Article Synopsis
- Endocrine disruptors (EDCs) are complex contaminants that are tough to eliminate using traditional methods, leading researchers to explore adsorptive processes and eco-friendly enzyme-based approaches for their removal.
- This paper discusses the occurrence, classification, and toxicity of EDCs, emphasizing the need for improved understanding of the adsorption mechanisms and interactions between enzymes and EDCs for effective mitigation.
- It suggests that using computational tools like molecular docking and dynamics can enhance the development of new adsorbents and catalytic methods to better address the challenges posed by EDCs.
Article Synopsis
- * The study found that HRP effectively removed these compounds, achieving higher efficiency for 4-bromophenol (93.87%) compared to 2,4-dichlorophenol (59.19%), with computational methods revealing 4-BP has a stronger binding affinity and lower activation energy in its reaction with HRP.
- * Using techniques like density functional theory and molecular docking, researchers
Replacement of myocardium by fat, particularly of the right ventricle, is often diagnosed as arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. At autopsy, however, 68% of scars associated with chronic ischemic heart disease have shown fatty metaplasia in the scar. Four patients with a past history of previous myocardial infarctions and computed tomography demonstration of fatty change in left ventricular regions of hypokinesis and infarction are presented.

The clinical presentation includes recurrent unexplained fever with hepatosplenomegaly. Cytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia and/or hypertriglyceridemia and hemophagocytosis in bone marrow, spleen and lymphnode confirm the diagnosis.

To remedy this deficiency, the authors tested a hypothesized model of executive attitudes involving job satisfaction, life satisfaction, job stress, and work-family conflict. Using data from a large, representative sample of male executives (because of the small number of female executives in the study, the analyses were confined to men), the authors obtained LISREL results indicating support for the overall model and the specific relationships within the model.
