were randomly selected for inclusion in this study. A physician trained to administer a questionnaire in a standardized fashion interviewed each patient and collected data regarding gender, age, career, acute and chronic pain, diagnoses, treatment, and satisfaction with treatment.

Critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy in a rural area in Vietnam.

Introduction: Critical illness polyneuropathy, myopathy and polyneuromyopathy, grouped under the term CIP/CIM, share several risk factors and are associated with debilitating outcomes.

Objective: To assess the incidence and distribution of CIP/CIM subtypes and evaluate the risk factors and outcomes of CIP/CIM in a rural hospital in Vietnam.

Method: One hundred and thirty three critically ill patients treated more than ten days in the ICU were enrolled.
