Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) points out that infection by enteroparasites can affect ~3.5 billion people around the world. Hemodialysis (HD) patients may be more susceptible to infections by opportunistic pathogens due to impaired immune function.

- Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are important materials used in various applications like catalysis and gas storage, but their open metal sites often get blocked by solvent molecules, requiring activation to use them effectively.
- Traditional activation methods use high temperatures, which can damage the MOFs, but a new 'gas-flow activation' technique employing inert gases at lower temperatures preserves their structure while effectively removing these solvent molecules.
- This study shows that this method not only works well with a specific MOF (HKUST-1) but is also applicable to other types, offering a safer, more efficient approach for activating MOFs without compromising their integrity.
Background: We aimed to investigate the incidence of new acute myocardial infarction (AMI), in patients with Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) who had old MI. We hypothesized that COVID-19 increases the rate of repeated AMI in this population regardless of age and gender.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted for adult patients admitted with COVID-19 and developed thromboembolic event (TEE) in 2020.
In this study, the potential of the metal-organic framework UTSA-16(Zn) as a fluorescence detector for SO is explored. The material was synthesized and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and its fluorescence behavior was analyzed before and after SO exposure. A significant decrease in fluorescence intensity was observed and a LOD of 1.
