- Endoscopic intragastric balloon (IGB) placement is a minimally invasive obesity treatment, though it can rarely lead to serious complications like mechanical bowel obstruction.
- A case study highlighted a male patient who experienced small bowel obstruction due to IGB migration, requiring surgical intervention for removal, but his recovery was smooth.
- The discussion emphasizes that while spontaneous IGB rupture is uncommon, it can lead to severe issues, so early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial for managing symptoms and preventing complications.
Aqueous films on mineral surfaces control the physical, chemical, and biological transport processes in the atmosphere, soil, and rocks. Despite the importance of thin films for various research and engineering fields, there are still unanswered questions regarding the roles of the different forces affecting the nature of water films. One of these, the focus of this study, is the development of abnormally thick water films on quartz surfaces.

Uranium, the most common radionuclide in non-reprocessed spent nuclear fuels, is immobile in reduced form (U(IV) and highly mobile in an oxidized state (U(VI)). The latter form is considered one of the most dangerous environmental threats in the safety assessments of spent nuclear fuel repositories.
