The economic and environmental assessment of alternative marine fuels and nuclear energy utilization on a floating power plant.

The paper aims to investigate the fuel and system options for a floating power plant (FPP) considering economic performance and the decarbonization goals of the International Maritime Organization. Various case studies have been assessed using a reference FPP, encompassing the instant and future retrofitting scenarios. The ready-to-use scenarios involve alternative fuel and organic Rankine cycle-based waste heat recovery system usage.

Pretransplant Parathyroidectomy in Patients with Severe Secondary Hyperparathyroidism and Long-Term Effectiveness After Kidney Transplantation.

Kidney transplantation (KT) is the best option for patients with end-stage renal disease, but recipients still have legacy bone mineral disease from the pretransplant period, especially patients with severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT). Patients who had severe sHPT and underwent KT were analyzed retrospectively. Two groups were identified (patients with severe sHPT who had parathyroidectomy or calcimimetic before KT).
