Unseen crisis: Revealing the hidden health impact of indoor air pollution-A scoping review.

Indoor air pollution presents a critical public health challenge, particularly in countries such as India, where millions are exposed to harmful pollutants within their homes and workplaces. This scoping review delves into the multifaceted impacts of indoor air pollution on health outcomes, synthesizing evidence from various study designs and geographical regions A scoping review was conducted. Drawing on a comprehensive search strategy, which yielded 320 records, wherein 120 in PubMed, 108 in Web of Science, and 92 in SCOPUS.

Fully covered self-expandable metal stents versus multiple plastic stents for the treatment of post-orthotopic liver transplant anastomotic biliary strictures: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background And Aims: The most common adverse event (AE) of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is anastomotic biliary stricture (ABS). Management varies widely between centers, and it is not clear whether a combination of endoscopic dilation of the stenosis followed by multiple plastic stents (MPS) or placement of a fully covered self-expandable metal stent (fcSEMS) is better for the management of post-OLT ABS. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy, safety, and cost of fcSEMS versus MPS in the treatment of post-OLT ABS.

Ultrasound assisted osmotic dehydration of sweet lime (Citrus limetta) slices: Process optimization and mass transfer kinetics.

Sweet lime (Citrus limetta), known for its unique taste and aroma, is limited in use due to its bitterness. Osmotic dehydration of sweet lime slices was studied to optimize mass transfer kinetics using response surface methodology (RSM). The debittering pre-treatment using NaCl ranging from 0 to 5 % resulted in a significant reduction of bittering compounds, achieving a 39.

Evaluating the Pros and Cons of Fractional CO2 Laser Versus Microneedling in Atrophic Acne Scars in the Skin of Color: A Split Face Study.

Background: Post-acne scarring causes severe physical and psychological distress. Multiple treatment modalities are available with no single gold standard treatment.

Aim And Objectives: To assess and compare the efficacy and safety of fractional CO2 laser and microneedling in atrophic acne scars and corelate with variables like scar type, duration, and Fitzpatrick skin types.

T-Shaped-N-Doped Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: A New Concept of Dopant-Free Organic Hole-Transporting Materials for Perovskite Solar Cells.

Although metal halide perovskites are positioned as the most powerful light-harvesting materials for sustainable energy conversion, there is a need for a thorough understanding of molecular design principles that would guide better engineering of organic hole-transporting materials, which are vital for boosting the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells. To address this formidable challenge, here, we developed a new design strategy based on the curved N-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon merged with T-shaped phenazines being decorated with (phenyl)-di--methoxyphenylamine (OMeTAD)─N-PAH23/24 and -3,6-ditertbutyl carbazole (TBCz)─N-PAH25/26. As N-PAH23/24 exhibited satisfying thermal stability, the comparative studies performed with various experimental and simulation methods revealed a pronounced correlation between the depth of the central cyclazine core and the form of the T-shape units.
