Article Synopsis
- Superhydrophobic surfaces with hierarchical micro/nanostructures, like the developed O-Ph-POSS on fluorinated graphene, achieve high water contact angles (152°) and low surface energy (5.6 mJ/m²), making them highly robust and effective in water-repelling applications.
- The O-Ph-POSS-FG hybrid demonstrated remarkable oil absorption (200-500 wt%) and was successfully used to coat polyurethane sponges, achieving oil-water separation efficiencies of 90%-99%, even after multiple cycles.
- Durability tests showed that the sponges maintained superhydrophobic properties over time, retaining effective water contact angles and separation efficiency after one year and multiple mechanical stress tests.
A Comprehensive Review and Update on Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome.
Pharmaceuticals (Basel)
November 2024
Cannabis, derived from plants, is a prevalent illicit substance in the United States, containing over 400 chemicals, including 100 cannabinoids, each affecting the body's organs differently upon ingestion. Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) is a gut-brain axis disorder characterized by recurring nausea and vomiting intensified by excessive cannabis consumption. CHS often goes undiagnosed due to inconsistent criteria, subjective symptoms, and similarity to cyclical vomiting syndrome (CVS).

- Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a serious condition that can range from mild to severe, with complications like infections and organ failure becoming more common due to the increased presence of multi-drug-resistant organisms linked to improper antibiotic use.
- * The study aims to explore the experiences of patients with suspected infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN), focusing on identifying the prevalence of multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDROs) and understanding their antibiotic resistance.
- * Data was collected from 130 patients at a tertiary hospital in India, revealing that a majority had significant pancreatic necrosis, with high rates of organ failure and infections, particularly in the respiratory tract, and showing specific microbial resistance patterns.
Background: Neonatal resuscitation airway training can be difficult as there is no feedback on the face mask technique. "JUNO" is a training respiratory function monitor that provides feedback on mask leak, ventilatory rate, and tidal volume.
Objective: To evaluate whether the use of the JUNO improves face mask ventilation techniques in manikin models.
Article Synopsis
- Previous studies have indicated that starting tube feedings within 4 hours after PEG tube placement is safe, yet many practices still delay feeding up to 24 hours.
- An updated analysis compared outcomes of early (≤ 4 hours) versus delayed (> 4 hours) feedings in adult patients, focusing on complications and mortality rates within 72 hours post-procedure.
- Results showed no significant differences in complication rates or mortality between the two feeding groups, supporting early feeding as a safe, effective alternative that may reduce hospital stays and costs.
